Back In the 90's When I was a Young Lad I worked for Toys R Us and was given this Nintendo vest as part of a promo to help Sell thier Products at the time. There was a demand for Super Nintendo and Virtual boy products. This vest was given to me to help market thier products and sucker helpless parents to buy things with the nintendo seal of quality. Anyway I was looking in an old box and happened to come across it rather then toss it out I know theres a ton of nintendo fans that look for any strange memorabillia like this. Any Idea what would be a Resonable Fetch ?
Thanks

I only see 10 pieces of flair. Fifteen pieces of flair are the minimum required to work here. But there is no limit to how many pieces of flair you can wear. Now Brian over there is sporting 37 pieces of flair. Each piece represents how much he cares about being an individual and being a team player. You see, you can be both at once . . . somehow. But that's not important. What's important is the flair.
I don't know how much it is worth, but it is pretty damn cool. I'd pay 10 bucks for it, but I'm sure others would pay a lot more.

Geez, give the guy a break. If more pieces of flair are required why don't you make 37 the minimum. LOL

I could actually use that hat. Would go along great with my VB t-shirt. :p
Don't know what it's worth, but if you want to sell or trade, LMK.

well the hat is awesome and 20 to 30 for it sounds like a steal as for the whole thing no idea. Will be sure to bid if you throw it on ebay.

I honestly didn't connect that with Mr. Rogers.. but when he's mentioned I think this: In an unfortunate twist of events Mr. Rogers was killed by his neighbor.

Since it has gone on a while, and I'd hate for people to remain mis-informed: Mr. Rogers didn't wear sweater vests. He wore cardigans. Glad we got that cleared up!

Okay, so I've actually watched some of this show again recently. I put it on for my 20 month old because it is just so much more calm than modern kids' shows. I also like some of the stuff he talks about, like how it is a good thing to repair stuff rather than throw it out and buy a new one, and his craft-type things are cool (water in bottles to make different notes, etc).
Anyway, I totally get what you mean about Mr. McFeely. More interesting to me is the clearly sexual relationship between Lady Aberlin and Daniel Stripèd Tiger. Oh and Lady Elaine Fairchilde always has and always will creep the hell out of me.

Oh I know what I'm missing. I purposely didn't watch that. I watched the other ones though. Sesame Street-yes. Reading Rainbow-yes. Square One-yes. Mr. Rogers-hell no, lol. But as always, to each his own.

great stuff thats stuff that tends to go nuts at auction.
I'd say $50 min on that hat and the vest with flair ~$150
so $200 for the lot
