Hey,
I have a lot of cool things in my collection (to many displays actually); so I am letting this one go. I am not sure what I want for it (nothing astronomical), but it is harder to find and in great condition.

As the title says it is a 1985 Nintendo Mario Bros Display Topper. Send me PMs as you wish

UPDATE:
I have recieved inquiries so I went back to my Price Log to give an idea of what I am looking for; I paid $58.65 (yes, I log everything! haha) and I am looking to at least make my money back.

It is a "Tri-Fold" type thing that sits on top of a display cabinet; I have had it just sitting on my shelf with all my NES games.

When laid flat it measures ~3feet, but when folded in Tri-fold stance it is obviously shorter. It is made of thin cardboard and is clearly dated NINTENDO 1985 on the back. There is a small tear on the bottom center in the white area (no where near the art) that is not noticeable when displayed. I am surprised it has survived this long, but I guess with people like me caring for it, it is in good hands.

Geez as a Mario freak I'd totally want it, but I have nowhere to put something like that right now. Bump for looking!

FYI that's not for a store display, it was used on the top of the arcade cabinet to announce when a new game was added to the Vs. Unisystem. The main artwork runs along the front, and the "NEW" art folds at the corners and runs along each side of the machine. They usually go for about $15.

CRAP! I meant to fix that, yea I know it is an arcade topper. My wording is just odd, as I have been using it as a display topper essentially; because I don't have an arcade cabinet.

Thanks for adding that! :)

EDIT: BTW, $15 may have been your experience with the Arcade Toppers, but I have seen them go for much more (based on the game). And like I said I did pay $58.65 on Ebay a bit ago and there were many bids as I recall; so just looking to make my money back. Thanks for your info again!
