I'm a former collector, and do my best to accurately describe every item I sell as best as possible. I'll be posting many more manuals and games for NES, SNES, and N64, as well as random game/console inserts and retro video game magazines like Nintendo Power. I know you have plenty of options to choose from, and genuinely appreciate your interest. As a former Marine and 100% permanently disabled veteran, it truly means a lot.

Thanks for looking!
