Title: Raffle: Nintendo Stuff - Winner has been drawn!
Post by: roflmao on April 27, 2012, 11:05:35 AM
Well I think it's time for me to put up another raffle.  My collection of OBEY doesn't have much in the way of duplicates at the moment, so I thought I'd send off some stuff from an earlier raffle I won along with another box of Nintendo Cards.

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ZHbJBR_0HVo/T5sTrguzg4I/AAAAAAAAD_I/N9U-_OIxe0E/s951/002.jpg)

The box contains 48 "GamePacks", each containing 3 scratch-off game cards and 2 stickers.  You should have no trouble coming up with a complete set of cards/stickers and have tons of leftover unopened packs.

The cassette tape thingy looks to contain a 35 minute audio story, a big poster, and cardboard 3D glasses (I'm guessing for the poster).  It's still shrinkwrapped, though I've been tempted to open it and check it out a few times.

The lunchbox should be pretty self explanatory.  I haven't used it.

The cassette/poster thingy and lunchbox were part of an earlier raffle I won, which also included another lunchbox.  After having this stuff sitting around my office for while now, I think it's time to let someone else enjoy them. :)  You can see another picture of the lunchbox and tape/poster package here.  You can see more pics and info on the cards here.

The winner will be drawn next Friday, April May 4 (hey, that's my son's birthday!).

The fine print:
1. While I don't think any of this is really worth much, please don't enter if you plan on ebaying any of this.  Feel free to re-raffle any part of this lot here though!
2. I'll cover the shipping in the States.  International folks are welcome to join in, but I'd ask that you cover the difference in shipping costs.
3. I'd really like these to go to an active participating forum member, so please have at least 50 posts by the end of the raffle.

Thanks and good luck!

Yay!!!!!!!! A raffle that I want to enter! Woohoo!
 
I proudly submit my name for this raffle.

Should I win, I guarantee that my daughter and I will use everything as it was intended. Maybe I'll be able to pry the silly Pokemon cards away from her when she investigates the Mario Bros. cards.

Those Nintendo cards look neato. Where did you get full boxes of them?? Please sign me up, I'm too curious about the cards and 3D poster to pass. I say you should just crack open the cassette thing and check out that vintage 3D goodness before you send it off--you know you want to :)

I'm looking at the cassette (the exposed side) and the back of the packaging and I don't see anything saying it's in stereo...  If I were to open this (I'm still on the fence about it because I think it would be neat to send it off in its original shrink wrap), I could record it and release it as an mp3 here.  It says the story is 35 minutes long.  Hmmm....  :-k

A looong time ago (10+ years because it was back when I was in college...) I won an auction that contained like 20 boxes of these cards.  I bid on it on a whim and won it for very little (I wish I could remember how much).  I turned around and sold a few of the boxes on ebay one by one and made my investment back by selling like 2 or 3 of them.  I think by then others saw what they were going for and the market was saturated and they became worth next to nothing.  

But I didn't buy them with dollar signs in my eyes, I just thought it'd be cool to have a ton of these Nintendo cards :).  I have a 2 complete sets of the cards taped together like posters hanging in my office.  One to show off the "game" side and one to show off the "tips" side.  And I think I've got another set somewhere in a 3-ring binder, so they don't sunfade.  I've been slowly giving my surplus away ever since.  I once went to a friends house and hid packets all over his place.  I bet he still hasn't found all of them. :D

Hey Necromancer, would you like to be added to the list?  I wasn't sure...

Fret not!  I'll probably do another one in a few months.  But it'll only include a box of the cards (plus whatever extra random stuff I feel like throwing in).  :D
