I am going to a few conventions this summer for retro stuff. I am hoping to gauge interest amongst some of the collectors and people selling stuff. This may help approximate the value. I appreciate everyone's feedback to this point, you guys rock!

I would tend to agree, but by the same token I'd like to keep the thread on topic

A fake game? I assume you mean the Doki Doki vs Super Mario Bros 2 port between Japan and the states? Also who knows maybe it is a nod to The Lost Levels

Thank you very much for the feedback and posting that other thread. I really appreciate everyone's feedback to this point concerning the jacket. I likely will end up listing it on Ebay eventually to test the waters and see how much intrigue it garners amongst fans, collectors, etc.

Count, thank you for the post and that was something that I had considered. I have no idea what other sizes that jacket came in back in the day, I'd probably sport it today if it is was in an adult size. That being said given the nature of it and age I think it would look great in a box frame on a wall, probably what I will end up going with it. As mentioned, I intend to try to get an autograph on it and noticed the other seller had some issues with the markers used to try to sign it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what kind of markers, pens, etc. would potentially be more suitable to sign it? I imagine that people that do autographs use sharpies or some sort of permanent marker. @Link do you think it would hinder the value getting him to sign it? Or do you think it would be better to have him sign the Mario Bros 2 game or something to that nature. I kind of thought the same thing since he didn't really do the voice of Mario until his voice was depicted in later games (past the NES/SNES eras).

Yes I do know who that is, which is why I am trying to get an approximation of the coat itself . This is the first one I have seen, which is why I am trying to get some history, more information, etc. to try to figure out what I have. I found it a little strange that none of the picture show the actual signature of it. And it reading the description it looks like he was unable to sign it but rather "i will do my best to answer them it also got 4 smile face drawn on there by Mr Mario him self Charles Martinet was try to have him sign it but it wasn't showing up the best but nice lil extra touch and i have a few pictures of him drawing on it enjoy" Also, I will be going to Collect-A-Con this summer in Edison NJ and he (Charles Martinet) is supposed to be a guest there signing autographs so I likely will try to get him to sign that and my copy of Super Mario Bros. 2

Here is the one I mentioned earlier. It seems it has a signature so I am assuming that increases the value, but I imagine the jacket by itself is pretty rare seeing as this is the ONLY other one I have seen and it doesn't even completely match what I have. For what it is worth, I also have a copy of Super Mario Bros. 2 :-). ebay listing for that jacket

Interesting, so what would you approximate the value of being. I see one that resembles mine going for 5k but I think it has a signature on it or something like that?

Any idea of what you think the value might be of a piece like that or any history behind it?

Yeah I love it too, and I am not gonna lie I felt like a BAMF wearing it to elementary school. I am not sure if I could ever sell it but at the same time I am curious about the worth, rarity, and value of it.

Good afternoon, and thank you for adding me to this forum. I have been a long time Nintendo fanatic and have a piece of memorabilia I would like to get some information about and potentially what something like this would be worth. Over the years, I have scoured the internet looking for similar pieces to see if they have been sold or even to get more information about them and to this point I have come up empty handed. This jacket was given to me as a gift when I was really young and it appears to be some sort of send away type of piece via Nintendo Power magazine a popular Nintendo magazine from back in the day. I used to feel pretty darn cool wearing this to school with my friends and I'd like to share the pictures with you to get some feedback, information, or any information about what something like this would be worth. At the very least I think it is an awesome piece of Nintendo history! Any information provided, would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! Riftshaper
