Looks like it was included with Issue 85 and also as a direct mailer as here is the one I have:

SNES - Mario RPG Offer Mailer

Well, albeit someone got the other one ... it's new to me and this list!  Looks like EA Sports did another guide besides the PGA Tour 96 one.  This one is for Fifa 96!  Always great to find a new book from the SNES era that I didn't know existed! 

@doner24   @VGD

it's been almost a year .... where does the time go? 

updated with link to the eBay page for some live auctions!  Don't miss out!  some goodies all over the board.

We are live, enjoy!

Looking great Dan!  Congrats on the launch!  

Can we get some CIB breakdowns on the main load page of the particular game for sale?  That would be spectacular.  Things like the Gradius 5 screw 7.5 CIB are a mystery as to what the subs are given there aren't additional pictures.

I like what I see, though I'm more interested in waiting for it to open up to CIB and cart-only stuff, which I assume might be a while.  Regardless, looks good.  If I move some of my more high-end stuff, I might post some bounties.

There is some CIB up there already ....

Anyone have any idea how much the Maniac Mansion Hint Book is worth for NES? And is it worth any more with the red decoder strip?

I think you could get a sale of around $100.  May be a bit less.  They come up every now and again .... last hint book for the PC ended just short of $100 so I'd give it a somewhat comparable value.

@acidjaguaris that sealed????  that is one fine looking item.

 

can you do a pic of the label. can read what the "i need a head" wata put on there.

not sealed.  Just cart / manual / box but like new given the overall grade.  

Top label reads: 

*Made in China, Round SOQ TM, No Rating, Mani, Nintendo Hologram Sticker, Chinese Version (CHN Code)

*Made in China, No Rating, CHN Code (Cart)

* Printed in China, No Rating, CHN Code (Manual)

I figured maybe some people here would enjoy this somewhat as much as I do.  One of my most very favorite games growing up and excited to own it in it's most truly rare variation .... 

CHN Solar Striker - CiB.   So hot right now.  @JVOSS @RH @Splain

Solar Striker CiB for Gameboy - Chinese Variant

In all seriousness @monsterG .... there is no answer to your question on what is the hardest CHN game to find is.  While the last one in my set was Bomber Man GB 2, I doubt that was his last one.  It really is luck of the draw to find more than a handful of these titles whatsoever at all, so no one will be able to say anything to the question IMO.  

I had made a solid attempt at getting this list going a little while ago with a little nudge from @Art of Nintendo Power .... so here's where I landed.  If anyone has any new ones to contribute ... please, by all means! 

You will notice some trends.  And I'm fairly positive that some of the missing issues that fall within a sticker set, probably are ok to assign the same last issue notice.  But I like to have confirmation still first! 

Legend

• AC = Additional Cover Page
• Sticker = physical sticker on front cover
• If not noted, it was printed on the cover physical for distribution 
• One issue does have a last issue notice on the plastic mailer as well

I have a copy of the Vidiot Boy's Guide to Legend of Zelda Series. I'm looking to sell it but can't find one anywhere online. Anyone have an idea of what it could be worth?

$200+ is a good starting point.  It's pretty hard to find and comes from a popular franchise

Amazing set my man!!! Congrats on going that extra mile…. This one is just a beast.  Awesome to see it come together for you. 

@Rivin - thank you for sharing the origin of that sticker.  I’m curious….Do you have a complete set with all cover variants and a newsstand set as well? I’ve tossed around doing newsstand variants as well but still can’t make the commitment

Nice to see this poster does exist with a few people.  I also have it in great shape.  Found it probably right around the same time as NP 4 Ever it looks like.  Hadn’t seen / heard of another since these two just were mentioned! Great stuff @Dr. Morbis @Nintendopower4ever! 

Here’s what I’d say is the best love for turbografx.  The paper side!

After months of waiting it finally arrived from overseas. Stoked to get the near complete library of paper at once! 

Gotta post a group photo now!!

Mr Rothchild has let me touch his box.  

Will sort through this steamy pile and get it moving tomorrow likely .... 

As I started in on this task of building a list and collecting these guides .... I can to realize there really isn't any one solid source for a list with variants on this set.  It is an incredible guide set that was top notch during creation.  Many useful guides covering all sorts of platforms.  I am nearing completion myself and figured I'd get this list out into the public space for any other crazy people that are trying to go for a full set or maybe want to check out a guide from a different publisher than the known Bradygames / Prima empires that were popular during this time span.  

There are some discrepancies on numbering in the beginning and with the last book.  Otherwise this should be the full run.  If anyone has any other variants (particular Blockbuster covers), please speak up!  I'd love to see new things to add to this list as I've been consistently doing so for the better part of a year now.  

If the book is highlighted in red.... I'm interested in buying ! hahaha, sorry had to put a shameless plug into this as it's been a beast to complete.    

And to those that are interested, essentially every book they did had a poster included specific to Versus books.  Only a few were missing posters (001 / 04 / Counterstrike) that I have found so far.

Hopefully the internet now has a better resource for these Perfect Guide books.  Such a great run from a great publisher ....  Enjoy! 

Total number of guides with variants found thus far:   65

I will pass as well.  Mr Rothchild was spot on

updated!

Welcome aboard NGD!  Glad to see you come check it all out! 

updated

bumping it up!  fresh inventory update... now with some WATA

Hey Frisbee .... certainly say it has been a while hasn't it ... ! 

I also will refrain from any mention of where the new black box market sits.  Congrats on getting a cabin!  That sounds like a great getaway in general.   Tell the lady, WELCOME TO THE NEW NORMAL.
