And a few more pictures of the contents. That's a very short twist tie in the picture that goes with the smaller baggie for the controller plug

Launch day N64. I have the receipt somewhere for proof!

Is that a graded Master System console or in an acrylic box? Looks nice displayed like that on its own shelf

I've got lots of "books about video games". There are much fewer of these made in the '80s thanonce the NES become popular. The books and strategy guides really exploded in the 90's. A good list here (but not complete!) https://thehistoryofhowweplay.wordpresscom/2020/08/27/the-video-game-history-booklist/ T

I've been trying to prove together a complete "Control Deck with free SMB" set and it's difficult to price together what specific paperwork came at which timeframe. Serial number on my console is 205010 with a 8544 manufacture date (NES-CPU-03 board) From what I've seen, the console bag (and also the paperwork plastic bag too) were 'all English' up until either the Control Deck with free players guide or the Control Deck with the white SoQ. I believe that brochure version of the 'Nintendo Entertainment Club' sheet was with the early versions of the Deluxe Set and I believe that the single sheet 'get your red hot tips' Fun Club promo was with the SMB Control Deck. Note: There are even variants of the 'Nintendo Entertainment Club' brochure you have pictured above. There's lots to figure out and I haven't found much in terms of chronological specifics on complete console boxes. I've also noticed that the red/yellow A/V cables changed slightly at one point in time after about '88 or so.
