1981 Donkey Kong, Lady Pauline, Jumpman (Mario) Japanese Menko Card

[TB12project | 0]

I hope this is the correct forum to ask this question.  Does anyone know anything about this Menko card and if there is a checklist somewhere.  I stumbled into this while buying some 1985 Super Mario Menko cards.   This card has stumped bot PSA and SGC. Thank you in advance for any help.

there are many menko cards with nintendo artworks on them

i have a large 15 cm menko card with mario bros. 1983 on it, nobody would give me even 5 $ for it

they are all cheap to my knowledge, maybe there are specific ones that are rare and sought after, this i don't know

This is true. These things are like POGs of Japan, were made of cheap thin cardboard, massively produced and diverse.

I stumbled upon some really cool ones once and looked into them. The Americas and Europe are where most collectors are, and there is barely a market for these.

But, that doesn't mean they aren't cool and worth collecting. I like that early, 1984-86 Mario art style and these cards are a good way to get cheap graphics from that time.
