Title: Mario Power Tennis - Gamecube - NA - Original cover art w/o bs emblem - Raws
Post by: TYB on December 26, 2018, 10:48:36 AM: i'm looking for a power tennis cover without the emblem, but it has a different spine. As you can see from this link (https://imgur.com/a/7RAJonJ) what is left of the spine (i ripped the art in half as a kid, forgive me) is purple with a gridlike pattern, and has a tiny gamecube logo. If anyone has an existing scan of this specific box, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Example:

I'm convinced that's what this is. But possibly from Blockbuster, GameStop or some other display box from some place else. Some place that used full size art on the front. Here's a couple more examples, though it does look like yours has the GameCube logo on the top, like the Hollywood Video example.
