Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Thanks, out of all the sales I went to that day I picked all that up from one house sadly. I miss the early 90s just for the reason it's hard to find stuff anymore. People either have sold it all off or they think their HIV infected, turd washed vintage stuff is worth astronomical prices.

Or they throw their old vintage stuff away thinking it's worthless. I remember a couple years ago I was at a yard sale and they had a couple Xbox games out for sale and I asked them if they had any other video game stuff. The guy mentioned he had an Atari with a bunch of games but had just thrown them in the trash pile thinking it was worthless. Luckily, he hadn't gotten rid of the garbage yet, and was able to dig it out and sell it to me for an awesome price. He just didn't realize people collected old video games and assumed it was just obsolete electronics like a tape deck or an old computer, and had no value.

So he pulled the stuff out of the trash and then had the gall to sell it to you?!

Actually I offered him $15. He brought out an Atari 6 switch, 2 joysticks, 2 paddles, about a dozen games, and a cool matching storage case/dust cover. Even though he didn't know it was worth anything it still had value to me so I was happy to give him a few bucks. He probably would have given it to me for free but I wanted to give him something for such an awesome find.

As a spacesaver and for convinience I ordered all 17... let's say unofficial... Amiibo Cards for all Breath of the Wild compatible Zelda cards.

And oh my is the quality good.
Credit card plastic with professional quality print with sparkles.
15 Euros total.

I think I'll order the Mario Kart 8 set next (about same price for 20 cards) and some other ones.

I can now store my Amiibos in long stay storage for great space saving.

If your not to concerned about the looks this can be done your self for much less. 100 tags can be had for around $30 form aliexpress. There are several sites that walk you through the process. I have created some for my self.

On a side note can anyone tell me the font I need to match the spacing on the Super Mario.

Adjust the "leading"

(Pronounced "led", not "leed", as its representative of the lead spacers that were used between letters when all type was made from metal stamps and placed by hand in to the printing press)

I know about making your own cards, and I've read through the process.  The biggest problem with doing it my self, is that I don't want to.  ;)

I understand but I am cheap and I have a lot of access to tools and supplies here at work. So that is a plus and making this kind of stuff forces me to learn Photoshop.

+1

I have more than enough equipment to make these stupid things, but I can get a set pre-made for $15 shipped on eBay, so I did. I ain't got for that crap. Hell, I'd be happy as a clam if they were plain white cards with the names written on them in sharpie.

I didn't get the impression that you were looking for a font. But, if you are, Super Mario 256 is a LOT closer to the original logo than the font on that card.

This came in mail yesterday. I sold my previous excitebike game because the label was damage, I don't like to have them with damage.

Nintendo is starting to crack down on these pretty hard. Now is defiantly the time to buy them if you're not planning on making your own.

Hell, the auction from which I bought mine was taken down the following day. I can't even see it in my purchase history on eBay.
