The 1st issue of the long running magazine Nintendo Power! Lower grade, yet I picked it up early on when I got back into collecting. It has been read and loved! This issue has tips and tricks on the 1st Zelda game, including a fold out map, which is intact. Blue Label! It's easy to get excited about these, as my friends got subscriptions, I did not. I'm basically in "fear of missing out" mode, from age 9. I still argue they're fun enjoyable, and with the addition of recent reissues of older games, these are still to be used for the tips and tricks! Lest they be forgotten. I know of sites like gamefaqs.com that have rendered these tricks to be available online for free of charge. Along with YouTube, these all just make me want to play though, ha! I used to feel this way when young and watching sports. Why watch when you can, play?
Complete with a back cover picture of the actual game featured on the cover, got to catch them all because this started it all for Nintendo Power Magazine!
Grader Notes:
Back Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color;

Scott Campbell Nintendo Power Contest Winner! SS'd by Campbell on 5/26/18. The other of the 1st 2 magazines that I submitted to CGC, both in Signature Series! I tried like the Dickens to get published in Nintendo Power's art contest as a kid, and I had a dream one day that I did but could never find it when looking through my magazines. I guess that I woke up! So many Memories! I submitted an envelope with Mega Man drawn by me at about age 11, shooting his mega blaster! T.U.R.T.L.E. Power. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a favorite pastime with friends and late nights, and this is the NON-SUBSCRIPTION EDITION. Clean back cover, with no messy address label, but this deep into the run it is opted for a different back cover picture. That is about all she wrote except there have been happenings with the 2nd copy in my other set with some interesting twists!
Complete with a back cover picture of the less talked about "THE OFFICIAL NINTENDO PLAYERS GUIDE!" It is not too thick for CGC to slab, so this copy might get sent into CGC, as it still contains the stickers! Most often they are missing, which would result in a "qualified grade!" All things of equal value it is sought after when complete. I bought it from the used bookstore for a cool $9 with tax, a happy collection pick-up.
Grader Notes:

Right Bottom Back Cover Crunch;

Right Center Front Cover Large Tear with Creas;
Top Back Cover Crease;
Whole Book Small Multiple Bend.
