JAPAN 1987 SEGA GAME CARD 87 AOU SHOW HANG ON II TRADE PROMO ARCADE JAMMA 2 USED

Original Sega Game Card, produced to promote Sega's new game Hang On II. This was a special item given away at 1987 AOU Show (Amusement Arcade Operator's Union) - a trade show for arcade employees to test out and purchase new machines. Limited edition card, which is numbered 398 . Card has been used.

VERY RARE item, these Sega Game Cards are really interesting collectables, and pieces of history. Back in the mid 1980s, Sega began producing these cards - they work in a similar way to prepaid phone cards, except for arcades, allowing the user a certain number of credits to use in whatever games they choose. Simple and convenient, with the bonus of getting to keep a cool little art card afterwards! These cards also allowed the user to enjoy unlimited credits on certain new machines displayed at AOU shows (Amusement Machine Operators' Union shows / Japan Amusement Expo) or JAMMA shows. (Apparently also in Sega's headquarters - we got this from a Japanese Sega collector, who received the card during a visit there and used it on the machines they had in the lobby!)

As you can see from the photos, card does have occasional tiny mark / wear, and holes from use. Is excellent for age, hand numbered on back. Original merchandise from the 80s! Measures 8.5cm x 5.5cm. Perfect collection / display item. Please take a look at photos, and if you have any questions, just ask!

POSTAGE INFORMATION
If you win more than one of my auctions or buy-it-nows, I usually post all the games together. European / other International customers - postage costs should be provided, but if you're not sure, feel free to ask. I can always combine postage costs - for multiple items paid for within a single transaction - from as little as £1 per additional item! (Large items will be more, unboxed games, figures or pin badges will be a lot less.) If combined shipping doesn't work at checkout, please do not pay before I have sent you an invoice for the total amount as I won't be able to combine shipping on separate transactions (if the items require immediate payment please ask - I'll help)!

PACKAGING
I *always* pack my items carefully, with plenty of padding (and cardboard boxes for large / fragile items) to ensure they will reach you undamaged. I collect retro games myself, and understand the importance of this - I will never send a parcel that I wouldn't be happy to receive!

DISPATCH TIME
99% of the time I dispatch items no later than 5 working days* after payment has cleared, and you will receive eBay notifications when your parcel is on its way, along with any tracking information. Should dispatch be delayed for any reason, I will message you as soon as possible to let you know.

* Working days are Monday-Friday, and exclude Saturdays, Sundays, and all UK Bank Holidays. Items will also be subject to delay in the event of Postal strikes or ISP difficulties, and may also be held up by public transport delays or cancellations.

ANY QUESTIONS / OTHER QUERIES?
If you have any other questions not answered here (or would just like to chat about retro games!) feel free to contact me any time by clicking the "Ask a Question" link from the item page (it should be just below this message!). I usually reply within 24 hours.
