Vintage Super Mario Bros Menko 17 Card Lot Action Scenes Toad Bowser 1985
Description
This listing is for one authentic vintage Japanese menko card featuring multiple rectangular menko cards showing Mario characters in foreground with varied colorful stage scenes in background.
Menko are traditional Japanese paper game cards that were widely played by children during the Showa era. Because these cards were originally produced as inexpensive play items rather than long-term collectibles, surviving examples are now appreciated as unique pieces of vintage Japanese pop culture and retro paper ephemera.
The set includes a mix of character-focused and scene-based designs, with Mario, supporting characters, and enemies arranged across different compositions with varied background colors and stage-like elements.
This is a rectangular (strip-style) menko card, a format less commonly seen than standard round types, adding to its collectible appeal.
This is an original vintage item produced in Japan and not a reproduction, reprint, or modern copy. A distinctive collectible for fans of video games, vintage Japanese pop culture, and Showa-era design.
Condition
Pre-owned vintage item with age-related wear typical of Showa-era paper menko cards originally used for play.
The cards show visible signs of wear including creasing, edge wear, surface marks, bending, and discoloration.
Some cards have heavier damage, and duplicate designs are included in this lot.
The printed artwork remains visible and recognizable.
Please review all photos carefully for exact condition details.
