Nintendo Mario Donkey Kong Menko Cards Lot 3 1981 1982 1983 Vintage Japanese For Sale

Nintendo Mario Donkey Kong Menko Cards Lot 3 1981 1982 1983 Vintage Japanese Description This listing is for a set of three authentic vintage Japanese Nintendo menko cards featuring Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Mario Bros. designs from 1981, 1982, and 1983. 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 three round cards form a chronological group of early Nintendo designs. The 1981 Donkey Kong card shows Donkey Kong prominently in the foreground, with Pauline and Mario also visible. The 1982 Donkey Kong Jr. card features Donkey Kong Jr. in the foreground with Donkey Kong behind him, while the 1983 Mario Bros. card prominently features Mario alongside an enemy character. Each card has its respective year and Nintendo Co., Ltd. copyright printed on the front. These are round menko cards with plain, unprinted backs. These are original vintage items produced in Japan and not reproductions, reprints, or modern copies. A distinctive three-card group for fans of Nintendo, Mario, Donkey Kong, classic arcade games, vintage Japanese pop culture, and Showa-era design. Condition Pre-owned vintage set with light age-related wear. The cards show light surface and edge wear, with minor marks and toning visible on the plain backs. The front artwork remains colorful and clearly visible, and the three cards present well overall for their age. Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition of each card. Payment
