Nintendo Power #1 First Issue July/August 1988 Attached Poster & All Inserts. This magazine would grade much higher if it were not for the writing on the cover.

With a professional comic clean and press the possibility to attain a 4.0 grade after CGC submission is highly likely. Ballpoint pen writing on cover "Contra 74", it was done in fine point ink without any noticeable indentation. Writing does not transfer to the back of the cover. The slightest indentation from the writing on the front cover is only visible at the perfect tilt angle of light.

2 in cover crease front left bottom. Some stress lines with minimal color loss around the upper left spine area. Some thumbmark / thumbnail stressing on page edge in between yellow star and mushroom. Hairline scratch under Mario's black heel and outstretched arm on the red shirt.

There is no other scratching on the cover that I can find. 1/16 inch dog ear stress line lower right corner and shows slightest blunting. Minor blunting on bound corners, sharp upper left page corner. Back cover has about a 5-in stress crease that isn't deep but apparent.

Stress lines along the back cover page edge. Some thumbmark / thumbnail stressing along back cover page edge. Overall the back has minimal scratching. No pages missing, free from folds. Tears, dog eared pages or writing anywhere. All Photos Above Are Of The ACTUAL Item For Sale And Not Stock Images.
