Imperial 1988 Official Nintendo Video Game Stick-Ons Puffy Stickers

This is a vintage sheet of official Nintendo puffy stickers, branded as 'Stick-Ons', released in 1988. The item consists of a black cardboard header featuring a magenta-lit R.O.B. (Robotic Operating Buddy) and the Imperial logo, stapled to a clear plastic bag containing the sticker sheet. The stickers feature iconic characters from early NES hits, including Mario and Princess Peach from Super Mario Bros., Glass Joe and Little Mac from Punch-Out!!, and the logo for The Legend of Zelda. The stickers are constructed from a soft, raised vinyl with a foam core to provide a 3D 'puffy' effect. Notable condition issues include a significant paper tear on the right side of the header card, likely from the removal of a price tag, along with light edge wear and corner blunting on the card. The plastic bag appears slightly yellowed with age, and there is minor discoloration/foxing on the white sticker backing. The copyright text '1988 NINTENDO OF AMERICA INC.' is printed on the header and many of the individual stickers. This item serves as a significant piece of early gaming ephemera, representing the peak of Nintendo's first-party licensing during the late 1980s.
