Can anyone tell me about this jacket?
http://s1140.photobucket.com/user/kirkfowler/library/Mario%20...

When they were made? Were they sold or promotional items? How common are they? Is it worth anything now? I have looked all over the web for info on this and all I could find out is it supposedly came out around the time Super Mario Bros 2.

If anyone could provide some info or direct me to a source that could I would really appreciate it. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to post these questions, I just couldn't find anything out about this coat.

Thank you

Given the Nintendo Power logo, my first guess would be a prize from their "Player's Pulse" survey that ran every issue. (maybe one time? I know T-shirts were the preferred clothing to give away)

I don't believe Nintendo Power ran a regular mail-order shop until the mid '90s.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it is. They often included jackets of that type as one of their prize giveaways.

I have a jacket from Super Mario Bros the Movie with Film Crew written on the back. It's soo cheese-tastic. Unfortunately i don't think its worth a lot as a friend of mine picked it up on ebay for me as a gift only 2-3 years ago and he wouldn't have paid a lot. I'm gonna hide it away for a few years and hope eventually someone will want it.
