Overview:
These cards provide several "top secret" tips that really aren't top secret at all. I was hoping the next time I'd play Super Mario Bros. I'd have the upper edge in completing levels faster, but no. The tip they gave me was one that came in the manual! Looks like your detective work is amateur, private guy! Again, the stickers were totally worth the buy.

Product Description:
They came in wax paper, unsealed! The way it was folded though was more than enough to keep it shut though. Here's what was inside:

Front of package:
The Nintendo logo aligns the top of the card, followed by GamePack written in blue bold large print with a drop shadow. Underneath that shows the Princess in a pink dress holding her hand up to her should, above her on the right side is the price of 25 cents written in bold small print. In a red splash shape reads the words "With top secret tips!" written in bold white capital print. Underneath that has the Topps logo and a city backdrop along the bottom. Within the silhouette of the buildings reads "3 scratch off cards (bullet) 2 stickers" with "This product is for fun - No prizes awarded" underneath; all of it written in small capital print.

Back of package:
With a yellow background, a barcode in a white rectangle resides  with the number 0 41116 00410 0, all of it upside-down. Underneath that has the words (lines separated with a semicolon) "The Topps Company,; Inc., Duryea, PA; 18642. Made & Prtd.; in U.S.A.

On all five cards reads "(C)1989 Nintendo Of America Inc." in small capital black print along the edges of the pictures. In the same font, on the Zelda scratch-off card, reads "Zelda screen 8" in the lower right, on the Super Mario Bros. 1 card reads "Mario I screen 4", and on the Super Mario Bros. 2 scratch card reads "Mario II Screen 6."
