Description
First Offering of a Nintendo World Championships Trophy
Nintendo World Championships Trophy - Detroit Champion John
Wyman, 12-17 Age Group, Nintendo 1990. This trophy from the
1990 Nintendo World Championships, awarded for the Detroit
competition, is a standout piece of gaming memorabilia. Made from
metal with a wooden base, it's relatively heavy and very
well-built, reflecting its significance in the early days of
competitive gaming. The 1990 championships were pivotal in bringing
eSports into the mainstream and setting the groundwork for today's
global competitions.John Wyman, who won this trophy in the 12 through 17 age category, was one of just three Detroit winners (as per rules of the contest in each city), making this item particularly rare. It comes directly from Wyman's own collection, adding a personal touch to its historical value. For anyone interested in the evolution of eSports, this trophy isn't just a collectible-it's a direct link to a key moment in the history of competitive gaming. It weighs 3.27 pounds and measures 14" x 8" x 4.5," perfect for pretty much any collector's shelf or display case.
