eNot too long after those EarthBound promotional materials were recently auctioned off, a fellow by the name of Starman 99 contacted me and mentioned he happened to have one of the super-rare EarthBound rulers that were also used as promotional items back in 1995.
Luckily for collectors, he decided to put it up for auction here! This marks the first time I’ve ever seen one of these actually being sold in the many years I’ve been running EarthBound sites 😯

Super-rare EarthBound ruler!
Like the other promo materials from a few weeks ago, this EarthBound ruler was included in a set of promotional stuff sent to people in the press. For more details about the ruler, you can see here.
Supposedly all of these promo materials were included inside a Mach Pizza box that looked like a real pizza box. I’ve never seen one, and it’s hard to imagine many still exist, but it sure would be cool to have a full set of all this stuff for like an EarthBound museum or something 😛

OH YEAH? TO WAR! >:P
OH YEAH? YOUR BOTH GOING DOWN BECAUSE I HAVE 2000$ TO WASTE ON A RULER OH YEAH!
Everyone should probably get out of LucasTizma’s way. I’m deadly serious here.

I think it will pass $200. This is Spa—Eagleland!!! Home of the $14+ BURGER!

Someday, we’ll all have to get all this stuff together and open up an EarthBound museum. Obtaining all of these EB knick-knacks would be too awesome a responsibility for one person.

Dangit, naggit, nuggit! I’d so get this if my budget wasn’t so tight!
Hmm… Seeing as the ruler has never been on ebay before (afaik), this will almost definitely pass $300, and might even go for double that.
@Mother 4, he’s already freaking BROKE from buying the EB0 prototype!!!! Also, Mato, PLEASE stop posting these, It’ll get people to go bid on it more than if they randomly stumble upon it >:(

After taking another look at this auction, I have to ask, what is the big difference between a new ruler and a used ruler?
“Hmmm, this looks like a good ruler to buy… hey, wait a minute, someone’s used this before. What kind of crap are you trying to sell me here!”
I’m not really gonna bid on this. I’ll wait for the next EB0-proto to come.

If I was going to spend crazy amounts of dough on Earthbound stuff right now, it’d be to build myself an army of Mr. Saturn. 😛

Hoo boy, I can’t wait to see how high the bids get on this.

Daaaaaaaaaaaang it! I was in contact with this guy to buy it directly, but I’ve been out of town, so I didn’t get his e-mails until now! D: Oh well, I’ll bid on it anyway. 😉 Kinda low of MOTHER-reserved cash after that $500 EB box with promo materials.

@Chrissii: Do iiiit! 😀 Mr. Saturn Wars!
Its neat to see so many promotional goods show up. I wonder how many the EB community doesn’t know about are still out there to be discovered.

it’s things like these that make me keep all the boxes and accesories to my games and stuff. You never know when things like these will skyrocket on ebay
I can understand the Mach Pizza Guy Freshener but, I can not comprehend the ruler. Was a little kid going to buy this game because I got a….RULER! It’s kind of a fail in promotion by itself. I will be very surprised if this sells for more than $200.

Daaaamn! $61 for a freaking ruler! The EarthBound community never ceases to amaze me.
Man, I’m surprised I was the top bidder at $61 for almost an entire day!
![]() | Mister Crosser said on Feb. 23, 2010 |
Hm… Looks like it might not go for very high…
![]() | Mato said on Feb. 23, 2010 |
I get the feeling it’ll go for a good deal higher, people are just circling around it now until it’s time to snipe 😛
![]() | Mister Crosser said on Feb. 26, 2010 |
Part of me wants to go bid $500 right now and see who outbids me. But the other part of me is scared because someone might not outbid me!

Who wants me to record the last 60 seconds of this auction?
Hi, I’m the seller of the ruler…it is too late for me to revise the auction, but for whoever winds up winning; I’m going to be incluing an extra item into the package with the ruler. It’s nothing amazing, just a magazine that has a small writeup about Earthbound 64 and has some screenshots of the game as well. I wish I had some other EB items to add in for you guys, but that’s about all she wrote as far as what I have.
if i bought that to school i’d think people who’d
call me the crazy earthbound lady.
First of all, that looks cool.
Second, Nintendo doesn’t rule. It would if they released EarthBound, Mother, and Mother 3 to America.
Third, its just a ruler.
Found one in Amazon under Earthbound Ruler piggybacking on a Westcott Wooden Ruler Listing…
OH MAH PORK!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH THIS IS MINE 😛
