This is actually the first time I’ve seen anything that directly links him with anything EarthBound, so it’s pretty neat. ... Read More »

Some more stuff of interest on various auction sites to report about! EarthBound Box First up is an EarthBound box being sold by Phillip, who’s a big EarthBound fan but is going through some tough times right now.
