Hello!!
Just joined this site because I have recently acquired my first Atari! At a church rummage sale I was searching through a shed when I was told the items in there weren't forsale yet as they had not been tested to see if they work. (Tvs and radios ect) I spotted an old Atari box with some games on top in the corner and offered $20 to take it home. The man agreed. While putting the box and games into my car I noticed Missile Command was sealed!! I took a look at the others and realized they were all sealed!!! I found that to be amazing but then my mind thought, "is the system itself new as well?" The box looked like it had been opened but I realized the glue holding it together was just old and dried out! After opening the lid I saw the system still in its unopened packaging plastic, foam, and all. Also inside was all the manuals and a sealed copy of pacman that came with the system.
Have I struck gold?? I bought the Atari wanting to play it but I'd feel guilty potentially ruining this sealed piece of history! What's something like this worth to a collector?
The list of games is
Countermeasure
Missile command
Super breakout
Galaxian
Qix
Defender
Ballblazer
All sealed in there boxes
If you are a big collector and want to discuss this with me please contact me! I'm not sure if I want to sell it but I believe someone else would value this more than I would.
Thanks!
