I got a Colecovision lot with a good number of games in it recently. Some were in pretty good shape considering their age but a good number of them had the usual label wear and tear that plagues games of this age. I came across Pboland's thread while doing a Google search and the labels looked quality enough so I figured I'd give them a shot. He got the labels to me in about a week, and I was so impressed with what I got. Where Atari and Coleco games use a matte photo paper, these are thick super glossy labels. The print quality is amazing, with the only noticeable differences being some color tones and the alignment of some text. Combat also isn't the text version label, but the picture type instead. This is all fine by me as it makes them hard to pass off as "genuine" while still looking extremely nice. Getting all these replaced also enabled me to open up the carts and clean the pins up, which some games needed badly. The labels are super sticky but are forgiving if you need to lift up a spot and readjust the label before permanently laying it down. Carnival is unfortunately dead so I am not bothering swapping the label on that for now, but the difference between old beat up label and new shiny label is night and day. If you're on the fence about getting these check out the pics I took to show just how sharp these are. I will definitely be ordering more labels from Pboland in the future, as I think you'll be hard pressed to find labels this clean with Atari and Coleco carts. Now if only we could solve the mystery on getting the Colecovision front decals repro'd that would be amazing lol.
