  1. I watched an R9 intellivision cart (body slam) go for 80 bucks yesterday. That was insane.
  2. I think the only reason I would ever own a heavy is for collectability. I would think a heavy, especially a Cali heavy, is hard to come by. I would you my light 4 switches. There tends to be a lot of them in the wild, so it's no big deal if I lose one. I keep two on staff at all times.

    Rarity?

    Rarity isn't as big of a deal for me as currently I am just trying to build a stock of games. More variety the better for me. In reality it is all about the experience as opposed to to collectability/net worth. Hell, I got a couple of E.T.'s. Widely acknowledged as the worst console game EVER, but still something of a good time due to age and pure crap factor. It's just kind of cool to know what something is, vs. variations, etc. I think I have a rarity 4 if i'm lucky.

    Rarity?

    Excellent. I look forward to playing some more of these games as soon as i'm done being addicted to Pitfall all over again.

    Rarity?

    First off let me say the forums here are amazing. The depth of knowledge carried here is second to none. Hence Why I signed up. Very recently I decided to start into the hobby of collecting vintage Atari games and systems. I started off with a modest purchase that included 2- cx2600A's, 4 joysticks, 4 pong paddles, all required RCA's and power cables, and 91 carts. Many are duplicates, some with subtle differences, (i.e. text vs. pic etc.) I was using the rarity guide as a benchmark for my purchases to see what I got and what common/uncommon/rare is going to do as far as my ability to get more carts. I have a cart here in front of me, titled Blueprint. It is a white case with yellow writing on it and was liscensed by CBS Electronics. It did not show up in the rarity guide. I noticed that several people in the forum have seen/heard of said title and was curious as to its rarity and so on. I don't plan on Ebay'ing it in any event, since I bought these all for me. I also have a Dig Dug cart, that was listed as a #2 common, I believe. Once difference between mine and the one listed, ( it is a silver label) the one listed in the rarity guide has a publish date of 1987. Mine hasa publish date of 1983. These were not listed on the guide at all, so I am curious to that one as well. There are other questions I have as there are probably 50-60 carts I have yet to go through, but I will leave it to these two for now. Thanks to anyone that can shed light on the situation.
