My first "Rarity: 8" cartridge!

On another gaming board I frequent, I'm probably the only person actively interested in anything pre-NES. So whenever someone has some old Atari games to unload, I'm usually the one they unload them upon :)Recently a guy said he found 40 or so cartridges in his basement, as well as a 2600 and a few joysticks. We worked out a deal, and I ended up getting the whole deal for $80 plus shipping. I received the package yesterday, and the first thing I noticed was how nice all the carts were... they were all in excellent condition. The Activision carts had virtually no "plaque", all of the labels were secure and clean, no grime anywhere - they looked like they had been pampered from day one.But even more exciting was the handful of 4 and 5 carts... the "Pole Posit'n" label, Donkey Kong Jr., Mr. Do., etc. But the coup de gracie was the pristine Mr. Do!'s Castle cartridge. I knew it wasn't common, but looking it up on the rarity guide, turns out it's an 8. I'd say that made the bundle worth it right there. I looked it up on ebay, and it's not quite going for the fortune I expected it to command :) There are quite a few games that are rare that aren't exactly well known or highly sought after, and apparently this is one of them. No matter - I just like the fact that I have an "8" now :)
