    The baseball chips are unopened, for some odd reason the treasure cards in invasion are wrapped in a purple dolphin sillyband if you’re into that, it came with that little extra surprise and i don’t mess with things I don’t understand... lol. And I can count out the 300 army pieces of you really really want me to but I really really don’t want too 😂 so let me know!

    Thanks. If you don’t end up selling it all to one let me know.  I’m sure the new buyer wouldn’t be interested in selling off handball on its own.

    Absolute works of art.  Too bad the cartridges are not as precise.  The Parker Brother's cartridges have imperfections which make applying the labels frustrating.  They look awesome, and I even have a great label for my custom TI cartridge.

     

    I had some really great advise on replacing the labels versus value.  With that help I concluded that anything rare or beyond probably should not have a repro label if trying to retain value for collecting purposes, but that for my own purposes, to display, play, and keep, not only would it make my personal collection look better, but anyone collecting for value will be happy to know I just knocked some carts out of the market.  I am not disappointed with the results and will be getting some more.

    Do they have a notation of reproduction on them?   If not, wouldn’t anyone be able to get hard to find label variations where the game code doesn’t change and simply replace the label and rake in the $$$.  All the while destroying the collectors market.

    It exists. I own it. e155f8fffa7c78f203e616329bd0f865.jpg

     

    I bought mine from @Chris Leach a little over two years ago.

    Thanks for the confirmation.  I knew it had to exist, but it seems very difficult to find.  Anyone have one to unload?

    I’ve been looking for a while and have not found a particular dual cart combo that I think exists. Does anyone have Chuck Norris/Spikes Peak combo for the 2600?  I’m pretty sure it exists as I saw it shown in one of the guide books.

    Thank you all! Very fun to share this here! :)

     

    I am curious how close some other collectors are? Would love for those getting close to post how many they have and what they miss if they want.

    I know of 1 other collector who has every cart but is missing 1 box still.

    Not me.  I’m missing the 4 big ones as well as extended BASIC. So essentially I’ve likely gone as far as I can go.

    Nice to finally know what the game was.  Guess I regret not getting in now as this is one Ive always wanted.  My decision though and nothing I can do about it now.  Still, not cool selling on eBay when it’s understood that was a no no.

    Just to throw it out there, if anyone wanted to get rid of their copy and if it’s ok by the club rules, I would be interested.

    Another interesting recent pickup.  I had never seen Atari cart holders like this before.  I picked them up because of that and because I loved the huge Atari logo on the front. Doing a little searching in the group afterwards, the only other one I found was owned by CPUWiz. Anyone else have these in their collections?

    Yes, there's usually a pattern to his listings, though the seller seems to have skipped one or two cycles in the usual routine.

     

    There has been repetition / re-listings of certain items that might raise eyebrows (went high with a questionable bid history, then reappeared a month or so later), which may or may not have been discussed elsewhere here in the past.

     

    But when this seller lists, it is usually a flood.

    Many questionable bids if you follow him long enough.  Not a collector, just a run a the mill reseller in the same vein as schoolgirl or happiestsellerever.
