    How many known sealed Qubes are out there?

     

    That's the only reason I feel that my asking price is perfectly justified. Finding the loose cart isn't difficult thanks to eBay, but it's still very difficult to find a nice boxed copy.

     

    I was never on board with the whole grading thing, I scoffed at the idea of people grading Star Wars toys 20 years ago. But, I see the trend where graded items do sell for far more than a similar ungraded item. I think at least, it helps put to rest any concerns a buyer may have as to the authenticity of the item for sale.

    Lol!!

     

    THAT will NEVER happen!!!

     

    Hey, at least I can say that I had it. It was a fun collection to put together. The box # variants were quite a challenge! I just hope that it's kept intact for the most part, and have no doubt it is in good hands! Still waiting to hear about the museum!

    I know you from reading long past thread seasons.

     

    I hope you can come back and stick with us.

    Hi! Yes! I was a part of the first HSC. Back then, we had these cool Activision style patches that were awarded to that week's winner. I still have the patches that were sent to me back then. They were (are) very cool!

     

    I'd love to join in with you all, but at the moment, I have no working Atari. Nor do I have the collection that I had back then.

     

    As I write this, my two teenage sons are listening to "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" while eating dinner. That gives you an idea where my life is at the moment!

    I'm doing fine keilbaca! That'd be great to hook up for a game night or something.

     

    @Pioneer4x4....I actually deliver mail in Rillton from time to time. I'm a carrier for the post office and i usually work in Elizabeth, but occasionally I do the route in Sutersville which includes Rillton. Small world!

    Supergun, congrats on the picture label Superman!

     

    I had every picture label except for that one when i had my collection. At one point I had every game boxed, (including the number variants boxed,) and I also had several of the accessories and "pong" units CIB.

     

    Here's a link showing my collection before i sold it....enjoy:

    I don't see the letter regarding the t-shirt and snorkeling set :P

     

    Great set though, I miss the set I used to have. My letters were different only in the fact that the letterhead was blue, and not embossed like yours. Of course, those can be viewed here in the AA archives. Plus, I used to have two sets of the 2 page letter. The only difference between the two being the deadline date for submitting your score. That date probably depended on when Imagic sent you your Atlantis II cart.

     

    I wonder why your letters have an embossed letterhead?

     

    I'm assuming the mailing that comes with the envelope was obtained by contacting Imagic through the "Defend Atlantis" contest flyer. Pretty interesting to see though.

     

    And I never agreed that the Atlantis II box wasn't special. Being a former owner of one, I can attest first hand that I knew I had something very special. That white sticker meant you had something extremely rare! To this day very few are lucky enough to own one.

     

    Good luck with your sale Homer, but if you don't sell it, continue to cherish it.

    History is a thing of the past. :P

     

     

     

     

    But seriously...

     

    My take on the discussion is this: I'm sure most of those collectors paying insane prices for obscure, sub-par Atari games are doing so in order to help preserve the OVERALL HISTORY of the Atari. In other words, even the crappiest games have some sort of historical significance. Without them, they'd be lost forever, and a part of Atari's history along with them.

     

    We've learned to cherish these oddities.

    Anytime I needed to connect my Atari to a VCR, I just connect the Atari to the "cable IN" on the back of the VCR using either the RF switch box with coax adapter, or using those newer RF/coax adaptors (which is great if your original switchbox is missing or faulty.)

     

    Then simply connect the "cable OUT" on the back of the VCR to the cable input on the back of your TV. Simple as that!
