Thank you!  Good advice.  I would never go the gift payment route.   I was probably just going to eat that 3%.  We’ll see. I know there is at least one good show in Cleveland.  That’s only about 2.5 hours for me so I’m going to try to make that.  If I did, I would probably take some of the larger items that wouldn’t ship as easy.  I’ve always wanted to hit the Midwest classic.  Maybe now that I’m retired, that might happen...

Yes! CCAG,  The last I looked we had a few tables left.  It is a great time as well.

Age is making me think long and hard about it.  Not touching my primary collection yet, but the thought has crossed my mind.   Especially after picking up a great retro pie emulator that I have used more than any of the countless physical copies on my shelves.  

When you're ready to purge that Picture label, Sears Superman, you let me know.😆

The seller is a member of some of the Facebook groups dedicated to retrogaming(AA included)  His Name is J. W Robertson III.  I would be wary of any transactions with him outside of Ebay.

The ampersand is a red flag.

 

These labels are nice, but veteran 2600 enthusiasts instantly recognize them as fake as shit. Subtle differences give them away--they're too glossy; the text alignment is slightly off and the color is oversaturated on the Defender; title text on Space Invaders should be orange, not red; and by the time Atari switched to picture labels, Hunt & Score had already been renamed Game of Concentration for at least a year.

Not sure this dick needs a list of things to change next time.

I would also like to add I am pretty positive that this is the seller that used to sell Activision 2600 carts with brand new labels. 

After talking with another member here, yes, he was selling Activision games with perfect labels.   Amazing that he has 100% feedback.  Ebay makes it so hard to give neg feedback.

Not unless other people buy the lots and do the same thing as you... it could get expensive for him returning every single lot to and from the buyer on his expense! 😁🙄

I hope so, but, unfortunately, Brian, you as well as I know, not everyone is as keen as you and I.  I would guess that at least half the people would throw it in the collection without a thought.

After I responded to his offer of a $2.60 refund I called his Bullshit and told him he needed to take a full return.  He immediately approved the return.

 

He obviously knows and is faking labels. Unfortunately, I have to wait 7 days to leave negative feedback, which means some unsuspecting bidders will be bidding on the second lot.

[Fake Picture Label Hunt and Score]

just got a reply from the seller and was told he would refund me $2.60

[Fake Picture Label Hunt and Score]

So I thought i might have an un-documented gem in ths lot

I recieved the games today and 3 of them are obvious reproduction labels, Hunt and score being the worst.  

The seller said he purchased these in an estate sale.  I did notice that he immeadiately listed another lot with another hut and score in it as well.

I will updates some pictures from my phone in a bit.  I thought I recognized the Ebay name and I think he is an "Atari" guy who is trying to pull one over on people.

I contacted Ebay and asked for a refund/return.
