    Almost all of them fell off the controllers and the majority of them were thrown away. Don’t fret not finding any, one day when you’re not expecting it will happen. I think Bill has 2 Atari and 1 Sears. If you have boxed games go through each manual , look at your consoles, controllers front and back. Keep looking I’m sure you’ll strike Atari gold.

    When I was first collecting, I remember finding a couple of these in the bottom of the box from a lot I purchased off Ebay. I also remember throwing them away because I didn't know what they were. 😱😱

    Manufactured in Taiwan and sold in Zellers Department stores in Canada.

    "being from" does not mean where an item is manufactured to me.  The games are obviously manufactured with the same art as Taiwan games, however, many items as manufactured overseas and seen as from a different company.

    I have contemplated stopping many times.  Every time I have thought it was time to stop I have taken an extended break(up to a year).   Each and every time I have been bitten again by the collecting bug.  I guess I will just "know" when it is time. Finding a rare cart has always been a rush to me. I don't see it ending anytime soon.

    How much you want to bet that this is a scheme by Paypal to make money? Pay someone to make a bunch of fake orders, have them ask for a refund and then rake in the money. 

    LOL, ok.  I would take that bet

    Had a weird rash of people buying, paying for it, and then asking for a refund. Which sucks because PayPal doesn't refund fees. One of them was on an $800 purchase, so I had to eat like $30 to make the refund. 

    I have always received a refund of fees from Paypal when I have had to give refunds.

    If I’m not mistaken I believe a nib surround just sold on eBay I missed that one. It sucks because that hangman you may only get one crack at it

    Damn, I just looked it up.  I missed it.  I would have bid more than that.  

    Life always gets in the way of collecting. lol

    You have them all except hangman correct? That blackjack sat on my shelf for about 3 weeks before I realized it. Must of picked it up a long time ago in a lots so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it lol.

    I am missing Surround and Hangman.  I have only seen one Hangman and it was in an auction where you could only see the sides of the boxes.  It was years ago and I could only bid a couple hundred bucks.  Another AA member, Dino, won the auction.  Still haunts me to this day.

    Congrats!   This is certainly one of the harder to find variations for the 2600.  It really doesn’t come up for auction hardly ever so it’s difficult to estimate what one might be worth.  It doesn’t seem like there are many of these around.  

    There is not many around. With today's crazy prices, I can't see it selling for less than 1K.  Someone willing to wait may get 2K
