very nice site but it lacks most of rarity marks and there are no "side labels" for carts. Also, manuals are not fully scanned there...

 

Either way, what should I do if I discover I have some carts not listed on AtariAge and AtariMania too?

Scan them at 200 DPI.

 

Cart scans between 400 and 500 pixels width.

Box scans between 600 and 700 pixels width.
