I FOUND an age old item in basement!

[MrAtari2600]

I was cleaning out my basement my mother was pitching things, and i came across a rug.

Im like NO waittt, I looked at it, it was my pacman rug from years back,

Ill post some pics later its so cool!

Its a rug with a pacman on it and such

i can locate one on google probably,

Just curious are these rare now?

unfortunatly it has a bit of wear and tear from over the years,

But nothing a glass frame and a big empty wall can't fix!

I'd love to find something like that years later. Every so often my dad and I clean out abandoned homes. I'm always hoping to find a game treasure. So far no luck on any treasure.

I have seen several of those over the last few years on ebay and flea markets and they were allways only HALF of that rug, as if they were cut right down the center. It looks to me like you got 2 rugs there that were never cut, or yours is original and the others i have seen were cut in half to make 2 rugs....Any thoughts...

[MrAtari2600]

I want to frame it!

My mother said no she said im not paying hundreds to frame a carpet worth jack.

>.>

XD

Im going to though!

And Ill hang it up on my wall beside my game collection when i move to basement!

Once i discoverd another 10 TVs for sale ( between 20-30")

im setting up game heaven in my basement, over 12 tvs,

Each own game system, ( hope to get dupes that are junk for use and keep nice ones for display)

I need a glass display cabinet for my gameboy games and gameboy systems ( i have 7 gameboys now)

And *goes on rant*

Then everyone from AA come to my place and play atari and such :]

[MFoolsRun]

Doesn't matter what it's worth, it's awesome!

 

I have a Gamecube doormat that's probably not worth squat, but I use it for my back door!

 

What matters is what it's worth to you.

Awesome Rug

[Dauber]

OMG...when my parents were packing up to move last summer, my mother found that exact same rug that I had in my room as a tyke....I hope she kept it...

[blastermaster]

framing would be awesome. great find!

[MrAtari2600]

yea it means a lot to me

but everything i own does,

I sold off 90% of my childhood toys

for Games for atari NES and such

so

 

Videogames are basically what i own xD

Based on total duplication of everything including the copyright and trademark legal fine print, IMO this is an uncut pair of rugs. They may or may not be very rare in this configuration -- it's possible they were sold at retail just like this as a larger rug (rather than going to the expense of making the artwork larger). And even if they are rare like this, they may not be worth much.

i agree, it does seem to be two rugs that are uncut, because the copyright thing in the lower left vorner of the rug.

 

Anyways, it is an awesome find, too bad something like that wouldn't happen for me....

[bones]

I'd put that in my front room in a heart beat, great rug.

[MrAtari2600]

there is no seam on the backend of this so you know,

between the two, SO it HASN"T been cut from my knowledge
