Still Missing These R2s

[phitter]

Not counting the last two years or so, I have been a pretty active 2600 hunter/collector since the late 1990s and I hung on to all the carts I had as a kid.

 

I have probably had well over a thousand carts go through my hands in all this time, often buying lots and selling off the duplicates. I am currently at 452 different carts (366 unique titles and another 86 major label variations) yet I have never, ever run across these alleged R2s:

 

1. Asteroids / Sears / Picture

2. Basketball / Sears / Text - 49-75113

3. Canyon Bomber / Sears / Text - 49-75115

4. Canyon Bomber / Sears / Text - 6-99828

5. Hangman / Atari / Text

6. Maze Mania / Sears / Text

7. Video Checkers / Atari / Picture

8. Warlords / Sears / Picture

 

Are these really R2s or is it just a coincidence that I have never crossed paths with these titles?

#1 is definitely not R2. It's more like R7.

These are the "hard" R2's. I personally think many Sears need to be bumped up. I agree that Asteroids is more like an R7.

There are some pic label Video Checkers on Ebay right now. I just snagged a 1987 for $4 (including shipping). I had been waiting for the 1987 for a long time.

Yeah, I think we're all in agreement that Sears pic Asteroids is not an R2. I'd probably bump the Sears Canyon Bombers up to R3, too.
