Value of CV cartridge?

[nanochess]

Hi everybody.

 

I've seen a lot with a loose Victory cartridge with "for colecovision" only label, what value would it have? The guy is asking a very high price, so better to ask here.

 

Thanks in advance

Victory "Coleco Vision Presents" only label is one of the rarest ( if not THE rarest) of all CV cart variants

Very tough to come by!

Thanks retroillucid.

 

Any idea of a reasonable price? The remaining of the lot is of little interest for me.

It's kind of though to put a value for these type of variants

 

But let's say I know some collectors that would pay $100+ for this variant

 

My guess is something around $150

A recent eBay auction for a CIB Victory with the "Coleco Vision Presents" label variation and a couple other CIBs (Illusions, etc.) and a Star Trek box went for $177 a couple weeks ago. I knew I should have bid higher than I did, but knowing now who won it, any further effort on my part would have been fruitless. The way that I broke that auction down as far as flipping the other items, the Victory CIB with rare label variation came in at about $110-$120.

 

Man, I wish you guys would stop talking about this label variation so that I could finally acquire one at a decent price!

[retroillucid]

Victory (For ColecoVision Presents) label is one of the last variants I got actually , and own about 50 different variants

 

I looked for about 5 years for this variant until I stumble across one, last year on ebay

I paid about $5 for it, simply because most people don't know how this variant is rare

So, May I suggest, be patient and you might find one for real cheap

 

Jim, the last ebay auction you saw as indeed this cart variant, however the box was for ColecoVision & ADAM

 

The only place I saw a For ColecoVision only box of Victory is on the POP Display

If I remember it corectly, there were no mention for the Roller Controller on the box

 

Makes me wonder if this box does exist?

Am I understanding this correctly - The label that says:

 

Coleco

Vision

presents

Victory

I'll have to post a pic because I have that and I could care less on the label variant so Niad, if you're interested...

Thumbs up to you!

Well, I am willing to let the two battle for it in a classic Star Trek style knife fight - cue the music

Indeed, I am one and the same! Although I am a Gemini... so I do have an astrological twin who BTW, I will knife to kingdom come in order to secure this cartridge variant seeing as I have been looking for it for almost two years. I actually thought that this "Victory - Coleco Vision Presents" labeled cart would be easier to find and the "Venture - For ColecoVision & ADAM" labeled cart would be the one I struggled to acquire seeing as it just became known to exist last year, but then in the last six months a number of them showed up on eBay.

 

I deeply appreciate your offer to part with the Victory cart and a PM will be on it's way. Just to make sure, this is the one you have:

You got a good eye and memory, Retroillucid. I know I looked at those POP Kiosk pics numerous times and always wondered about that pictured Victory and Turbo box on the bottom doors. The pictured Skiing box was just the biggest tease, wasn't it?

 

I not exactly sure, but I think Victory was an in-house programmed game that may have originally been planned for use with the standard hand controller seeing as the "CV Presents" label does not state "For use with Roller Controller" like the "For CV & ADAM" label does. Also, the pictured box from the POP Kiosk does not have the Roller Controller pictured on it which makes sense since the Roller Controller was still in-development and not released until late in 1983 with Slither (which was programmed by Nuvatek).

 

All this investigating is sometimes even more fun than playing the games... almost!

The Head to Head Football box look funky too

According to Digitpress there are 2 versions of Victory. The CBS Victory has the quarks, paratroopers, and scouts that are missing from the US version. Is this true or just a myth?

I have heard that the CBS version (supplied in the CBS cart shell with CBS label) has these extras although I don't have this cart to compare.

[playazclub]

Well, here it is. Victory rare label - let me know if this is correct - That would be awesome if it is.

I suppose that you talk about a CIB. This is a loose cartridge.

Thank you again, retroillucid.

Now I'll negotiate with the guy.

I'm pretty sure you'll get one just a matter of patience and luck.

[retroillucid]

Nope, this is for a cartridge only

 

A Victory "FOR COLECOVISION ONLY" Box, doesn't seem to exist

 

[playazclub]

Sold! NIAD's quest for the ever elusive Victory alt label is over.

[NIAD]

Waiting for the mailman all day today and all I could think of was....

 

 

:P

[NIAD]

The quest is over as the CV Presents label variant of Victory arrived today! Thanks playazclub for helping me check off another much wanted CV item from my list. BTW, great packaging job... I'm still trying to extract the cart from all the bubblewrap... I think my wife's two C-sections went faster.
