TVisitor Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Hi Guys! I'm pretty new around here (lurked for a while, not many posts) ... Nice to meet all of you :-) I was an Atari 2600 kid back in the 70's, and still love the system today (both on the real McCoy & emulation). While digging through some old stuff, I found an envelope from CommaVid - it's an order form for Video Life & an advertisement flyer and such. I doubt these are worth anything beyond a curiosity & nostalgia - anyone think it's worth a scan to throw up online somewhere? Cheers.

atari181 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Fill it out and order it. It's worth the chance you'll get a 2600 gem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hopefully this can answer your question: http://www.atariage.com/company_page.html?CompanyID=22&SystemID=2600&SystemFilterID=2600 Commavid games are rare. I only have the most common ones, which are like R6 or something. If I had something like that myself, I'd keep that order form blank and not send it in!

TVisitor Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Oh yes, I know the games are rare! I remember as a kid reading "Electronic Fun With Computers And Games" and seeing the ad for the "Magic Cart" which is what prompted me to send for more info. I can kick myself up/down/left/right for not begging my parents to order me this thing, considering what it's worth. I'm pretty sure if I filled it out now, I'd get a return to sender Though I was wondering if the actual flyer they sent me could be worth something beyond the paper it's printed on... I can scan it if anyone wants to see it for nostalgia purposes. These things are always fun to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizophretard Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I would like to see the scan. I would say it is worth more than the paper it is printed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dino Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Interesting! Those are the same docs I have only mine also come with the original envelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVisitor Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Yep, that's what mine are - the letter and such. I don't seem to have the 2 glossy looking black flyers though. Mine is in the original envelope that they sent it to me in back in the 80's. I really don't have intention of getting rid of them, but apparently there was a comment in the prior mentioned rarities thread that said some collectors really treat them like gems even though they're "just paper"... are they actually worth something?

+bfstats Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 ...they're "just paper"... are they actually worth something? Only to someone who's willing to pay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
