Miner 2049er upside down end label?

[Kulp]

so just the other day I purchased a copy of Miner 2049er at this awesome video game store.

My friend also purchased one (they had like 3 there).

 

When we got back to my friend's house I noticed when I put the game into the 2600 to test it out that the end label was upside down so that the wording is facing away from you.

I checked my friend's copy and his end label was placed on correctly.

 

So, do I have some super rare variation of this game, or does this not affect the rarity at all?

 

Does anyone else have this version of Miner 2049er, or have you had a similar experience with any other Atari game?

 

 

 

edit: I tried attaching the picture, but I guess it didn't work.

 

this will have to do I guess...

hi there, im no expert but im guess one of two things, either the label fell off at some point and was reattached upside down, or it was placed on upside down from the factory. I have had alot of loose carts here both past and present and i have seen over a dozen upside down end labels on various games. I have 2 or 3 here now in my extra pile. So i doubt its worth any more, perhaps even less or the same at best. But like i said im not 100% sure on this so we'll see if someone can correct me. Nice find by the way, my game stores never have much in the way of atari stuff anymore.

Not at all. It means the wage slave who was pasting them on was hungover that day.

thanks for the reply.

I'm hoping/guessing it was factory done. the label shows no signs of being tampered with. there are no globs of glue or tape or anything... so either it was re-attached very well, or as I'm guessing is probable, it was done in-factory.

 

I hope it wouldn't lower its value... that just wouldn't make much sense to me...

It doesn't lower it. It just doesn't increase it, either.
