Pixelboy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have a Q*bert CV cart with a silver label here (which normally indicates an Atari 2600 cart) which works perfectly on my CV console. How rare (or common) are such Parker Bros carts with incorrect label colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Not that rare but I would say pretty uncommon Cart itself worth about $10-$15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 The Silver Label CV Q*bert cart is very rare from my experiences. I have only seen about 4 of them since I got back into the CV scene, one of which I own. This cart is another case of rarity does not equate to value and agree with Retroillucid that the value is in the $10-$15 range whereas a loose gold label cart is probably $1.50-$3.00.

Atari_Bill Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I actually forgot about it, but I have one of these. I asked the same question maybe a year or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennybingo Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 So when do you start telling them? I guess that answer all depends on when you decide to go out and get yourself a sense of humor.... Maybe someone has one for sale in the marketplace. PS: try to find a CIB sense of humor, this way you will have the instruction manual.

slab0meat Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm sorry, did you add something, other than a supposed joke? Do you often reply to people whose opinion you supposedly care nothing about? Please, carry on with your jokes, which are both helpful and hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they can't be too in demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah or people was simply not aware it was a variant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoDan Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah or people was simply not aware it was a variant Most likely it is the fact that yes it is a rare varient but just because it is rare does not make it in demand. Most of the label varients are not something that a lot of people are interested in so there is no way to have a bidding war or increase prices because everyone else doesn't care that it is a label varient.

Didn't I already say that in Post #04 ??? BTW Dan, seeing as this topic is bordered on getting overly heated, I HAVE removed my gloves and am ready for whatever you got coming back my way!
