big brag...and a big tease

[orangest]

went to game dude here in l.a. for the first time in a while to sell some stuff today. they have a flat $3.00 price for their "classic" games, which is fair enough for most of what they have, and especially fair for what i ended up getting: a silver label gravitar.

 

and on the bottom of one of the boxes of 2600 games, i saw the loose end label for...crazy climber. tragically, that one wasn't to be found. those two for $6 plus tax wouldn't have been too shabby, though i'm not complaining about what i have...

 

also, i found a label variation that i could not find in the database here. it's a 1986 atari picture label re-release of blackjack, with the box art as the label. it's also spelled out as "black jack" in yellow capital-letter text.

 

so if anyone finds a end label-less cc at game dude, if you could send it to me, that would be swell. they wouldn't let me keep the end label, though i did end up getting the instructions for colecovision antarctic adventure for free...

$3.00 for a silver Gravitar is a great find !!

That sucks, I check with them regularly and they never really have stuff. They must've gotten that recently.

In all seriousness, I'm actually taken aback more by the "Blackjack" than I am by the "Gravitar"! How sweet is that, finding a label that you didn't previously know even existed. I'm totally jealous!

[dykesr]

DUDE seriously that is mad, yo. i can't believ you found something like that for so cheap i wish i was in your shoes.

Did you grab the Crazy Climber end label?? I've seen this game twice sell on ebay for cheap due to missing end labels..

Hmm like It seems like you bandwidth has exceeded could you post it from your

PC directly to AA in JPG. format? Id like to see this for myself!

[orangest]

hope this works...and unfortunately they wouldn't let me keep the crazy climber end label...

[orangest]

ok...here we go...

Nice!

 

That Black Jack cart would look cool by the side of the Casino cart!

 

And yet ANOTHER label variation!

How many more will turn up?...

 

BTW nice find that silver Gravitar cart rocks!

And well done on finding that Black Jack variation!

[Saikyo]

PS why is the end label of Gravitar black? should it not be silver like the rest? (are the rest silver? i think they are!)

 

Maybe a mix cart like so many that have been found!

[dykesr]

ya go back and get that endlabel man, nothing a little glue couldn't fix!!

 

Hey i will trade you a text label black jack for that one you have!!!

 

RD

[dykesr]

The endlabel for the gravitar in the guides has a black label hope this helps.

I think all silver labels had black ends, no?

At least, my ET and Centipede do...

Ahh yes... Also known as the one major label variation I'm still missing. This one has driven me nuts for some time as I keep missing it when it comes up on ebay. As far as label variations go it's pretty hard to find. Nice score.
