How "Rare" is a Gravitar Silver label?

[Cassidy Nolen]

Hi all,

 

I Know what the DPG says about it, but I don't often see it come up anywhere for sale. Are they tighter in the market to find than say Waterworld? I know they are not cheap, just wondering how often they change hands.

 

Thanks,

Cassidy

Good Question. I have seen Silver Gravitars on Ebay on occasion, but It's possible that people just lump many of them in with their regular game lots as just another Gravitar.

I have Gravitar still sealed in the original packaging. It's probably the red label one, but I don't want to open it. Does anyone know if the box was different also?

There are currently 4 sealed "red packaged" Gravitars on ebay right now. I put a bid in for a copy for $3.25. All bids are currently under the $5 mark, so I'm guessing that this game (at least the red package version) isn't as rare as you may think.

Of course, you could just go to www.oshealtd.com , and buy all the Gravitars you want for $2.

My red label copy came in a red box... I would assume a silver label version would come in a silver box.. anyone got one? (Did the Atari Video Club exclusives even come in boxes?)

atari video cube yes came in a box . there are at least box pic out there.

 

now i remember asking if silver carts were ever put in Red boxes. and my answer i gotr was no.silver only came in silver and red labeled carts only came in red

[Cassidy Nolen]

Yeah,

 

I have a red sealed one too. I am trying to fill in the missing two from the Atari Club six. I need a Waterworld and Gravitar. WW is just a matter of shelling out the moolah, but I really want it to have the poster, too. Thats why I was wondering how much extra I should plan to set aside for the silver label Grav.

Anybody have one they wanna trade for some rare Astrocade games?

[Chadivision]

I would trade you my Waterworld cart with the poster, but first I would have to track down the guy that my brother loaned all of our Atari stuff to in about 1990 (he hasn't returned it yet). I was a little irritated when I got back into Atari and found out what Waterworld was worth.

 

As for Gravitar, I think I'll just leave it sealed so that I can pretend MAYBE it is the silver label one. It just seems wrong to open games from their original shrink wrap. Even common ones.

[atari70s]

i need Waterworld and Gravitar. but inside info from a guy at my thrift shop says he has a BOXED one mint for . . . . u guessed it 1.00$ plus i get 20% off so once again .80 cents. he held it cause it was boxed and when he saw it was atari i got a phone call. so i think this week or next week i might mosey on down to there and go take a looky and bring a dollar bill with me

The silver label Gravitar comes in a nice silver box

Got a scan of it? I don't think I've ever seen it.

I'd also love a nice, high-quality scan of it for AtariAge.

Marco was kind enough to send me a nice scan of his Silver Gravitar box, and I've put it online for everyone to see. Thanks, Marco! Now all we need is a scan of the manual that came with it! When are you going to break that shrinkwrap?

Hey Marco,

 

Your silver box is a bit crushed at the bottom, if I was you I would look for a replacement copy

Absolutely!

 

Actually, I was talking to Albert about this. That darn shrinkwrap is slowly crushing the box. A shrinked boxed game is a nice collectable, but is it better than a non-shrinked and non-crushed boxed game?

 

Cheers,

Looks exactly like I expected...
