Hope this answers your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in their right mind would expect the shipping carton to count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the people at the post quite well, if you REALLY want a box with shipping dates that corispond with the time frame of the original cart sales period it could be done quite easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincYnoTi Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hmm. Too bad I threw away the padded envelope that Kevtris was shipped in. Now I'm going to have to keep that priority mail box that the 7800 high score cartridge came in...anyone want to buy that box, I'll sell it for $$$$$ How much is the piece of candy worth that was shipped with the Christmas cart? I have bunches of duplicates if anyone made the mistake of eating their piece of pack-in candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Some people like their Atari joysticks to come with a little plate on top. Some say it doesn't matter if a dead game is revived with a new EPROM. Others think their collection isn't complete untill they gathered the gazillion box variations of Space Invaders. Do you consider a North-American Bomb game complete while it has a "P" sticker on the box? Are the two final Starpath releases completer when they come with the little baggie? Does a PAL Mangia' box make a US collection as complete as the NTSC-sticker box? Would Atlantis II without all the paperwork be as nice an asset to a collection as a cart only? And that strange box for Color Bar Generator: can we call that a real box, or should we consider it a shipping carton, so we can just forget about it? Would a never-delivered Eli's Ladder package found in a closet of an old postoffice be completer than a set that was put together piece by piece over the years? Where to draw the line? No idea. Why not consider the styrofoam of the Tooth Protectors set part of the shipping box, so you don't have to collect that either? There's a famous Brazilian seller using styrofoam to ship stuff in today I just think that history matters, a lot. The more pieces of history that come with a collection piece, the completer it is. At least, to me. And yes, I'd just love to have a CtCW with a "Return to Sender - Address Unknown" written on the shipping carton.

CPUWIZ Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 This will and has gone on for years and years, to some people arguing about this stuff is half the fun. And yes, BOMB boxes as well as the Mangia' box, do not count. They were all made in Thailand or some shit anyway. But no way is a frigging unmarked box part of the collection. Sure, it's fun to have the shipping box for the Starpath demo unit, but it sure as hell isn't required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 i think the thing that is throwing anyone off here is the word "shipping" because it was NEVER used as a shipping box. i have had 3 of them over the years (all 3 even SEALED never opened till i opened each one. ) and not one has any stamps or shipping label on it. but, just keep telling yourself, IT"S JUST A NORMAL BOX!!!

CincYnoTi Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There is much humor to find in here, if we are only willing to laugh at ourselves . I'm sure anyone outside AA would find plenty of things to laugh about if pointed to this discussion... Some people like their Atari joysticks to come with a little plate on top. I only like it if the original release thick plate. The thin one is a cheap ($1) imitation!!! Don't be fooled by counterfeits Some say it doesn't matter if a dead game is revived with a new EPROM. Yes, can someone please fix my NTSC Bomb and Mangia games? They keep rolling when I play them. Ahh, thank you, now they are worth much much more and nobody will know the difference. Others think their collection isn't complete untill they gathered the gazillion box variations of Space Invaders. Boy, I only have less than a billion. I better keep searching for more . Do you consider a North-American Bomb game complete while it has a "P" sticker on the box? Most only consider it complete after the "P" sticker has been removed. Are the two final Starpath releases completer when they come with the little baggie? Well, duh! Does a PAL Mangia' box make a US collection as complete as the NTSC-sticker box? Only if you can find someone willing to offer big bucks for it and doesn't know any better. Would Atlantis II without all the paperwork be as nice an asset to a collection as a cart only? Neither is complete without the ZPM. And that strange box for Color Bar Generator: can we call that a real box, or should we consider it a shipping carton, so we can just forget about it? Would a never-delivered Eli's Ladder package found in a closet of an old postoffice be completer than a set that was put together piece by piece over the years? Only if it is found by someone named NotALie, i mean Natalie. Where to draw the line? No idea. In the sand, of course. Why not consider the styrofoam of the Tooth Protectors set part of the shipping box, so you don't have to collect that either? There's a famous Brazilian seller using styrofoam to ship stuff in today What about the styrofoam packing peanuts that Sunmark Magicards are shipped with. Should I keep those, or sell them separately? I just think that history matters, a lot. The more pieces of history that come with a collection piece, the completer it is. At least, to me. And yes, I'd just love to have a CtCW with a "Return to Sender - Address Unknown" written on the shipping carton. Cheers, Marco Hmmm, I have a shipping carton with some writing on it. I will sell it to the first person to send me a cashiers check for $1000. OK, maybe I'll settle for $500. If I listed it on ebay, I bet at least two people would bid higher than that. Any takers? And yes, Marco, you would definitely be interested in the history behind this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the 5th ghost Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I have an empty shipping carton that originally contained six Bank Heist games. Does that make my Bank Heist more complete than everyone elses, or do I need the other 5? What's it worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 As long as we are ruling out things, I would like to rule out all rarity 10's and 9's so that I may be able to someday say my collection is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orrimarrko Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 And yes, BOMB boxes as well as the Mangia' box, do not count. They were all made in Thailand or some shit anyway. Just a noob question here, but since I'd like to know for some future day (down the road)... Does this mean that the overwhelming majority of Bomb boxes are found with a little "P" sticker on them? Meaning, of course, that's the only difference between a PAL box and an NTSC box? Aren't all of the Bomb boxes just the same with two windows to see the manual inside? And with the Mangia' box, is the only difference between the PAL and NTSC boxes a sticker as well? By the way, does anyone have pics of these boxes (with/without stickers?) Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Aren't all of the Bomb boxes just the same with two windows to see the manual inside? I will answer this one for you with no, there is also a white (not silver) kind of BOMB box (a true European box), that has never been found in NTSC land. Most silver BOMB boxes that I have seen, don't have any sticker on them at all, it's always on the cart. I do have one box however, that has the same "Q.C. passed P" sticker on the box itself, but it's a box I purposely bought from Marco, to replace a ripped up box I had. He probably put the "P" sticker on the box. Now back to the shipping containers, where is your Mythicon collection now, bitch? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
