EDIT: I have indefinitely postponed the Atari 2600 project.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my latest trading card series. After the Atari 7800 and the Intellivision now it’s time for the Atari 2600. The first series with 50 cards features the original Atari releases from 3-D Tic Tac Toe to Gremlins. The front side of a card shows the original release box art, on the back there are facts about the game as well as a screenshot, label front side and the front of the manual.

On the pictures you can see the test prints (yet with some wrong data that has been already corrected) and the cards have really turned out fine.

A set costs EURO 40 (about US$ 50) including shipping airmail letter (robust box/uninsured/no tracking/shipping time 5 to 10 days). For shipping as regular airmail parcel (robust box/insurance/tracking/shipping time 14 to 28 days, up to 5kg) you will have to add another EURO 35 (yep, shipping a parcel to North America is that expensive).

Since I have to pay the printer in advance I have to charge the amount up-front, so if you are interested in a set just drop me a PM with your Paypal address.

Some additional info:

• A set consists of 50 cards plus 1 index card, 2 promo cards and 1 INTV card
• The next set will be available in February
• The cards are printed professionally
• The box size is 13cm x 10cm x 2cm (slip lid box style)
• The front art of the cards depends on the first release of the game. If a game was first released in a silver box for example, and later also released in a red box, the silver artwork is shown, the red box will be just mentioned on the back of the card
• It's not a limited run, but after the first run the price will be higher (from EURO 40 to EURO 45) due to the lower production numbers
• Combined shipping letter airmail: It's possible for up to 3 sets, the first set costs EURO 40, the other two costs EURO 37 each
• Combined shipping airmail parcel: It's possible for up to 15 sets, the first set costs EURO 40, the additional copies cost EURO 37 each
• Shipping date: Production takes about 1 week, so the shipping will be one week after I've collected the money
• Pre-order is open until 09.01.2014 CET 4PM. On the following Sunday night I am going to order the first batch of this series. If there is enough interest after this first run I will order another batch. Due to lower production numbers the price will rise quite a bit
• If you don't want to be listed public please drop me a line and I'll remove the name
• Contact outside AtariAge: If you are interested in a set but not registered here at AtariAge you can drop me a line at: order@retrogamesshop.com

Marc.
