Albert Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Winning Bid: $350 For the recent NWCGE Vancouver Show we produced a limited run of cartridges that were sold by NWCGE to help support the fight against breast cancer. Proceeds from sales of the cartridges went directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The cartridges were individually numbered with high quality labels, both on the label and in the binary itself. The binary is based on John K. Harvey's "Post It Note" cartridge, and contains a message thanking you for your support in the fight against breast cancer. A single cartridge remains, cartridge #1, and we are auctioning off this cartridge in our forum to the highest bidder. Proceeds from this auction will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Only 20 cartridges were made, and this will be your only opportunity to obtain one if you were not able to attend the NWCGE Vancouver Show. AtariAge will pay the cost of shipping for the cartridge inside and outside the US. To place your bid, please send me a private message with the amount of your bid. I will periodically post the amount of the highest bid. Bids will be accepted through 11:59pm on Thursday, October 12th. Bidding is now over! Thanks to everyone who bid!! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I actually came up with the idea for the cart. My wife had a breast cancer scare this last year, and I thought it would make a great collectors piece for a good cause. I shared my idea with Rick, and he took it from there. I am very pleased with the cart, and am happy to be part of its inception. My cart #3 is very special to me PS Lee did awsome artwork for the cart!

shadow460 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Very good cause. My mom died of cancer that had started as breast cancer. I'm glad to see continued support to fight the disease. It's come so far since she fought it in the mid 70's and early 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
