UpsideDown Ca Games Label

[Atari Smeghead]

Hi y'all!

 

I was scanning thru eBay, and an auction picture caught my eye:

Notice anything odd about the California Games cart? It's not me, right? The label is on upsidedown.

 

Have any of you ever seen an upsidedown label on a Lynx cart before?

I can't recall having seen one, myself.

 

Cheers,

Smeg

(PS - this isn't my auction... I just saw the cart and it caught my eye.)

Interesting find.

 

Never seen before.

Okay, I guess I found this more interesting than most of you Lynx fans. I had just never seen an upsidedown Lynx label before. If I had more disposable cash, I would have bought the cart myself (and not mentioned it to any of you until I owned the thing ). But I have no need for all the other carts in that auction... couldn't justify the purchase.

 

So, either upsidedown labels aren't all that rare, or ya don't get a rat's arse. Either way...

 

Cheers,

Smeg

 

And in case the auction disappears...

Interesting find; I'm not saying it's a fake, but IMO, it's not all that

difficult to peel off the sticker, and stick it back on upside down.

Along similar lines, I've seen lynx games that that were convincingly

transplanted from curved lip to flat or ridged carts without a telltale

sign of the swapping procedure. Still, this could be a legitimate find.

Yep... Harry D had shown a picture once that nearly had me in fits! He had Battlezone 2000 on a flat cart... or something similar. He simply did the same thing... he transplanted it. I thought the auction was pretty interesting. Just not enough for me to throw a bid at it.

 

Pretty cool stuff!
