potatohead Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 BTW: Wouldn't it be cool to get those molds and make future AA carts with them? Nope. No end labels. Why not? Seems to me a wrap around label would work just fine. :thumbsup: on pink plastic and glitter! Put it on the wall, and there would be all those carts, and THERE IT IS! Everybody would go right to it, asking something. Perfect, I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If the mold is found and put to use it should be engraved with an AtariAge logo and or web address so any newly made cart shells would be easily identifiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thats pretty easy to do....not! We are talking about a steel mold here adding a small AA logo with a CNC machine shouldn't be such a big deal .... i think it would cost 100-200$ Edited April 19, 2010 by jahfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegamatrix Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If it's real, I say keep it preserved. I'd like to see it next to the Air Raid box in Wonder's museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari2600Lives Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 One thing I have noticed is that there are several new faces showing up on AA. I wonder how much Tanman's Air Raid sale has to do with that. Just watched the news interview. Awesome stuff! It makes me think of those times when dad would get new 2600 games for us. Well I have been away for a few years but that auction bought me back and i'm ready to start adding to my collection again. Did U get in on the Air Raid auction? We were talking about your Ford's earlier in this thread. Welcome back. Wp Nah man, I missed it :-( but i am really happy for Jose, tried to look for the reference to my Fords but could not find it. I am glad to be back ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbudrick Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 If you use a heavyweight carrier and ship ground, you could get a decent deal on shipping it. You might have a to wait a couple extra days, but weigh it and check out DHL, UPS, FedEx, Eagle, etc.'s heavyweight prices. You'd be surprised how reasonable they are sometimes. The only problem is that on arrival, they sometimes want you to have a loading dock, else pay for lift gate and/or inside-delivery fees. Of course, if you sign their waiver, they will let you take it off the truck yourself. -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey85 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I'd be interested in hearing some more from Stick, to be honest. He hasn't added any additional insight into the situation in a few days despite making more than a few appearances on the forums since then.

He hasn't added any additional insight into the situation in a few days despite making more than a few appearances on the forums since then. Well, I do kind of understand what he was saying about wondering how it will have a payoff for him. Yes, it would be awesome for us to see and confirm this story but is anyone really interested in buying this thing? What would the market price be for a Steel Air Raid cartridge mold?

Carey85 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You have to find the damn thing first before you start thinking about making any money on it amirite? I'm sure that there are guys here that would kill each other in a damned cage match to get their hands on the tooling just for bragging rights.

I'd be willing to bet that Atari2600lives has him beat. Well to be quite honest it probably has less to do with the dead presidents at our collecting level and more to do with commitment and drive to have a great collection. Wonder has me beat as far as atari collecting goes 100% (I bow to him and in fact have gotten half my R10s from him).

Wonder has me beat as far as atari collecting goes 100% (I bow to him and in fact have gotten half my R10s from him). Agreed 100%. Can I ask if you or Wonder have a Personal Game Programmer (PGP-1)? They are also extremely rare, with under 10 in existence. A real treasure to obtain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
