ilovethevectrex Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 well, i recently bought a vectrex pin on an ebay auction that came with a bunch of other pins. while the other ones are cool, but i mainly bid for this item. but i recently found out that they sold pins on atariage quite a few years ago. the thing is, the back if quite dirty, and if someone bought it from atariage i think they would have kept it in better condition.. although, the front is in pretty good condition. so im sort of confused. i will attach some pictures, but i was wondering if there is a way to tell if the pin if actually from 'back in the day' or from atariage, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big is it? its not big at all, its about an inch tall i think. it was in 2004 when they were selling it, so mabey thats why you dont remember it. i know it was then because i went on the internet archive (wayback machine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectrexer Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 At only 1 inch tall I doubt if it's a GCE original. I think they would have made the logo portion bigger. But I'll ask Jay and see what he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter of fact, that is an AtariAge "Vectrex" button circa 2003-2004, they were sold for $1.00 each. Here's the link to the AA page circa 2005 for the M Network button (same size - same price) and with my personal review for it too! https://web.archive.org/web/20051114171353/http://www.atariage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=186&osCsid=969d9e5327a6231dbb265d064daad225 Also, during the Houston Arcade Expo 2 weekends ago, I brought my buttons (Vectrex, M Network, Colecovision, and Intellivision) and invoice to show Albert from AA since I came across them before I left home for the expo. Thought it would be neat for Albert to see some of his items from 10 years ago. And I have never taken the buttons out of the original baggie too! I found the link for the Vectrex button too............... https://web.archive.org/web/20060324022823/http://www.atariage.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=189&osCsid=df70767705a0b1251dbeec35ff715540 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
