SoundGammon Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I was going through some of my "complete" Intellivision games and I came across an extra end-label for Backgammon. The original one is green with white lettering and says it's printed in Hong Kong. But the extra loose one is a burgundy color with the ABPA symbol on the left, Backgammon in smaller white text and AMERICAN BACKGAMMON PLAYERS ASSOCIATION in small print underneath. How many different ones are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humblejack Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have these 3. I think the 4th is just faded but I keep it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I've been looking for the white one for years. Someday. I have a variety of shades of the others, though http://atariage.com/forums/gallery/image/12891-backgammon-cart-label-variations/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+the1hatman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Oh, you sly dog, the1hatman! It occurred to me that one could easily convert green label Backgammon carts into double labels or just Intellivision, Inc. white label versions. So collectors of these need to be very careful when buying or bidding for these at auction. If the white label looks too perfect and clear of any glue seeping through to the front I wouldn't chase after it. It is easy to capture the old glue effect in Photoshop but it would not print very well on a physical label. One glance and even a novice Intellivision collector would be able to spot the difference. Keep your eyes open guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is to keep in mind that double labeled games have no inherent value over any other, so don't pay a significant premium to obtain them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Vectron you talked someone into selling you separate from the rest of the listing was the only one I've found for you so far.
