xulchris Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Has anyone noticed the water damage evidence present on the Orange label on the left bottom? Maybe this is the culprit. Yes, we have noticed it. No, it is not the culrpit. I too have an orange label waterworld, and it does not have any water damage to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I have two different text label Combats not listed in the giant list of variations: One with a high gloss finish that no other Combat carts have and one with a different color lettering I attributed to bad ink. Maybe these are valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GruBBworM Posted June 26, 2003 Author Share Posted June 26, 2003 SOoooooo!!!!!!!! After all this debate is the orange Waterworld any less Valuble than the red WaterWorld??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I gotta say that in that latest scan, the mega-huge one, the two reds are almost perfectly identical. The color data in Photoshop is very, very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 SOoooooo!!!!!!!! After all this debate is the orange Waterworld any less Valuble than the red WaterWorld??? In my opinion it doesn't mean anything as far as the value of the cart. It isn't worth calling it a unique variation just because the colors are a little off. I do know that I would be very happy just to say that I own a S.Q. Waterworld, let alone 2 of them! Both carts are very nice, enjoy them equally Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitfall Harry Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 SOoooooo!!!!!!!! After all this debate is the orange Waterworld any less Valuble than the red WaterWorld??? Value is a tricky thing to pin down. I suppose that if there is a detectable difference in the appearance of the two labels -- regardless of the cause or reason -- AND if you can find a buyer who will agree with you that there is a worthwhile difference AND if you can hype him up on the "Value" of the difference AND if he gives you more money for the cart than you would otherwise expect from your other Waterworld cart, then yes. Your label "variation" woud have more value... to you and to your buyer. To the collecting community at large, however, it would be a much tougher sell.
