I have 910 HK copies with that same difference, along with another that has a different sticker.

 

But I would note that your copy without the sticker is incorrect, because it has HK overlays, while the box bottom says it should have USA overlays.

Hi Steve.

Thank you very much for pointing out this incoherence in my game w/o sticker! I will put immediately USA printed overlays in it, I hate wrong CIB games…

 

Concerning "the detail" we are talking about, I did check randomly some of my other games…

It seems that the boxes "without" are less than those "with".

 

And @Cellblock1138 is confirming it.

 

Whe have here a new kind of variant that has never been (as far as I know) extensively tracked and documented…

 

I will try in the forthcoming months to go thru my entire collection and asses precisely all variants "with" and "without".

 

Any help/contribution is more than welcome!🙏🙏🙏🤠🤠🤠

Here are three stickers on Hong Kong boxes for the US market, that match the color of the box and show various differences in the contents of the box. I believe these have all been cataloged in @Wizewonathome's spreadsheet on those games where they have been found.

Thank you very much for your contribution Steve, I’ve never deepened the blue stickers, very interesting. So, you found three variants of them. I will check all mines and see if we have some more variants or not.

I made already the list all games I have with the blue sticker, I’ll specify which kind of blue sticker it is among the three kinds..

 

Concerning the "detail" my son noticed, it’s related to the "by" next to the Mattel:

Most of the 0410 don’t have the "by", but I didn’t have the time to check all my 0410s yet.

 

I’m curious to know if all 0410 have both variants with and without the "by"…

 

Someone has already studied this specific topic?

Why is it whenever someone posts a strange subtle variant, my first thought is cmart diving head first into his collection to check for it? 🤔

looking at the above information, the Top Sticker is not in my tracker files for the Football Boxes. Could you please confirm the Vendor Box part Number inside the Gatefold Boxes of these three Stickers please

Don't believe it. It will take him weeks or months to go through his games to find variants he doesn't already know about. One of the troubles of having a huge collection... lol.

I designed the Picture Database in such a fashion, that it is very easy to navigate, and find answers.

I was referring to Cmart and his personal collection, not the database.

I did not say that these stickers are on Football. They are just stickers in general that match the color of the box.

There are lot of different bottom flaps indeed, with different colors matching the boxes’ coloris, and they have to be all catalogued and tracked folks!

 

Otherwise we can not find new variants…

 

I’ll try to give my contribution to this work, as soon as I will have completed the relocation of my collection: I made three new big shelves that should allow me to store properly about 1.000 games!!!🤠🤠🤠🤠😎😎😎

Once that they will be all placed, it will be very easy to look for specific variants…

To touch on Morpheus Post showing the variant"by" missing from box front...

 

This made me look at some of my Football variant boxes to see if i had one,.. and I do. Here is the info I found regarding if anyone is interested.

First of all, I found that my Football box missing the "by" before "Mattel Electronics" on front, is a 2610-0410 UK international box. The box has slots on back for manual, & slots inside for Overlays. The cart inside was a regular NFL Hong Kong game cart. It has the UK version Blue manual 2610-0820-G2 with the Blue 2610-0850-G1 playbook (very rare). Bottom of box has the Hong Kong light blue decal.

 

For referrence, the game box i have beside it is another UK variant but is much different. It is the 2610-0810 international box and does have "by" before Mattel Electronics. Box does not have slots for manual on back, nor seperate slot inside for overlays. The 2610-0810 box has the "Advanced Consumer Electronics" Radofin text printed directly on bottom flap. Cart in tray is the "no-line" UK Hong Kong, text only label. This variant has the yellow UK "Ace" 2610-0820 manual with UK "Ace" 2610-0850 purple playbooks with purple Title text.

 

I hope this gives some insight to where that box came from. Atleast this is what I found in my variants.

Hi Rog!

Thank you very much for contibuting to study this very important aspect of the Mattel boxes.

 

I gave a quick look to some of my 0410 variants and I can confirm that those with the slots back for manuals usually they don’t have the "by" before Mattel…

 

So far, the only 0410 with slots back for manuals and with the "by" before the "Mattel Electronics" that I found is the Football.

 

Now I need the help of the whole community: are there others 0410 with slots back and the "by" before Mattel???

 

PS

Rog!!!

I noticed that my 0810 ACE Football is without manuals!!!😱😱😱😭😭😭

I hate incomplete games…

Would you have a set of manuals compatible with that variant for me?🙏🙏🙏🙏

Cool! It's the first time I see the yellow -820 Football manual and the blue -850 Football playbook! I didn't even know they exist! They have just jumped from total oblivion to a high position in my want list.

 

Edit: I've just seen the yellow -820 manual is shown on intvfunhouse... I should have paid more attention, shame on me, lol

That is weird Morpheus because all of the other 0410 slotted back Hong Kong Football boxes i have (Italian, Bandai, etc) do have the "by" before "Mattel Electronics". The one 0410 box from UK i posted is the only one I have that is missing it.

 

* I'll check for an 0820 radofin.

Yes, Football 0410 with slots back has both variants, with and without "by".

 

But, among the various Soccer, Frog Bog, Golf 0410 with slots back that I have, not even one has the "by".

 

I would say that there are less 0410 with slots back and the "by" and I would like to know if there are other 0410 with slots back and the "by" than Football…

Yes, and I would like to list them all…


Do you think that all 0410 with slots back for manuals have both with and without "by" variants?

 

Same question for the 0410 without slots Back for manual…

On 06/12/2024 at 18:27, Morpheus said:

Sì, e vorrei elencarli tutti…


Pensi che tutti i 0410 con slot posteriori per i manuali abbiano sia la variante con che quella senza "by"?

 

Stessa domanda per il 0410 senza slot Torna al manuale…

I think that with BY and without there are only for some sports titles, see also these:
