+kheller2 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 How come the 2600 label section doesn't list "grey" labels as a version? The Red labels and Grey were 7800 style cases. "Silver" looks nothing like the dull grey ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I've been thinking the same thing too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 The dull grey labels are considered minor label variants. They are late-80's re-issues of the foil (silver) label games. They are probably left out of the rarity guide in order to avoid unnecessary clutter and potential confusion. However, grey label carts are given extensive coverage in the 'Giant List of Label Variants' (available in the archives here on AA). It's difficult to draw a line between what should be included in the rarity guide and what should be left to comprehensive lists of label variations.

SS Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 How would you describe this one? Even generic "grey" doesn't quite do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonicgo Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 it's the STYLE of the label... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csonicgo Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 That will work. "Oh, that's the rare 'cheapass' variation..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Track & Field CX26125 ©1984, E: grey with red letters (Case shows CX26127) this label has square corners and is just a greyscale picture on a white piece of paper. The label doesn't look like any other type that Atari made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
