I was searching completed eBay a bit and stumbled across the sell.  I didn’t buy it but whoever did got an amazing deal.  Besides having the original sleeve (which is unbelievably rare) check out what’s stuck to picture 6!   This is one incredible pickup!

I picked the game up awhile back just for the hang tab. I only looked at  the first picture and if it wasn’t for you I would have never found those Atari hex discs. I owe you now thanks! Maybe I should start looking inside my boxed games lol. Now I have both Atari and Sears sets. I’m going to keep both the Atari hex discs on the manual instead of a cx-10 sort of an 80s time capsule. Do you go through every page of your manuals? I’m guessing yes.

Congratulations. Happy to help.   Very nice pickup for the sleeve alone let alone the hexes.

beyond the fact that the gatefolds are so nice to begin with,  I've collected atari for years and I've never actually had a hex disk despite owning a few dozen cx10s, wild score

Almost all of them fell off the controllers and the majority of them were thrown away. Don’t fret not finding any, one day when you’re not expecting it will happen. I think Bill has 2 Atari and 1 Sears. If you have boxed games go through each manual , look at your consoles, controllers front and back. Keep looking I’m sure you’ll strike Atari gold.

When I was first collecting, I remember finding a couple of these in the bottom of the box from a lot I purchased off Ebay. I also remember throwing them away because I didn't know what they were. ??

I finally got 1 atari 1 recently.

Stuck to the front of a 4 switch sears consoles front woodgrain as if it was a front logo...go figure. Lol

Got that system in the box for $30.....very happy :)

That’s really weird finding an Atari hex on a Sears 4-banger lol. Congrats on mining Atari gold. I bet you could sell one for $300 or more. Have you looked through all your Atari boxes and manuals? I know I haven’t.

Yeah, all i can assume is these people had an original h6er and then got the sears 4 switch and all their atari stuff was kept together and when a hex came off they just stuck it to the front of their current system.

Anyway it was funny but a great find....started to think i would never ever get 1!

While i have looked thru most of my games good i havent checked every bit of every surface for hex discs.

I know people have found them inside the consoles too...so if you hear a rattle it could be gold :)

I think they are also so rare as i think only the very first cx10s had them. 

I got a brand new h6er from the original owner. He had played it once when he got it and put it up till he sold it to me. He was an adult when it came out, he bought it, had friends over that weekend. They played it the one night and it wasnt his thing. He put it in the closet and it sat there since.

He said it never had the discs. The controllers look mint, smell like new rubber and still have that untouched look. And doesnt ever look like any adhesive was on the top at all.

And its a fairly early h6er so i think only the very, very first ones got them....and they all came off of those. So just so crazy rare. We need nice repros made.

This thread is for interesting auctions not just a pile of (your own?) auctions.

I guess it's "interesting" that you would make a post like this maybe?? :?

 

If these are yours, you would get more traction with your own thread.
