RangerG Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I was just cleaning some games I found this weekend (spring cleaning has led to a view finds recently after a very dry winter). Anyway, as I was cleaning my Gunslinger cart, I noticed that the bottom edge label was peeling slightly. I partly lifted it and there beneath is an Outlaw label. The top label is the same thing. How common was this practice? It seems like it would be a pain and a waste of labels. My other Sears carts don't have double labels, so maybe it was just an early practice (this Gunslinger is 1978)? Any comments? Take care, RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I've never sen a relabeled Sears cart like that. It had to have been a case of Atari not making enough Gunslingers for Sears and diverting their other carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerG Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 I checked all my Sears cart and it is the only one with two different labels that I have. Anyone else have a relabled Sears cart? Interesting . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariman Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 For another fascinating observation concerning Sears' carts' date=' check out this old thread on "Searsfade" :http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16268&highlight=sears+glue[/quote'] hmm... how peculiar. I've noticed that kind of fading on a few of my carts, but strangely enough, I never really gave it much thought. I think I have a blackjack that has the exact same fading as the bowling shown on that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cootster Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have a Combat (Note: Not Tank+, but Atari label Combat) with the same effect. The end label is all shiny and red, and there are spots on the side label as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
