Shawn Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Good luck finding a Picture Labeled "Pong Sports", Myself I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulcjeremy Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Actually, Pong Sports is one of the few on my list that I see on ebay from time to time. The problem is, that its typically in a lot with a system and other games, and I've been hoping to avoid buying $50 worth of extra stuff just to get a single game.

gulcjeremy Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks. Actually I've had my eye on that one. I probably bid, unless it goes to high. The problem is I'm running out of space for consoles, and I haven't had time to resell lately. Anyone need a bunch of 2600's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Good luck finding a Picture Labeled "Pong Sports", Myself I gave up Is that one really that rare? I got mine for about $10. I need some of the rarer ones like Canyon Bomber, Basketball, Gunslinger, Dodger Cars, Superman, and of course Tank Plus. I think picture labels of Baseball, Superman, and Tank Plus are the rarest Sears games of all as I've only seen one of each. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Tank Plus? Does this one exist? Isn't there a picture in dp guide of unused Tank Plus pic labels, find out who has those & just resticker your cart. I have pic label Dodger Cars CIB not for trade though.

EricDeLee Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I want Gunslinger just because of it's friggin' name and my love for the Dark Tower books (Stephen King... yes... that's another hobby of mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I have Poker Plus and Outer Space with the Sears Picture label. Both are in excellent condition, and I think I have the instructions for Poker Plus but no boxes. PM me with an offer if you are interested in a buy or trade. Cheers!

Christophero Sly Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Sears picture label carts aren't listed very often as single item auctions. However, they can be found fairy regularly within larger lots. The difficulty of searching through hundreds of auctions to identify those that contain Sears picture labels makes the carts seem more rare than they really are. Due to the large number of auctions returned by a keyword search, it's very time-consuming to find Sears games that share names with common Atari carts. For example, Night Driver, Canyon Bomber, Baseball, Asteroids, and Basketball. Games with unique names like Gunslinger, Pong Sports, and Poker Plus are relatively easy to identify. If one were willing to buy up larger lots and pick out the Sears picture labels they contain, I'm convinced that it would only take about a month to acquire all of them... except Superman. It's mainly the hassle and expense of stripping them out of larger lots that prevents me from acquiring the last five Sears picture label carts I need. I'm still looking for Poker Plus, Race, Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Arcade Pinball... and, of course, Superman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulcjeremy Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 That exactly what I've been doing, and your right they are around if you really search, however, the same could be said for many rarity 7's & 8's. I've been at it for a few months, and I've found canyon bomber, night driver, and asteriods along with some others in large lots, but some of the picture labels just seem to be really tough.

video game addict Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 A search for Atari 2600 Asteroids, returned over 400 results, so I can see where it would be time consuming. There was actually a Sears pic Asteroids up just a couple days ago, in a huge lot 150 carts. I see these pop up, just like the Basketball, I noticed the other day & bookmarked. They do come up for auction, the bad thing is sometimes the pictures aren't well enough to even tell which version is up, or there's no picture at all. I think most are harder to find than the rarity guide gives them credit for, but at the same time there's not so few around that you can't complete the collection with a little effort.

Christophero Sly Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 The one good thing about Sears carts with common names is that they often go unnoticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Yeah I did get a picture label Night Driver and Basketball for a buck or two the same way. Gunslinger eludes me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shining slade Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Damn! I did not think I'd actually get $39.99 for Asteroids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennercanada Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 How many of these games exist? 40 different games, more/less? What do they usually sell for? Sounds like an interesting subset that I might want to pursue. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
