sly Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Question #1 - why doesn't that link work?Question #2 - what is the proof of authenticity, given you're the only one with a known copy? 932212[/snapback] Well I don't know what to tell you. I knew a couple of people who said they owned one. Do you think I made it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 No, I don't think you made it. I'd really like to see one be pulled out of a sealed or vintage stock box though, and AFAIK that's never happened. Either way the eBay link isn't working.

Room 34 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I don't get this... the original link sly posted also does not work for me, but keilbaca's does... but they're exactly the same. I even copied and pasted them into separate files in BBEdit and ran a "Find Differences" just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I dont care whether its fake or real, you guys are F'ing NUTS! $157 bucks already 2 hours into a 7 day auction for a label variation of a dirt-common game?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sly just copy/pasted, I copied the acutal link and the site made it look like exactly like his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Ah, OK. I was wondering about those points of ellipsis in that link. Does the forum software automatically do that to the displayed text? (I can see the benefit of not blowing out the page width with a huge URL... but it doesn't seem like a good idea.)

shadow460 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Damnit to hell, and I just spent $60 on a picture label Gunslinger to complete my collection. Now it's not complete and never will be. Even my collection of loose Tigervision carts is complete. I don't think I'll ever find a picture label Sears Superman. 826975[/snapback] For Gunslinger!? I gave less than a buck--for this! I might hafta get me a text Superman and print out that label for it. I'd mark it, though, as a copy. Actually, I've never paid over a buck for any of my Seras pic label games, except Defender, which was $4. I've got Berzerk, Defender (red), Defender (orange), Missile Command, Night Driver (seen above), Pac Man, Space Combat, Space Invaders (replaced end label), Star Raiders with the controller and overlay, Submarine Commander (with both labels replaced), and Yars' Revenge. I've also got a Stellar Trrack with the green end label that no one can seem to find. Serious, if you want a Sears pic label of Superman--print one! I've thought about building my own Tank Command cart and printing a book for it. As long as you don't try to sell it as something it's not, or keep it for your own purposes (you do get a license for the ROM when you buy any cart), there should be nothing wrong with it.

Then again, most of my family thinks I'm crazy with the collection I have, and the only game(s) I ever spent more than fifty bucks for wereBounty Bob for the 5200, and Meteorites.

hepcat Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 It's at $229 now. That is the most I've ever seen for a label variation by far. Does anyone remember a silver label Gravitar going that high? --Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/GRAVITAR-SILVER-Atari-...1QQcmdZViewItem Of course, ending it on a Sunday, and ripping buyers off on shipping tends to help keep the price low.

MattG/Snyper2099 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 $711 bucks? What-the-hell? I mean seriously, I have label variations that only a few people have and I know if I put them on e-bay they would get $3-$5. Is it because it's superman?

sku_u Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 $711 bucks? What-the-hell? I mean seriously, I have label variations that only a few people have and I know if I put them on e-bay they would get $3-$5. Is it because it's superman? 937867[/snapback] Think about how much some of the Ultravision games go for which are just label variations, nevermind Air Raid which is just a pirated game. I'm not surprised. What will surprise me is if more of these don't start popping up after what this one went for. BTW if this is for real, why hasn't Albert added it to the database yet? It's been six months since sly posted the scans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uosipa llamxew Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Albert is a very... VERY busy guy! I don't doubt the authenticity here... perhaps a few more PMs in his direction would make it a higher priority on his list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mainly what I am refering to. Most beveled edge sega games have 3-4 different label variation believe it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Congrats. I’ll be watching out of curiosity. It should bring a nice price for something so rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
