shrek2600 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I found this at the flea market. It cost me a whopping $1.50! It looks like the old gatefold carts, but it seems to be some sort of mock-up. And yes, it weighs more than other cart so it has an eprom inside. I included a picture with a 51Blackjack cart for comparison. What do you think? Anybody know the history of this cart? What do you think this is worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 (edited) It's a demo-type cart, I've seen a few of them before (no baseball mind you) and it's a R10 congrats !! Also nice to see you finally joined AtariAge Shrek!! Edited June 5, 2006 by Shawn Sr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Nice find! It looks like the Space Mission cart that showed up last year. I wonder how many more of these carts are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Franzman Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 What do you think? I think you need to learn how to use your scanner software's cropping feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 What do you think? I think you need to learn how to use your scanner software's cropping feature. What's the difference? The thumbnail autoresize is there so that images don't take up an ungodly amount of space in posts anymore. If you don't like the size of the full size image, don't click.

JagFan422 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 whats so rare about this label type? I have a couple of carts with labels like this and never thought twice about them, they're stashed away with my other dupe carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that is the only 23 Baseball known to exist making it a rarity 10 label variation. The game on it is Home Run. That is likely a rare demo piece for use with an original POP Kiosk or something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not complaining about the overall image sizes, merely the fact that 60 - 90% of them is useless because he's posted the full image of his scanner's bed for every one - including an end view of a single cartridge. If he'd cropped them closely, they would probably be readable in the thumbnails. If the thumbnails are legible, it's easier to make an informed decision whether one wishes to load the full-sized images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I always wondered why Atari changed the name to Homerun. They didn't call football Touchdown or basketball Slam Dunk. Just seems kind of odd... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Wow that is actually really quite cool! It's in almost perfect shape too! I like the uniqueness of it not really being a prototype or a normal production cartridge, sorta sets it apart from everything else into its own category. Congrats!

A.J. Franzman Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I wanted to crop the image but my I can't find the crop button on my Atari Did you really scan those cartridges, and post the scans here, using an Atari somethingorother that has no capability to reduce the area that is scanned, nor to edit the images after scanning? I can't imagine a company, even one as bizarre as Atari, releasing such products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
