Did all 2600 carts have a label on the top?

With the exception of carts that didn't HAVE the space at the top (rectangler flat tops) did all of the carts come with em? I'm working on my 2600 list and have a few that don't have a label on top or any evidence of one ever being there. So either they weren't there, or they fell of looonnnggg ago and since have had the residue left behind removed. Any atari collectors know?

The PAL 32-in-1 doesn't.

By "top" label, do you mean the end label or the large main label? Some Panda games had the end label but no main label. Conversely, the B&W label Telesys games had the main label but no end label.

Well, I think I'm talking about the top label. Try it this way, if the game is inserted into the system, it's the label you'd be staring at. Used to find a game you want when you have them piled up upon one and other. Can't decide of some of them are gone or if they were never there.

What you call "top" everyone calls "end". Not counting the 32-in-1 cart, if you have a standard Atari (case) cart w/o one, it fell off.

The two Milton Bradley carts had end label stickers that were DIY, so it's common to find them w/o the end label...

Some titles had wrap around labels (Parker bros titles like frogger etc) a fewer of the lower budget titles which are today ultra-rare didn't have them either. Coke wins,Off your rocker etc but all the common titles I can think of had end labels.
