Hey guys. I am putting up my original Atari 2600 Magicard for sale. I have heard of the first version with the Computer Magic blue label, but I've never seen it pictured. The only one I've seen pictured is the Commavid white label version.
The prior owner won this at the CGE 2005 Mystery Auction. Joe Santulli was the one who donated it for the mystery auction. He told me that this cartridge "came right from the home of the game's original designer" (which I presume to be Dr. Bronstein).
Here is his report from the day he visited:

The Magicard comes with a reproduction manual and keypad overlays (from SunMark). Also included are a pair of original and brand new keypad controllers required to "play" this game.
It really hurts to think what I gave up for it...Stadium Events, sealed Cheetahmen and a couple of other high profile games...but it has been nice owning a unique part of Atari history.
I've taken a couple pictures of the insides of the cartridge for those that are interested. I've also taken a picture of the game "in action" lol.
Feel free to ask any questions. Looking for reasonable offers. Prefer money over trades. I will accept PayPal, or any form of payment you desire. I package very carefully, so be assured it will arrive in the same condition it has left.
I understand that many collectors prefer to be discrete about their high-profile purchases...let me know if this applies to you and I will oblige.
