Howdy-

I picked up a trio of 2600 games in great condition & complete.


Got an idea what these might be worth?

1: Name-this-Game, by US Games. Box: good (sticker tear in top right corner), cart: excellent, manual: OK (semi-wrinkled)

2: Lost Luggage by Apollo. Box: very good, cart: good (main label crooked, end label starting to peel & a little Actiplaque), manual: very good (a couple of creases)

3: Spacechase by Apollo. Box: very good (some whitening on edges, internal rip in cart shelf), cart 1: excellent (slight plaque), cart 2: good (homemade end label), manual: no. There are 2 carts in this one because I already had a copy of Spacechase. I'd prefer to keep the nice cart & sell the bad cart of course, unless that drops the value significantly...


Oh, and these are my only copies of 1 & 2. I'd love to keep the carts & sell the boxes & manuals off--not sure what the boxes & manuals would be worth without the carts...


Thanks!
-Jason

Does the very edge of the Spacechase cart look almost like it was professionally photocopied? I bought a boxed one after the Telegames warehouse was hit by a tornado and they dumped some of their stock in local electronic junk stores. I've noticed that the Apollo games look like they were reproduced at some point. I also noticed the same appearance on the ones at the Atari Age booth at a convention in Dallas years back. The edge of one side looks like there was wear on the original box, and that was photocopied on to the new boxes, along with seams that are slightly off.

I'm no expert, but the Spacechase cart & box look to be "normal".

Thanks,
