I found a copy of Activision's Decathalon at a thrift store today with a label like I've never seen. Is this a prototype cartridge, or was it released with two different types of cartridge labels?
I hope this link works:

Google spit this out, from AtariAge:

"Most of Activision's white labels were released in Europe as PAL variations of North American NTSC releases. It's likely they were used for the same reasons as the Blue labels - to reduced production costs. In fact, they are exactly like the blue labels except they are white, usually with black text (some have blue text)."
PAL, rarity 5. Not a bad thrift store find!

Cool. Most likely this is going to go on eBay, to pay rent again.
