ColecoVision Cart Stickers question

[Blue60]

I have 2 cart stickers for "Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle" and "Zaxxon" for my ColecoVision the only thing is they are in French, they are in almost perfect condition are they worth anything? i don't have no need for them... and am thinking of trading them or may even giving they away....

These are pretty common if you collect complete games from Canada. Most CV titles came with extra French labels in box for user to apply if wanted. It's not uncommon to find them stuck between a manual, or in the original box if you run across any boxed games.

They're not *that* common for Canadian releases. Theoretically, there should be at least one decal for each boxed Coleco Industries game that originated from Canada. In reality, given that 20 years have passed, unless the game is NIB or had belonged to an anal owner, the likelihood of finding the matching decal with a boxed game is far less than 1:1.

If I had to peg actual incidence for opened games, it seems more like 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 boxed Canadian games will still have the matching decal(s) today. Most purchasers don't care or are oblivious to the fact the decals "complete" the game.

Even fewer take note of the French-ified overlays that were also included with most Canadian titles. Those are even harder to obtain from an opened game ... those small bits of cardboard and plastic tend to get lost rather easily.
