I have two Colecovision games that I couldn't find in the rarity guide.
Venture Colecovision White label.
Miner 2049er Coleco/Adam Black Label

I have pictures of them but it takes forever for me to upload them with dial up. I'd gladly email them to someone if they could post them for me.

Thanks

The black label Miner 2049er is from Canada -- the label should be multilingual English/French. Far as I know, none of the Canadian variations are indicated in the Guide (and there are a lot of them ... all the Coleco Industries releases and a number of third party ones, too).

The white label Venture, if a plain white label with "generic" looking black text that says only "COLECO VISION VENTURE", is a TeleGames release. These, too, aren't commonly listed in the Guide, and I've see a pretty large number of titles released in this variation, mostly Coleco Industries titles, but a few third party releases (e.g. Gateway to Apshai) as well.

Neither of these variations is rare. Valuation is about the same for the standard labeling, though the white-label TeleGames releases tend not to attract much attention, and are consequently had rather cheaply.

If anything, notes should be added to the main listings, but these variations are so common across a wide reach of titles that I don't believe they qualify for separate listing.

What a great response! I didn't even need pictures. Thank you very much.
Should I delete this topic now? How do I go about doing that exactly.

You probably should not delete or modify the topic, in case someone in the future is looking for information on these games and executes a search against past postings to this forum.

It was a good question (about the games).
