The Count | 526 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hey, guys. I'm not too much of an Atari expert. Anything in this lot that I picked up stand out? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Atari Video Cube, Miner 2049er, Jawbreaker, Pooyan, and Mines of Minos are outside of the “dirt common” category that a lot of 2600 games fall under. I wouldn’t label any of them truly rare, but good finds nonetheless. If you’re looking for value I think Mines of Minos is the most valuable in the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey | 2,006 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Wow, great lot! Quite a few uncommons like the text label games Space Invaders, Race, Breakwaway IV and of course the ones mentioned above. I'd say they're pretty uncommon games and Mines OF Minus is actually very uncommon. Pooyan is actually one I don't have, even with my massive collection. Get it if you can, sell me what I need! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 526 Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thank you @Strange and @Code Monkey. I picked up the lot not expecting too much as so much of it is common, but I guess I got a little lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,012 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Those cart holders are probably worth more than any single game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I still need Jawbreaker, Tunnel Runner, Miner 2049er and Mines of Minos. Not that I am in a position to acquire them from you, but they're definitely not everyday games. There's actually a ton of fun, playable games in that lot as well. Also, check those unlabelled Apollo carts in the second picture. If one of them happens to be Lochjaw, you're laughing all the way to the bank. It's an incredibly slim chance (most likely they're Final Approach or Infiltrate), but would be enough of a score to check it out. All told, I think it's a great lot...sure there's some tough sells in there, but it's not 50 copies of ET and Combat, so it's not a bad one. Tons of higher end commons/lower end uncommons (the stuff you see frequently enough to not be worth a ton but are not in every bundle under the sun either). If you don't mind sharing, what did the lot set you back? All told it's a good lot, but what you invested will determine whether the deal was merely good or a great one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmorgandrinker | 1,649 Administrator · Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Unless you paid something crazy like 500 bucks for the lot, you did very well! Lots of $10+ games in there. You coming to Midwest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count | 526 Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) So, the lot was $400, however it included NES carts and a few systems along with some Atari boxes and some other goodies. I should add it also included this stuff: Sorry for the orientation, still not sure how to rotate pics on the site. @captmorgandrinker, sorry, buddy, I have to work so I can't attend MGC this year, but I hope to see you next year, Dave! To add, I'm not particularly attached to any of this stuff so send offers if any of you guys want anything. Thanks again!

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 At $400, with the system and organizer, and NES stuff on top of it, I think you did good. I still don't know if it's a steal (even if the $$$ value is up there, finding buyers for Atari stuff can be insanely tough), but I wouldn't complain about it either. I think you did good bud! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Atari buyers, just gotta know where to look. The Midwest show I mentioned is great for that, and I have other shows that have at least some Atari interest. Also, that Air-Sea Battle looks like the 1987 variant which sells for a little more than the regular one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtCasual | 27 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I saw this pic of your organizer, looks like it was official Atari merch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
