Got a little lucky. No it wasn't a r8 /r9 etc, but not bad for a dime. Lister thought it was for Coleco, and I would have taken it if it was, but as you can see from the pic it is definately Star Wars Arcade for the 2600.

Again, not the biggest score ever.... but not bad either.

I'll link the auction for informational purposes only (Hope this doesn't violate policy but I didn't know where else to post this).

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 120833933363

Not bad eh...

Hmm..you are 100% sure it's for Atari 2600? It's very difficult to tell without seeing the back of it. They look incredibly similar.

100% sure...It arrived yesterday and, after some cleaning, it booted right up on the 2600.

Nice find then. By the way, how do you tell the difference between the Colecovision and Atari 2600 version from that pic? It didn't seem obvious to me but maybe I'm missing something.

Actually wasn't obvious to me either. I figured that for the price it didn't much matter if it was for CV or 2600.

Good score! Always nice to see you can still get a deal on eBay everyone once in a blue moon . . . post pictures once you get it and get it cleaned!
