I came across a whole 2600 collection in a video game store that someone had just sold to get a modern system. Everything in this collection is near mint--it's like someone went back in time and brought this collection into today's world. Amoungst other things, it has ALL the origional boxes and manuals. It also has quite a few catalogs and two Atari Force comics (#1 and #3)--all in excellent condition. The games themselves are fairly common Atari games.

My question is, how much would you guys say the boxes and catalogs and comics are worth? I've can easily get a pretty good idea of the value of the games and system itself.

I can post pics if any of you are interested.

Post the pictures so we can see what 2600 items you are talking about.

Last photo for now. Atari Force #1 and #3, the 45 and 49 versions of the red catalog, and a couple of other catalogs.

It seems every box came with a catalog, so I have numerous copies of the catalogs shown.

You have something with that Action Pak, that is a great item to have, it is on the rare side. The other boxed games and catalogs are not worth much, the Raiders of the Lost Ark & Superman are worth about $12.00 - $15.00 each.

Ah, thanks.

Good to know that I had picked out all the good stuff. Unless the system itself is a heavy sixer, I won't pick up the rest of the collection from that used game store.
