First thing, I want to apologize if these are stupid questions.

I'm trimming my collection down and removing most label variations, keeping the rarer version, and had questions about a few of them since I don't see any distinction listed in the rarity guide. None of these are rare games but I was wondering if one version was slightly rarer than the other

Atari Asteroids picture label - Same end label font but one is thicker than the other. The thicker one is a little lighter blue also but this may be due to fading.

Activision Barnstorming - One has a colored sky the other is white. The scores are the same on both. [edit] Actually on second inspection one is very colored (plane, barn, ground, windmill) the other is only 4 colors (white, black, green, red)

Atari Combat text label - one has a mat finish and the other has a gloss finish.

M. Networks Dark Cavern - one copyright states 1982 Korea the other 1982 U.S.A.

Atari Missile Command Picture Label - one has the name in upper case the other lower case on both labels

Like I said none of these are rare by any means I was just wondering if anyone knew if one was slightly rarer than the other.

TIA

Atari Video Pinball picture label - one has the name in upper case the other lower case on the end label only

Here is a list with some relative rarity assignments for minor label variants. However, they're just estimates. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any broad consensus on them.
