I received this in a lot today to my pleasant surprise:

My question is does anyone really think that this is a three?? I think this could give a lot of more rarer carts a run for their money any day and should at least be a five.

Thoughts, comments?

Opinions vary on where the Sears picture label rarities should be. Relative to the other Sears picture labels, I would rate Speedway II as a 3. Relative to the rest of the VCS library, maybe a point higher.

It's so very relative to region with these being SEARS games. Around here I've seen several Speedway II's in my time. But not so many Gunslingers and TONS of Street Racer. A rarity three is about right, maybe 4.

Must be a 3, I don't have it, all I got is the gatefold version. :ponder:

The rarest of the Sears pic labels would be Superman, Gunslinger, Basketball, Night Driver, Canyon Bomber, & Missile Command IMO. Gunslinger & Basketball were really elusive for me but I finally got them. Superman is just rediculous rare as a pic label. Night Driver does not show up to often either.

I agree, expect I would substitute Asteroids (IMO, the second rarest) for Basketball.

I've heard Cannon Man is hard to find too, but that was just released as text (I think). Not really into those as much as the picture labels. :lust: I wish we got the volume of auctions that you guys do in the States. It'd be a lot easier to find these carts. I was screaming at my computer when Mindfield had his binge sale. He listed a Sears pic Asteroids for $1.00 and a pic Flag Capture for $1.00. They were gone first thing, and I was SOL.

I see a lot of the rarity five's more then this cart over and over. I don't know if they have to go down or this has to go up. :|

Cannon Man is definitely the hardest text label to find. (I got lucky and found it at a goodwill for $1.99!) It was never made as a pic label. I now own all the pic labels except for Superman. :cool: And I also own all the text labels as well. :ponder: (Loose of course :roll: I'm not even going to try for all those boxes.)

I actually see Night Driver & Missile Command quite often. But I agree, after Superman, Gunslinger & Basketball are probably the rarest of the Sears picture labels. (That is, unless the Tank Plus & Target Fun picture labels really do exist somewhere. ;) )
