I was sifting through my carts tonight and noticed one of my pile of 2600 missile command carts has a lower case end label. It's not mentioned in the rarity guide - only the upper case one. Does this make much difference?

Hi Hank,

We consider this to be a minor label variation and do have it in the rarity guide, it's just not in the main listing. We do this to not clutter up the rarity guide with tons of minor label variations. We're going to put forth some effort soon to make it easier to find these. If you look at the main Missile Command entry, and then under "Other Labels", you'll see a link (the small "house" icon) to the other label. Here's the page you're looking for:

Missile Command - Lower Case Label

and here's the actual cartridge scan (which appears to be missing the end label, I need to fix this):

Missile Command - Lower Case Label - Cart Scan

They both are very common, so we don't distinguish between them as far as rarity is concerned.

I have wonder me too. In PAL there were to many variants from this out. I have one where the Lable has upper case and one with lower case, but the end lables are both the same with lower cases and the copyright year is too the same.
