WTB: Atari 2600 Boxes and some mans (not too much uber rare, so please look)

to excellent shape. An '*' after the title denotes that I need the
manual also. I do NOT collect red label Atari games, so assume
original manufacturer (Coleco or Parker Bros. usually). Not so much to
trade these days, but I do have a handful of Jaguar & 7800 games. Also
have a TRS-80 Model III computer with some disks (shipping will be a
bear on that puppy). Please help me fill some holes in my collection!

Yeah, but not at the expense of my passion. True, I don't do boxes
myself, but the few boxes I do have in my collection are there for a
reason. And I gave up "sum-guying" a long time ago. Too much work for
a dwindling profit. Even trade bait has lost any real worth. What I
still have is just taking up space these daze. The days of net trading
for collection growth are long past. ePay killed that, and now that
prices have fallen, they are my main source.

I still do trades with people at vintage-computer, atariage and
sega-16. Not every week, but sometimes 2 or 3 times a month. I'd offer
but I don't have much to trade with right now. A piece here and a
piece there.

Sadly, there have been no shows since Jag-Fiasco 2k2. Not sure if it is
that Jag-Fiasco tarnished stl nationally as a potential game show
location, but honestly, here in stl, there is no classic gaming
community. I have tried talking with a few collectors I know, but most
of them just want to keep their games to themselves. And the only show
within a drivable distance of here is Dan Ikabelly's shows in Chicago,
and he is part of the reason Jagfest was such a fiasco, so no way I'd go
to any of his shows.

Because of Frank's post, while getting Xmas decorations
out of my attic, I also brought down a big cardboard box
full of old video game boxes. I've been holding on to
them for nostalgic reasons, but I'm not really a
collector so if anyone needs any of these, make me an
offer (I've already emailed Frank with the ones that
were on his list).
I haven't checked every box, but all the ones I have
checked so far did NOT have the instruction booklet in
them. At some point the cardboard box holding all these
boxes just have gotten rained on or something, because
there's some water stains on several of the boxes (I've
tried to detail the condition of any less-than-good ones).
These are boxes only, no games...

Circus Atari (very faint waterstain on front)
