Up for auction is my ultra rare Vectrex Passport Magazine. These were
distributed in the Summer of 1983 only to members of the Vectrex
Owner's Club, and ended up being the only issue of the magazine.
the_topdog here on AA has TWO of these, but aside from his, I know of
only 3 others - meaning this is one of the rarest Vectrex items there
is.

I've never actually seen one of these sell on the open market (I've
heard one sold for ~$350 in 2002, another for ~$250 in 2008), so I've
decided to start the auction at a penny, put a reasonable reserve, and
see where this thing goes. I have 11 other auctions that are also
starting a a penny, so check out my stuff and (maybe) get stuff cheap!

Thanks in advance for any interest!

Whoops, copy/pasted my post from atariage, forgetting there was site-
specific info in it - and now I can't edit - oh well, you get the gist.

Whoops, I copy/pasted my message from atariage, forgetting there was
site-specific info in my posting. Oh well, I think you get the gist.

Final bump: 6 hours left. Some items are still a penny!

If only 5-6 exist worldwide then I have one of those. I had no idea
those were so rare and desirable! Maybe I should list mine on eBay?
I always thought that thousands of those were mailed out.
