RARE VINTAGE 1982 ATARI CALENDAR – ATARI 2600 / 5200 ARTWORK – 2 ORIGINAL $5 COUPONS STILL ATTACHED
This is an incredible piece of early Atari history from the absolute height of the video game boom.
This original 1982 Atari Calendar is loaded with beautiful full-color Atari artwork throughout, featuring classic game imagery, arcade-style illustrations, and promotional material from the era when Atari ruled the home video game world.
What makes this example especially cool is the promotional section featuring the ATARI 2600, along with early advertising for the newer ATARI 5200 system.
This was Atari at its peak.
The calendar pages feature dramatic artwork tied to classic Atari games and themes, including imagery associated with titles such as Centipede, Haunted House, Defender, sports games, space games, adventure titles and more.
There is even a fantastic full-page image of the ATARI 2600 console with joysticks, exactly the machine that defined an entire generation of home gaming.
And here is the really great part:
TWO ORIGINAL $5 ATARI COUPONS ARE STILL ATTACHED.
These were meant to be torn out and used toward Atari purchases. Most calendars would have had these coupons removed immediately.
Over 40 years later, this one still has two surviving original $5 coupons intact.
The calendar also shows Atari’s transition from the legendary 2600 into the next generation with promotional imagery of the ATARI 5200, making this a fantastic snapshot of Atari history right at the turning point between the two systems.
For a serious collector, this is much more than an old calendar.
It is:
The artwork alone makes this an amazing display piece. Frame individual months, display it open to the 2600 page, or preserve it exactly as it is.
This is the Atari era we all remember — joysticks on the floor, cartridges everywhere, incredible box art, and the excitement of wondering what new game was coming next.
You are buying the exact vintage Atari calendar pictured.
More than 40 years old, loaded with classic Atari artwork, featuring the legendary Atari 2600, and still retaining two original coupons. This is the kind of paper collectible that simply did not survive in large numbers.
I believe in describing every item openly and accurately to the best of my ability..I do not intentionally hide flaws or problems. With the nature of these old games they will almost always have some little issue...buttons don't press perfect, screens faded, small scuffs or wear from play.... battery covers don't stay on perfect. All games are sold as is due to the nature of these games. If I see something obvious I will point it out. Please study all photos carefully, as the photos are 95% of the description and show exactly what you are buying. I am always happy to combine shipping whenever possible. Unless specifically stated in the listing, batteries are not included with electronic games. Yes I combine shipping on all US orders. I do not combine shipping on International orders. I will not label boxes as gift. International shipping can take extra time. I only use ebay Global shipping. The price you see for shipping is what ebay is collecting...not me. International orders are responsible for duties and taxes. Ebay does not have a process in place for this. All items are insured. Shipping price includes packaging and time for labor, etc. Thanks for looking, and enjoy the hunt—you never know what rare piece I’ll list next!
Don’t let this chance pass you by. Own it.
NOTE...You may see a number and a letter in the Title like "A1" this is a label for me telling me the location of the game in my house so I can find it quickly amongst all of the games listed. Thank you
