There's very little on the internet about these cups which I've collected on and off over the years, and on eBay, they can fetch a pretty penny.
So I thought I'd put together a thread featuring cups along with a simplistic rating based on how often I've seen them for sale (whether eBay or other) over the past 2 years. Common, Uncommon, or Rare. Common I see all the time (as little as these things come up for sale). Uncommon I've seen more than once, and Rare I've seen once.
I figured sharing pictures with other collectors would be helpful. It's interesting that some cups have a lot of artwork (Centipede, Zaxxon) while others have just the title and not much else (Robotron, Omega Race). Also, the coloring of the 7-11 logo varies from cup to cup, such as red/blue, orange/gree, red/black, red/red.
I've gathered these cups were issued in 1982 and 1983 (1983 have a series notation on the cup). Additionally, there are small and large sizes (Baby Pac Man is a large cup). Large cups tend to be totally rare in comparison to the small cups.
Please feel free to contribute, I'm curious what other cups exist out there. I used to have these in my arcade (lining the top of the wall on a shelf) to accent my collection back in the day. I'm still looking for cups as well (Asteroids, Defender, Robby Roto, Space Invaders, Space Duel)
Most of the pictures are mine (cups with black background), but there are some that I've culled from other for sale posts just for informational purposes only. And the quality is low so if you have some better pics, by all means, post them.
Asteroids - Uncommon (not my picture)
Baby Pac-Man - Uncommon (this is the larger cup series which is actually pretty rare)
Buck Rogers - Uncommon
