Added the final atari enamel lapel pin to the collection..

I have been looking for the last pin for a while.. Most people know of the 12 that were seen on this display card:

they are centipede, millipede, tempest, battle zone, kangaroo, dig dug, asteroids deluxe, gravitar, missile command, food fight, space duel, and xevious..

Here are the final 5 that I know of:

The asteroids one is somewhat common. Star wars, liberator, quantum, and pole position were not easy to find..

If anyone has seen any others, please let me know or post a pic. Looks like they did the pins for the arcade games from 79-83. There are a few atari games in that range that might have deserved a pin..

Is there a site that shows all of them. I can't see the card.
someone had a good pic of the 12, I just could not find it. Once I get some time, I will take better pics of all 17.

also atari did a few other enamel pins. Steel talons, area 51, ect.. I just think of the 17 as a set..

I doubt I'll ever collect these, but especially being Atari, these are super cool.

Here's a thought.. build a shadow box to store them, but build the sides of the box out of cut down scraps from the sides of an Atari cabinet that is being dumped.. just large enough so that an arcade collector can tell what the box was made from. Cover the back/inside of the box in black vinyl.
