My mistake, I meant I take these are the folio
ones. I should probably go and sleep now before I get a label of stupidity here
:)

cassette and market value
I thought I recalled having seen one of these
mentioned, although I dont know which one. I picked up a bunch of games half a
year ago, and among them were the C-64 version of Deadline. I am a bit noob
though since I cant tell whether or not this is a folio or "grey". It is flat,
like a fold out thing. Sounds like a folio, right? On the front it is blue at
the top, white in the middle with the Deadline documentary evidence picture,
and grey/silver with the Commodore logo at the bottom. The whole backside is
the same grey/silver color as the front bottom. I also found suspended with
the pretty much identical flat box. Both are sealed so I cant check any
further. I take it these are the grey ones and therefore of pretty low
interest?

Interesting. Perhaps very few copies were published since it
was the last of the four Infocomics and the other ones had relatively little
success?
Yes, I was referring to the $19.99 "Buy It Now". That
Deadline grey is interesting.... I just saw a shrinkwrapped Deadline folio
go for $29.99 (although that was a "Buy It Now" as well). Come to think of
it though, Deadline folios seem to come up on eBay fairly regularly - and a
good number of them are still in the shrink. In fact, I think I've seen more
Deadline folios than Deadline greys over the last few years.
I agree
with you on actual vs perceived value. Actually, until last year, I didn't
particularly care for Infocomics, which I perceived as relatively
uninteresting computer comic book experiments. Only after finding a
three-pack of them as part of a larger bundle of software did I decide I
should try to get the last one. On the other hand, Suspended and Starcross
were no brainers... and I suspect they are on many software collectors'
lists.

I've seen all the other Infocomics about a hundred times, but never that
one. Is it that uncommon? One would think they'd be plenty of copies
lying around...
It indeed is that uncommon. Much more so than a Starcross saucer,
Suspended mask or sealed Fooblitzky. I have been on ebay now for five
years and only saw it once and that one was even sealed.
I managed to win that auction for a mere $50, as there was only one
other serious bidder. And the current auction you probably talked about
ended with $19.99 via "Buy it now." On the other hand I was outbid
several times on a number of Fooblitzkys, which do turn up every other
month.
Maybe we have to differentiate between actual value, which considers
factors such as rarity and item condition, and perceived value.
Looking through ebay's completed auctions I just saw a Deadline grey go
for $76...
