Coleco provided press kits (or, more accurately, dealer kits) to retailers at trade shows. These kits are folders containing product flyers, and the most collectible are those featuring the ColecoVision. There are multiple versions of the kits, distributed in 1982 and 1983. There seems to be no set number of flyers included in each folder; perhaps exhibitors and/or buyers assembled the kits on the show floor. Any kit will command a hefty sum, but of course the more flyers the better.

This particular kit was listed on eBay in June 2013. The folder included 22 flyers of ColecoVision cartridges with pre-production labels; some of the games never made it to production. By auction’s end, the kit commanded $609.59 after 6 bids.

Here is a link to another June 2013 listing for a different kit featuring other electronic games by Coleco as well as games for the ColecoVision. This one contained 37 flyers. It sold for $375 after 35 bids.
