What's the deal with the Zaxxon cart labels?

lrslam

All those I've seen say "Zaxxon Zaxxon" on the main label with no game name on the wraparound end. Were they all cut wrong? Seems if they were printed on a roll or sheet, and cut between the 2 "Zaxxon"s, the name would appear properly: once on the face and once on the end.

Take a look at this current auction (not mine) if you don't know what I mean:

It's trivial but has always bugged me.

Looks like it was put on the cart upside down, I think I can make out some of the copyright/licensing stuff on its top. Oops.

Likely they are all like that- I have one too...

It does appear the label would look correct applied the other way.

Yeah, label is the wrong way around, should be so one of the Zaxxons is on the "spine" of the cart. My cart is exactly the same.

Man, all I ever find is commodore style carts: visible solar system, music machine, omega race, etc... How come I can't find any of these cool ones with graphics on them? Centipede might be my only third party cart game, but that hardly counts.
