Well if you look at the PCB it looks pretty legit but I suppose you could fake that too.

In case your post wasn't sarcastic, I forgot to install sarcasm detector this morning. Easy challenge accepted.

Air Raid for Atari 2600. Someone sold a boxed version on eBay for $300k. AFAIK only only 12 or so Air Raid are known to exists worldwide, and only 1 boxed.

Yes it was, I was quoting his listing lol. And whoever thought that spending $300K for Air Raid was a great deal needs to purchase this VGA Graded sealed copy I have lol.
