Supergun Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Not sure. But since you bumped this thread: This was not the only Atari 2600 cartridge to have had a smaller then usual sized cart shell. Comparing this Canadian museum, and its' policies, to that of the Louvre is quite a stretch. Museums (and independent collectors) manage their inventories & modify their collections often. They make decisions based on what they have, what they need, and what they want. Buying, selling, and trading is commonplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhite2600 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I can add a bit more info. I was was a volunteer at The Personal Computer Museum when the first carts were discovered. I am no longer associated with the museum. I have been in contact with the owner of the "fifth" known copy. At one point I was going to meet her to look at the cart. Having handled the other known copies I could offer my opinion on the legitimacy of the find. Due to some scheduling issues, the meeting never took place. I attempted to work something out but the owner went quiet. I contacted the owner by email within the last year. I asked if she still had the copy and if I could asssist in authentication or a sale. The owner politely but firmly asked not to be contacted again. She did state the the owner of the company that originally produced the game had authenticated her copy based on her pictures. Sadly, it sounds like this remaining copy will remain with the current owner. Edited July 10, 2017 by awhite2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
