Superman w/wallet on eBay, Frankenstein'ed

The Game Box and picture label cart in the auction and wallet have been married together.  The wallet era predated the pic carts by 2+ years and the wallet boxes were unique and mentioned the wallet. The booklet is also wrong for the wallet edition, it's white not red and it's the later larger size.

 

Yeah wallet in the auction looks to be in "decent" shape, hopefully who ever wins is doing it for the wallet and is aware that is nowhere near an authentic Superman w/Wallet CIB. As for a WATA rating mentioned as possible in the auction description; based on the box only Haspel* would be able to get an 8.0+, all others will be very lucky to score a 7.0.    *=those in the know, know

 

Now if the listing mentioned it was CIB picture cart era, thus NON-wallet version, Superman plus a loose wallet from the wallet edition included as an extra in the auction that might be correct. 

 

I do wonder if the listing represents honest lack of knowledge on the seller's part or forethought of malice?

Correct booklet, box and Cart for the version distributed with the wallet:

 

P.S. Remember the wallet needs the box and lid to be consider complete

Interesting.  I would have fallen for it as I did not know all of that!

No Atari catalog included?

Yes, this is a mishmash.

The wallet doesn't belong there.

July 26, 2002  This still sold for $535 at auction with solid bidding action from people with good feedback.  The week before this auction started I bought just a wallet without the little box for $150 on Ebay
