PRESENTS THIS ULTA-RARE, HISTORIC ATARI STOCK ISSUED TO SAM TRAMIEL, CO-FOUNDER!!               Everyone knows that ATARI started the VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY. Did you know that it also pioneered the use of the FLOPPY DISK? This revolutionary company changed the culture forever. To say that this flashy 1980's- early 1990's stock with a 1981 corporate seal is a hot collectible would be an understatement.         We are the source every Atari stock you will ever see on the market, and we can assure you these certs are VERY RARE. We set aside the best quality examples for our own customers, and now offer them on ebay for the fist time!          The offered example is one of a handful (from many boxes of Atari Stocks) issued to one of the Tramiel Brothers, the brothers who shaped Atari into the icon it will forever remain. The bearer of this stock was SAM TRAMIEL personally!!          Almost all Tramiel Certificates that have turned up were in relatively poor condition with heavy folds, soiling, pen marks, prolific staple holes etc. (which didn't stop them from selling for 3-figure prices on Ebay).        However, THIS Example is a very rare, super clean and crisp Near Mint example. It has no pen marks save a neatly penned number in the top margin that can be matted over. It has light traces of handling but no hard folds.  A fresh clean look the Atari collector is going to love!!!      To give you an idea of how rare this stock is, it bears one of the lowest serial numbers of any Atari known, Number 128. It is has the engraved signatures of two Tramiel Brothers and the Shares are RESTRICTED as per the clause at the top, meaning that the shares could not be transferred without being Registered with the S.E.C.        Hold vintage video game history in your hands, and then frame it and put it in the spotlight it deserves.  Guaranteed lowest starting price in the world for a Tramiel-issued Atari in this condition.....$49.95 (Theoretical Long Term Value is in the many $100's!!)             FREE brand new Archival Display Holder (a $1 value) included FREE FREE FREE.   Place a Bid!
