Sorry if anybody thinks this is gonna burst their chances of winning an easy auction (they're all reserve, though...) but here you go:

THere was a discussion about these on Atari Age and most of them are thought to be fakes or home-made. Obviously it's stretching it to call the CGE releases protos now that we've released them.

it looks to me that the guy is just saying that they're pretty rare. I mean, the one says 18 of 50.......so......it's kind of believable that they're really rare. So my last human curiousity is......why does this guy say, "OMG LOLZ CHEK OUT UBER RARE ATARI PROTOS OMG SA SA WTF WTF LOLZ" But maybe nobody will ever understand that, and he will lose bidders with the rare title. Aren't all protos rare? and those interested in them are well aware of that?
EDIT: I just now finally looked at all of these up for auction, the first time I only scanned them a little. Anybody up for some ralph lauren polo? :roll: Anyways.....which ones are the cge releases?

I'm lost, did this guy end some of these early? I went back to see about an update and I don't see as many......or atleast, that's what I remember. Maybe I'll look into it a little more....
Dur, just to answer my own question and if anybody else was curious. He ended them early stating they are no longer available for sale. Anybody know what happened? Is he ripping ebay off on the fees or is there another reason by chance?
