Well, I disagree that it would be worth ZERO. The fact that it's still an original Akalabeth sticker in spite of everything else should still make it worth something.

Being coy about this is against my better judgement, and if this offends anyone, please state factually that I didn't get the joke. *Putting an original akalabeth sticker on a 'non-original' disk is a forgery. *Putting an original sticker on a disk that has the data copied from an original Akalabeth is a forgery. Tom is correct. The sticker on it's original backing, in the way that it was presented (sold) to him is much more valuable than creating a 'new' copy of a game. The value of an Akalabeth made your way is exactly ZERO. Anyone who bought it would get a certificate of 'UNAUTHENTICITY' on the Museum website. Thoughts like this not only decrease the value of your reputation, but the reputation of the game collecting community as a whole. Like I said, I don't want to offend, but I will stand by my principles. It's forgery, a felony--punishable by up to 10 years in a Federal prison.
