Gaming history artifact was needlessly and heartlessly desecrated.

Silly question but didnt someone copy that floppy before mailing it? Its not like floppy disks last forever anyway…

I think the guy does have an image of the floppy, but it's the artifact itself he collect, not only the content.

If there are only 50 (now 49, maybe less) copies out there, all floppies should be identical since they must have the same print in the metal shutter, color and paper print.

It's more about losing the physical media

Sure i could get a modern copy of lotr but it would be cooler to have a first print.
