THINGS I KNOW:
where the box came from
what the seller remembers
what the labels say
what can still be played
THINGS I DON'T KNOW:
who made the copies
who watched them first
how many hands they passed through
why they ended up here
SOME THINGS HAVE BEEN COPIED SO MANY TIMES THAT THEIR BEGINNING HAS DISAPPEARED.
