Yes, but that's what the other seller said, when he was selling his!
You can't be too careful, I've seen 3 identical flags to this one, so it can be very difficult to identify which is the genuine one.
After all, they don't come with barcode/serial numbers and a receipt do they?

Quote:Yes, this is my old collection (with a different card or two). As for the flags, there were two of them at the Richardson building - a new one in the box that never flew (Tweak's flag) and the used one that flew in front of the building which is the one in this auction. This flag has a lot of small stains and some frayed edges but that's what I liked about it. Yes guys, the 6k card worked excellent when I had it. The other card is (or should be) one of the only two existing 2x2 6k cards. Funny thing is - if I could have any of them back, it would be the 200mhz 3500 Falcon card...but that one was just my personal favorite. Of course I'm still using my other 3500 now.
Geez...$500 with NO reserve? I may bid on this one. He actually paid me seven times that...and I had 4 other bidders at the time just dying for him to welch on the deal so they could buy it. It should bring a good final total though. I was working for a division within 3dfx that spun off into another company when they went down. I begged the guys for the flag when it was pulled down - and eventually got it.
Overall, "ai5u" is a really nice guy and true to his word - at least when I dealt with him. I'd highly reccommend this auction and I hope a fellow x-3dfx'er wins it! Heck, if you do...cut me a deal on the 3500 Falcon!!!
