Atari Pong Trophy Up For Auction Print E-mail

Pong TrophyHere's a unique piece of history.  According to the Ebay Seller , this trophy of a Pong Cabinet encased in resin was given to his mother who worked at Atari and won a company Pong Tournament whereby she actually beat Nolan Bushnell.

Now that's some bragging rights right there.  Not only did you work for Atari during it's infancy and the days were able to witness, first hand, the dawning of a new era of electronics and video gaming, but you also played in a company Pong Tournament and took the godfather of console gaming to school and beat him!

Ya know, if that was my mother, I don't think I'd ever give up that trophy.  This kid must have had an awesome childhood frowing up with all the latest Atari stuff all the time.

Check out the auction here. This will look beautiful on any mantle.
