Retro Atari Coolness

Here's part of Atari's artwork archive which was auctioned off at Sotheby's in 2007. The entire collection included over 2,000 original marketing designs and materials from 1981 to 1983. The whole thing was expected to sell for up to $250,000. Yikes. I wonder which rich nerd has these hanging up in his bedroom.
