This is not merely a huge chunk of Atari stock. The certificate is made out to Jack Tramiel, “a Polish American businessman and Holocaust survivor, best known for founding Commodore International. The Commodore PET, Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64 are some home computers produced while he was running the company. Tramiel later formed Atari Corporation after he purchased the remnants of the original Atari, Inc. from its parent company.”
The Atari name and brand has had a complex history, but you can once again own shares in it. It trades overthecounter as PONGF. Sadly, I never owned any Atari stock of any sort. But I did own some uWink. I’d rather not talk about it.
