Rare as in, there were 3 of them at the last auction I attended!
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

It's vinyl?  And stapled to a board?

I want one, but I'd rather have the real thing.

It is the real thing.
That was how it was manufactured.
I guess if you removed it from the board, It could be backlit  ???

You can't remove it. It's "stapled" only at the edges. It's actually adhesive-backed vinyl stuck to wood. Crystal Castles and I think Millipede used the same basic concept, except they had an opening in the wood, with glass, to let light through.

Rolling Thunder was a very short cab, and as such they designed it with this non-illuminating marquee. (One of my favorite games BTW).

Even if so?
It would still be a cool atari collectible.
It looks very retro looking  ;D
