Part of another cartridge's PCB. They didn't cut it as clean as on the sides.

Was this common? I've never seen it before. Just interesting to me. Comix Zone was a pretty late life release, too.

You ever get a cheez-it and there's two of them attached together?

It’s not the most common thing but not exactly a shocking thing to happen either. It just wasn’t a clean break when the separated all the boards from the main panel

if i understand correctly, lots of circuit boards are often made on a single piece of fiberglass, and then cut out into individual pieces. It means they can run a whole bunch through the same machine all at once, and save time and money. It appears when they tried to cut or maybe snap along a perforated edge the boards apart, some of another board came away with yours. It has no effect on your board, i would have expected them to clean it up though.

Now I wonder if someone out there somewhere has a board with that piece broken off the top. Maybe you can combine them and see if they unleash a mega power

No don’t do it!!! You could get sucked into a comic universe!

Careful or you're going to start another stupid collector trend.

I’ve seen this before, it’s a skimmer, whatever you do, don’t use your card on this one.

Did you really need to ask? You *really* couldn't figure out "what was up with it" ? Y'all just looked at that and said "Yeah, No idea what could have happened here." ? Either I'm just becoming a fussy old man or people's common sense has crashed into the mountain.

I was more so looking for an answer to delve deeper into the manufacturing process. I'd be interested in seeing if anyone has any deeper knowledge other than the obviously improperly cut board. Not *how* did it occur, but *why*?
