Well, traditionally this has been know as a Protoype, when i type that into google this comes up.  Test Cart Zelda is probably more appropriate because it explain where they stole to yellow shell from.

However, it doesn't really answer the question, is there a credible source to explain this cart?  I know alot about World Class Service Centers, I have had nearly every peice of equipment from various centers as my store has been approached and had many items from them sold to us, and I regularly talk with people who worked there.  Nobody has ever seen or heard of these, and cannot figure what their use would be.  That is not to say they don't exisist, but I have never seen credible evidence for them, and they can be easily made.

Can anyone point me to that evidence that these aren't  a bogus item to prey on collectors?

He's saying he considers himself to be an expert.

Hello Mr Expert,  Have you looked thru the Nintendo Service Center catalogs and looked for the zelda?

The burden would be on your shoulders because the rest of us have seen enough evidence to indicate the Zelda Yellow Test cart is legit.

Since you are an expert I imagine you are like the most knowledgable person ever when it comes to service centers, and the rest of us are just stupid right?

I never called myself an expert, I was just asking if there was a credible source, this thing has had some ridiculous legend behind it and since I've read in this thread, there is no know differences in the gameplay it seems easy to reproduce.

The people I've spoken with who worked with this stuff hadn't heard of it.  If you are saying they're in a catalog, and it has proven to be relased then good, that is really all I was asking, maybe my friends weren't in the biz too long and never saw it.  I even tempered my comments with "That is not to say they don't exisist, but I have never seen credible evidence for them, and they can be easily made."  I was asking for the evidence.  There are a lot of frauds out there, I err on the side of being skeptical with stuff like this.  Shit, if I made 3 fakes and shuffle them into the world where would things go?  Would you bash someone being sceptical of more Yellow Zeldas showing up? This auction doesn't show the back of the cart.

Also how come people can't ask a question here without being attacked by the bandwagon?

Admittedly the internet is filled with misinformation, I heard mostly rumors and didn't really know a ton of facts about this cart despite having owned a large amount of WCS tools, I never saw a catalog nor had I heard much about this cart till recently. I can admit I've been misinformed, but ultimately this stuff is pretty dangerous to buy, especially at the price. I guess I wanted to inject a bit of skepticism (based on my misinformation, mind you) because so many people are out scamming and creating artificial inflation on games.
