Actually, no one has suggested that or tried to make such a point.
As far as looks go, it likely is a copy of Mike's board:

Regardless, the video Michael linked to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imdtXcnywb8 pretty much sums it up. Trying
to sell even a /replica/ board for $2300.00 and sticking such a board with
that many ESD sensitive chips in a pink poly bag is just plain _stupid_.
It might as well not be in the pink bag at all.
My point was, for the $2300.00 asking price, they
could at least use a
higher quality ESD bag for the board.
You are missing the point though. This is a _replica_, and by the looks of
it, a very good one. I suppose the apple 1 was shipped in pink plastic?
(I don't know though, but I would bet on it)
