Don't worry Sam, this is one item that won't find it's way up to
EBay. I'm already in the process of going through it and looking at
installing it in my Apple ///. And yes, I have a shrink-wrap gun so if
I wanted to make millions on EBay I can alway re-wrap it. :-) It
was just a small part of me didn't want to break the virgin seal.
Looking at the cover of the box it says,
"SOS
DOS
and
CP/M"
SOS and CP/M I see but DOS? Yes I know it's Apple DOS 3.3
and not MS-DOS; I guess they are refering to the Apple //
emulation mode as I don't think the /// could handle DOS on its
own.

Don't be afraid to strip away the shrink-wrap and
use this thing. Unless
you're planning on selling this at auction 20-30 years from now, I don't
think there's much sense in keeping it in this condition. If you had,
say, 3 or 4 of them in shrinkwrap, or one loose card and 1 in shrinkwrap,
then sure, I'd keep it in shrinkwrap for show. But if you've only got
one, open it up and use it.
And as you alluded to, there's no telling how many times the box you have
has been shrink-wrapped in the past for re-sale. And if you want to
return it to its "pristine" condition, you can always re-shrinkwrap it
once you've had your fun with the card.
