Custodial History

According to donor Tom Cheese, these maps were purchased at the estate sale of "an Air Force pilot and a Vietnam vet," whose favorite game series was Zelda. These maps were donated to the Video Game History Foundation after VGHF purchased a lot of magazines that Cheese was selling on eBay, which he had also acquired at the estate sale. A note from the donor is included with this collection.
