Dave, I have been a Titanic buff since the mid-1950's, when we sang the Titanic song at scout camp. If this was a legitimate Titanic plaque, I would be very interested in having one. However, it is my understanding that there was no gaming on Titanic and therefore no reason to produce Titanic plaques. Even if produced after the sinking, if it is a legitimate White Star item (perhaps in commemoration of Titanic), that would also be interesting. If that was the case, though, I also wonder why Britannic isn't listed -- or if there were others that said "Olympic & Britannic". Despite having followed the Titanic story for many years (and having all of the books/movies/exploration DVDs, etc., as well as many commemorative Titanic coins & medals), I had never heard of Titanic related gaming memorabilia until I became aware of this plaque this week. Which makes me doubt the authenticity of this piece.
