He probably picked it up from Acclaim's bankruptcy liquidation.
 
Before looking at the auction, I thought it was going to be one of those foam "dolphin developers kit" toys they gave away at GDC.

I can't say where I've seen the cartridges before, but I'd say this is authentic. They used the cartridge format to make instantaneous "burns" of each new game build for quick testing, and it also simulated the Cube's quicker-than-normal load times (but with some artificially added time if they wanted a more realistic estimate.)
 
[quote name='briansraregames']From his feedback it looks like these are the dev kits from Acclaim...RIP. Too bad, they had some good games, burnout etc.[/QUOTE]
I preferred Aggressive Inline to other xtreme sports games. I think Activision bought Z-Axis (one of many critical blows to Acclaim's future), so I'm incredibly surprised they haven't released their own inline skating game or had Neversoft add it as a side-mode in Tony Hawk.
