"...And Justice" (Metallica) JPN CD, 25dp WOW*

I sold one on the forum around 6 months ago for $40 delivered - not sealed, but with OBI in NM condition and I thought that was good.

This one's a promo.

 

Does promo really mean anything..?　I guess you get the neat numbered promo card.

I paid $12.99 for my 25DP, it has an obi and looks and feels like it came out of plastic wrapping the day I bought it. (What I mean by feels is that the plastic feels brand new, not worn. New case maybe?) I don't have that little promo card though...

 

I don't know, but DCC promos carry a premium.

 

Not $734 though

 

Wow.

 

With all due respect, these promo CDs are much ado about nothing. You get a sticker on the back insert or back of the jewel case and a stamp on the plastic ring. Otherwise, same disc, same mastering. Furthermore, promo discs are generally not rare in Japan. I have a few, and it's neat when you find one, but it's hardly worth getting hysterical over.

$734. I wonder if that's more because it's sealed than because it's a promo. Could be that both factors were at play, but I have to believe it being sealed was a major draw. Metallica collectors are rather intense.

For the record, I found an EX copy of the 25DP disc in the bins last year for $8. No OBI strip, used, and not a promo. Hence, it's worthless.

 

Maybe the promo version of Justice actually has bass!

 

Holy smokes. That is INSANE.
