The sticker in both pictures says "1 of 100", not "1/100". The interpretation is still subject to debate though.
I assume sticker placement and orientation could vary slightly. The stickers appear different colors, but if it's a foil sticker that could easily be a trick of the light when the picture was taken.
Looking at the picture of Jim Cranford's copy, which was auctioned on ebay last year, it also shows up yellow like the current ebay copy rather than gold like blackstele's copy. Thus, the color of the vinyl does not indicate the new ebay copy is a fake- either it's just the lighting making it look yellow instead of gold, or there were yellow AND gold copies made. The other option is that Jim also owned a 'fake' yellow copy but I think he would've known the difference or would've said so in the listing.
Jim's copy did not have the sticker (or at least it wasn't visible in the picture) so the numbering is still subject to debate. Does anyone else own a copy that has the sticker intact so we can determine whether they all say "1 of 100" or whether they're individually numbered? Stormspell has a good point; with that kind of sticker they might all say "1 of 100" rather than being individually numbered.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed some additional light on this little mystery.
It is obvious, and I will say it again: There are recent YELLOW vinyl re-releases, and not GOLDEN. My copy is GOLDEN. You see, I scanned it on purpose, so you can see the difference. I haven't seen any other GOLDEN Ripper vinyl copy 1of 100, so what you're saying is just out of the question. The egay guy is an impostor. I don't know him, but claiming that he sells the "LEGENDARY MONSTER:(
), whilst I hold my original and ONLY copy in my hands, makes me think that he is a total ignorant as well...But, come on, what's so big fuss bout that?
Oh, and last but not least:
First you invite him, then you ask him not to bother you? In the same sentence?
YEAH, I'm Fire and Ice dear!
