Limited Control

How much would you pay for a piece of paper that's been stamped with the words Legitimate Bros? What if only five of them existed? Surprisingly, the answer isn't as much as I would have thought...but maybe I'm slightly retarded for placing so much importance on these things. Who knows? The story from the guitarist of ON, Ben Berres, is as follows:

There are only 5 copies of this version of the record. After selling all the red copies of this record at the record release, we found 4 more copies in a box. A few weeks later, another copy was sent to us strangely by the record pressing plant along with the records plates. So, there are a total of 5 copies of this record and one was distributed to each dude in the band.

I actually picked this up for kind of cheap from Ben on eBay. I'm assuming that part of the reason is that doing a search for "ON" through eBay is not really an efficient way to look for the bands records. Sure you can add "Champion" in the listing name for them, but maybe that isn't even enough to boost your selling price. Good deal for this buyer.
