[Richo]

Hey guys!

Check out lot number #224 here:
https://www.livebidonline.com/catalogues/common/catalogue.php?pagecode=5TCRIC&eventid=408

It states it is numbered out of 150! I thought these sets were numbered out of 500!

Did the first 150 come frame like this?

Or has someone just got the set framed themselves and got the numbering wrong? I zoomed in on the picture above and it looks like the box has the numbering 103/500 but the gold plaque has 103/150 but I can't be 100% certain!

Can anyone shed some light on this?

First time I've seen this Richo and most likely someone just got the set framed themselves. Never heard of the first 150 being framed. Plus if it were a original framed release the plaque would have had a esp logo on it, certficates etc...

Yep, agree with Raj completely on this. Looks unprofessional in my view, almost thrown together.

 

[Richo]

Yeah that's what I thought....couldn't understand the /150 though?

Maybe a mistake?!?

Looks like the first 150 were in fact framed guys.......check this out:

Looks Exactly the same as the one I posted in the first post!

Hmmm. Here are my theory.

This product sold terribly and ESP ended up dumping stock. Perhaps someone picked up 150 of them and decided to frame them. Looking at it i dont think its an esp product. Like Raj said - no logo's.

Plausible but the first 150 would be hard to pick up!
