Well, a very good question. The story goes that when they released the 1/1 trade edition of the book, demand was so high that the publisher contacted the BCE publisher and forced 10K or so, I'm guesstimating, copies of the BCE and passed them off as 1/1 editions. However, the publisher placed a "sticker" on those books for the price, I believe it was "$8.95"at the time. Now, these BCE had all the 1/1 indicators, First edition, gutter code, etc but had the publishers sticker price tag. I myself have one that I think is pretty freaking cool. Perhaps, what you are looking at is a variation of that episode in publishing. I can't be sure. Visit my collection thread and see for yourself as I have one and had it signed by, King at the RBR event. I think it is a very cool item, but that is just me.
