Here is one on eBay that shows the faded spine. I am actually a bit envious that you were able to find one without the fading issue. I don't think you overpaid that much, MAYBE $20.00?
Throw a BRODART or GAYLORD cover on it and it will look good on your shelf despite the edgewear.
Again, in my opinion, the faded spine is the bigger deal for me.....
The quality of this DJ suffered from the get-go.....
