I thought so too I'm hoping someone here has seen it before and knows why?
25 bucks was allot of cash back then

 

[cyberdigger]

Well it was because they invested in these bottles and didn't want them to fall into the hands of some freeloading competitor.. it's an extreme version of TBNTBS..

 

[privvydigger]

could quite possibly make it more collectable?

 

[cyberdigger]

I'm sure of that! I never saw one before.. wurdja gitit???
