That is the highest number in the popular 50000 series and therefore carries a premium as the "last" Diamond Disc issued. I've only ever seen 2 copies of this one, both on eBay, and both going well over $100.

I sold a fairly used copy of this disc some years ago for about $75. It goes for far more in nicer condition.

Best,

Garret

so which was correct then... are you looking for that title disc, or that number disc?

Arrgh. I had a mint copy several years back, and a good friend wanted it. I sold it to him, not knowing what it was, for $60.00. He turned around and sold it on ebay a few weeks later for $300. Apparently he knew what it was.
