Diamond Disc "Preliminary matchings"
Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2012 6:07 pm
I know that the first 50 or so Diamond Discs in the 50000 and 80000 series were (with a few exceptions) pressed in very limited quantities, primarily for early exhibitions, dealer demos, etc. I assume these survive in very small quantities.
I'd like to do some research on these relating to survival rate, condition, variations, and so on. If you have any of these very early discs in your collection, please PM or email me to let me know which ones you have and whether or not you'd be willing to answer detailed follow up questions.
Please note, I'm aware that 50001, 50043, 50045, and several others were reissued as "permanent" matches and as such are fairly common. I'm not interested in the reissues of these, but if you have the preliminary versions, I would like to know about it. If unsure, just ask.
Thanks!
Kevin
