  What were the final sales quantities? Probably too soon to know, but would be interesting to know. Cheers, RickO

  Looks like he's talking about the UHR selling out. --Jerry

  I think that "Sold Out" is a misnomer. That would imply that they sold the entire limit of 300,000 pieces. It should just say "No Longer Available" or "No Longer On Sale."

  I totally agree but unfortunately, for the next year or so, "SOLD OUT" will be the battle cry for the flippers and after market TV outlets. After that, it'll become just another collectible with a history revolving around "I remember when they sold for................".
  
  Unless of course, a 2010 is in the works?

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  Looks like the mint says both "sold out" and "no longer available". I guess both are technically correct in that they sold all they have. I don't think they are allowed to keep spare inventory so it will be destroyed. The point you are making is that they didn't sell the full authorized mintage which is quite valid.
