Or is it, as my friend claimed, just an attempt to try to cash in on the "collectibles market"?

Sorry; if this is not the appropriate outlet for this question, please direct me to a better thread. Thank you!
I'd agree wth your friend. It's basically a way to tease out the collectors and make them pay wayyy too much money for an album. I'm a collector and I KNOW when I'm being taken advatage of.. sadly I don't care..
