    Would you mind sharing a pic of it? I’ve never actually seen one. Always been curious of exactly what it looks like.

    Scroll down the first page and I posted the one I used to own.
    oh man what i'd give to have the box. i have the colored vinyl set AND the set of 3 test presses. FYI i got the 6 7" set from Amoeba for $300 a few years ago
    Did you get the test pressings from the guy on ebay?

    I have one of the test pressings. I think I paid $180 for it. I can’t remember who got what from the eBay sales but I do remember this same group talking about it back in the summer of ‘19 when they ended. I’ll never understand PJ collectors and what they buy and for what. It baffles me. A never officially released 6 record promo set for $350 obo should be an easy sale. You guys are weird. Especially Tempo.

    I'm pretty sure most people didn't think these were real or official.  I know I questioned them for the longest time then I saw 10C do a giveaway w the red record in it and then I knew they were legit.  I even made a thread about it.

    It's like that box.  It should be worth a fortune but nobody knows about them so only the hardcore collectors have them.  I was happy owning it for a bit then passed it on to another hardcore collector.

    Still available. I've received a couple of PMs and a couple of lowball offers on Ebay (where i put them up at $450). I'll give it another day or so and if there is no interest I'll pack em up for the next record show. Appreciate the sharing of knowledge within this thread though.

    $350 is a great price for these!

    Late to this, I would have liked to add these small hole versions to my large hole version.

    I’m likely the other guys Chris is referring to who has the box. I bought the box and records together.

    The box appears to be a mock up. 

    I would buy a test pressing of these if anyone is selling

    I know the chances of securing one box (much less two) would take incredible luck, but this kid would be over the moon if small hole and large hole "twins" (yes, I own both sets) ended up with a pair of "matching socks".

    That said, I'll echo earlier comments... +2 for yours truly if ANYONE is looking to find a home for "spare" boxes. I've thought about looking to construct a "custom" box (more than likely some sort of frame) to give them a proper display.
