Current Talk '24 I / Re: Innovation's '91 DS Comic, Book 2

Did anyone get a copy of the gold embossed DS book?
I wasn't aware of it either. Obviously back in the day I'd read about it in SG but apparently it made no lasting impression. Though even if I had known about it and was aware of the day in June when they would have been offering the gold foil, embossed version of Book 2, Issue 1, unless the segment had been on at night, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage because I would have been at work during the day, as would have been the case with all of my friends. Though there might have been one possibility because I have a friend who back then was a principal at a local grammar school, so she might have been off if the segment had aired in mid-to-late June. However she would have had to have had knowledge the segment was coming or was on, and that seems very unlikely because she knows what a DS fan I am and she would have told me. And chances are she wouldn't have even stumbled upon it by chance because, even though she shopped QVC, the only time of year that she would shop there was during their Christmas in July promotion. If only the segment had been on in July - but alas... Although, all that being said, I highly doubt I would have paid $25 for a copy even if I had known.
All of this got me to wondering whether or not the gold foil, embossed version of Book 2, Issue 1 had ever been sold somewhere online. I mean one would think so. But the only things that came up for me in a Goggle search were these two offers:
DARK SHADOWS 1991 SERIES COMIC BOOK SET #'S 1 - 9 (OF 9) + BONUS ~ INNOVATION CO
Dark Shadows Book 2 1-B
With the first its part of the full bundle of DS Innovation comics that were offered. With the second it's on its own. However, it's too bad that neither seems to indicate when they were offered or if they sold.
