You’re absolutely right. I would

The three IBM releases were as follows:

I saw your prototype gallery a while back, very nicely done. As for the UII

Well... if a cassette only Drash averages $800, and a (mostly) complete copy
sells for $3605... I'd say the box is worth roughly $2000, and the manual
roughly $800. So an imaginary shrinked Drash should fetch at least $50...

Rarity, value and desirability are
all difficult things to measure with any accuracy - especially when relying on
eBay for information.
For rarity knowing production

Well I know of yours (complete), Tom's (missing box & reg card), Edward's
(missing reg card), the one from the auction (cassette only), one that was
the source for a cassette image that popped up a few months back, two I
can't really discuss, and another two that are quite possible but
unconfirmed.
I can actually answer this one... If you look at
the unfolded card on Tom's page you can see the discoloration at the top of the
light side (where the title is). When the card is closed along the horizontal
fold the top section overhangs, leaving that section exposed.
