added copies #239, 256, 912, 284, 91, 192, 160, 170, 514, 537, 620, 766, three 'red slash' copies. one of them has been bought in a shop, confirming that some unnumbered copies ended up in stores, as from this note by nils bernstein: "I was there when these were being numbered. the red slash ones are totally legit. in fact some people have suggested they're rarer, since more were numbered than slashed. I don't remember exactly what happened: I think the idea was to slash all the promos, but then we lost count (since a bunch of people were doing them), so rather than repeat a number, we just slashed the rest. I know tons of slashed ones ended up in stores (I know some people that got numbered ones as promos), so it's not just as simple as being a promo." - thanks to tom for this info
