Also produced in a lidded “Signature Edition” (CS273SE) of 10,000 pieces signed by the artist (Jerry Raedeke), and in a wholesaler “Gold Decal Edition” (CS273GOLD) of 1,500 pieces. Apparently, all or most of the “Gold” edition was inadvertently shipped to regular customers, as opposed to A-B wholesalers, and few have resurfaced, thus accounting for the relatively high secondary market price range. In addition to the “standard” version (right), this stein can be found with a number of painting variations (see “Notes on Content” re: Variations).
Price Ranges CS273: $6-$10 CS273SE: $20-$30 CS273GOLD: $75-$100
