Hey everyone,
I have a few questions that I hope someone can comment on...
I went to the midnight party at Borders where I live to get my first 
copy of OotP.  After getting it home and taking a look at it, I 
noticed that it didn't quite look like I thought it was supposed 
to... the title, author, (raised words) part of the jacket were not 
colored in any way.  I remember all of the pictures I had seen of the 
cover, and realized that those words should be blue.  Mine were not!  
They had no color at all and blended into the background.  I wouldn't 
even know they were there if they were not raised from the rest of 
the cover.  I suspected it was a misprinted jacket and perhaps the 
printer had run out of ink or something.  However, I was not sure 
since I had only seen the cover online and on tv... which sometimes 
can be misleading.  

When I got my copy from Amazon on Saturday afternoon, I realized that 
I was right!  There was something wrong with the jacket of my first 
copy!  The second one is metallic blue, as I expected.  My questions 
is... Does anyone think this will be a real collector's item?  Worth 
anything in the future?  Does anyone else have other similar 
variations on the cover/book?

I will welcome everyone's thoughts! :) Thanks!
