As requested by Alan, here are a few photos of a prized collectible. I bought it in Japan a couple of years ago. Attachment:

Many thanks Mike, it really does look wonderful and I'm green with envy.
A once in a lifetime find and purchase!

I found this while looking for something else and thought others might like to see it. Attachment:

Here's the link:  | eBay Link: Select | | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270899916184 |
Curious indeed - though it is of course possible multiple #1's were created, as test pressings, gift copies or just to create some extra income...

Can anyone else see two faint lines after the #1 on the eBay certificate? Attachment:

I see no reason why there would be more than one #1. I suspect a new crop of counterfeits ala Red Low, Coulor STS sleeve/slick and MWSTW Dress sleeve.
I also think this particular iitem would be easier to copy than the items i mentioned above. A genuine set of Ryko CD'S, A Birchwood box and a forged certificate would not be rocket science in comparison to manufacturing a Red Vinyl or a textured sleeve.
