I snatched up a Dex Romweber Duo Bizarro that was in the mojo chair yesterday.
I'm relatively new to collective Third Man vinyl but I knew how rare this was and had to have it.
When I got it home to inspect it, I noticed a few things that raised some questions that I'm hoping
might be able to be answered on here:

-On the back of the cover, the catalog number says "110-RMT" or "TMR-011" if turned around. The
record label and the Third Man catalog show this is release TMR-009. Is this a typo/misprint? or just
another Third Man confusion tactic?

-I can see the regular black and yellow label underneath the bizarro label. Is this common for the bizarro releases?

Congrats on the Dex! That is a sweet record :)
All bizarros have the the blue label sticker on top of the yellow one

I did not remember they had the wrong catalogue # for this one. This was a typo

According to that picture, they were all misprinted.
I just found this on here from 2010, as well.

Yikes! That usually goes for around $15 in Swirlville. I've actually given that one away once because I had doubles. Maybe it's part of a bundle of rarities or something we can't see.

maybe they've had an issue with the items being resold, and took a shot at deterring some flipper who had been hounding the store

They probably do have people who come in often looking to see whats in the chair, never really thought about it. I bet your right and if so that's funny as hell.

Now, let's keep an eye out on ebay after it sells, to see if some yuckster lists it for some outrageous BIN.
