Fascinating.... If you have a scanner or a digital camera, could you send me an
image of the box, please?

If not, could you at least describe the packaging? Does the packaging look like
the kind of box shots that you see at chessmaster.com?

We would like to determine if this is "grey market", "black market", or
whatever....

Many thanks,
