Hi all!

I picked up this PHB at a used book store, and it is quite strange. The cover is light blue, the top 1/5 of the back cover is black rapidly fading to blue, and it has a small  black sticker with a gold border saying "The original, uncut Player's Handbook in TSR's attractive new cover" on the front. I attached the image.
In all respects it seems to be a 9th printing, but the color is just crazy. I would say it might have been bleaching/sun or something, but the color is consistent on the inside of the cover as well. Also, the spine is pure white.
Anyone ever see one like this?

:(  Yep, it is. Dunno why it didn't occur to me to just peel back the sticker a little.
Ah well, I was hoping it was a rare, I wanted to give it as a gift to someone who is a fan of PHB's.
