An early-print module like that in shrink is extremely rare... I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of three remaining in the world (1st print S3 in shrink).   That said, $721 is pretty high.

I have a Mint True 1st print S3 in shrink. I bet Alex K. has a shrinked 1st print S3. I bet that the fellow that won that auction has more than one before that last auction ended. I bet that Jeff Imrie has one. I think there are probably many more than three shrinked S3 1st prints around. That being said, some people really love their shrinkwrap!

Some modules look like they have been placed in a zip lock bag and ironed shut.   8O

I will revise my estimate to four surviving copies.

Interesting. Wanted to rebut, but my inventory says 2 S3 1st but both Ex/NM, not shrink'd.
Got 3 later printing S3 in shrink, but not a 1st.
Didn't realize that. tnx
