I didn't know that they made case's for all of the walkmans of Sony wm case, so I did a little searching here: https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/...nType=98&page=1&vic=YahooAuction_DirectSearch
I really think that was a different one. It has a slightly different crease in the box. Guessing he had multiples.
Perhaps you're right. The bottom corner on the right also seems in slightly better condition. When I get it. I'll take the measurements and post them here so other people can fashion their own case.
Never seen a 20th Anniversary DD9 in this good condition anywhere. Very tiny signs of wear. The price is the earth though, just for the sticker on the spine. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/t1099106936
This sticker I have not seen before. The DD30, DD10, DD9, along with many others https://walkman.land/year/1989, came out in the 10th anniversary year. Was there a re-release of the DD9 in 1999? Or is there a scratch that is now no longer visible underneath?
It’s not a 20th year Walkman thing though. It’s just 20 year service anniversary. I am guessing it was given to some boss at Sony for his 20 year service working there. I’ve seen this on Yahoo Japan for a while but hugely over priced and I really think it’s not that special, it was just a gift for someone working there.
Next thing you know, you'll be seeing 20 year stickers on different brands for different models of audio equipment to raise the prices of them
