The old Opus X slides date back to 87 or 89.

Check Christies Auction House as they had a humi with them in it that went for about $33,000.

Edit: 1992

I met a guy through Cigar Aficionado who is a serious collector and has them sans the humidor they came in and he is trying to sell the. He has all sorts of crazy stuff like one of the golden tickets and three Liga Privada No9s from 2004,2005 and 2006 that JD hand wrote the band's with pics of JD writing them out. He has virtually everything Liga Privada has made sans the Black Rat, Big Black Rat and the Bashert Pig.
We did a huge group buy him on the Halfwheel forums back in February & March.

If anyone wants his contact info PM me. His name is Jeff and his main home is in OR and prefers to be emailed first and I will tell you if you don't have a genuine interest in purchasing he can be rather short with you.

Couldn't this "guy through Cigar Aficionado who is a serious collector" be able to provide you with the information of which you seek? You seem to be buddies and I'm sure that he would not be short with you.

If there is a serious collector near me who paid $33K for NCs, I'd like to meet him. I have some land west of Newport that is for sale at a reasonable price.

Huy and Jarrod are correct. The Opus X did not come out until 1995. When you see "1992" on some Opus X packaging, most notably the tins, it refers to the year that the seeds for the wrapper leaf were first planted.
