About this record
The European deluxe box pressing of Hardwired...To Self-Destruct carries catalogue number 00602557156454 and was pressed at MPO in France, distinguishing it from the US standard edition and three other 2016–2017 variants in circulation. The runout etchings—marked CB MPO 0602557175400 and 0602557175394 with BLCKND.031 stamps—confirm the pressing plant and lacquer-cut source.
This format bundles 4 vinyl LPs, a bonus CD, lithographs, buttons, a download card, and sticker; some copies distributed through EMP included a limited crystal glass dice (60x35x35mm) capped at 2000 units.
What drives its value
Condition drives the entire market for this deluxe set. A Mint copy commands 109.25 USD, while NM drops to 97.75 USD—a 11.50 USD gap that reflects the sealed-box premium.
VG+ sits at 74.75 USD, VG at 51.75 USD, and heavily played copies fall to 28.75 USD (G+) or lower. The lowest asking price across 58 active listings is 42.07 USD, suggesting negotiation room below VG grade.
Community ownership is broad—4258 collectors have it—but want remains concentrated at 608, indicating this is a known title rather than a chase pressing. The European pressing (00602557156454) occupies a middle tier among four variants; the US standard edition (BLCKND031-1) and two other European catalogue numbers (00602557156416, 00602557156317) fragment collector focus, so scarcity is relative rather than absolute.
How to appraise this pressing
Verify the European deluxe edition by the barcode 00602557156454 on the box exterior and the catalogue number printed on the spine. Inspect the dead-wax etchings on each of the 4 LP sides: sides A and C should show CB MPO 0602557175400 and 0602557175394 respectively, with BLCKND.031 - 1 stamps and the phrase HARDWIRED TO... etched in.
Sides B and D carry the same matrix prefix but end with MAKE OUR OWN VINYL. The "Made In France" credit and MPO plant identification confirm the pressing source.
Grade the vinyl by surface cleanliness and groove wear; the set's value hinges on whether all four discs remain unplayed or show handling marks. Verify the inclusion of all ancillaries—lithographs, buttons, download card, sticker—as missing items reduce value.
If the crystal glass dice is present, note it as a bonus; its presence was limited to 2000 copies via EMP and adds collectibility.

The runout etchings CB MPO 0602557175400 and CB MPO 0602557175394 with BLCKND.031 - 1 stamps identify the MPO pressing plant in France and the lacquer-cut source. The etching "MAKE OUR OWN VINYL" on sides B and D is a plant signature unique to this run.
Is the crystal glass dice included in all copies?
No. The crystal glass dice (60x35x35mm with 3-D engraving) was a limited exclusive distributed by EMP and capped at 2000 copies. Most retail copies do not include it, so its presence significantly increases collectibility and value.
