I own legit copies of everything pictured there, so I'll take a stab at it, and speculate that Just Can't Help It is the bootleg.

For the products that still have stickers on them, have you actually kept them sealed? (including the products older than Variety)
If you had more than one copy of some of those (like Dynamite Out!) then I could understand, but even *I* wouldn't keep my only copy sealed.

The coloring on those are all greatly varied and the condition is all over the place, so I searched around and found one in really good condition. Then me and Glanth kept on comparing collections and I got carried away and bought a sealed first edition SS from an auction site. I had no idea it was a promotional copy and not for sale until I opened it (there is a huge sticker on the back saying it is a final sample issue not for sale) and the actual cd and packaing is exactly the same minus "NOT FOR SALE" printed in a circle around the center of the cd.
I started with the regular edition of Shouso Strip. It was among the batch of the first few Ringo/Jihen CDs I ever bought. Then I got a Limited copy used off of eBay. Then I got some sealed nonsample Limiteds off of Yahoo! Japan Auctions. Those have become a scarcity now. Several months recently went by where nobody was selling sealed Limited copies, sample or otherwise. Then this week, all the sudden there's a sealed sample Limited copy, a sealed retail Limited, and a sealed retail Limited with a sealed promo audio cassette. All from different sellers. The marketplace is really weird like that. Things show up in spurts from different sellers, then you go for months without seeing anymore auctions for the product. And it goes in a cycle too, I think.

Here's what I won this morning, just as I was headed out the door for work.
