Never understood how this could be such a rarity in light of how Dean literally had twice as long to sign the B&W plaques as he did their gold counterparts. The gold plaque PCs are common and can be had for next to nothing. One hypothesis is that collectors would mail the B&W to Dean and a pre-signed gold version was sent in its place (some signed by Diz himself, others by Pat Dean). Through talking to collectors who received gold plaques in-person from Dean, they were indeed pre-signed, and Mrs. Dean had in fact signed some of those in advance!
