Did you mean to say green cover is expensive? It says 1250

Interesting point you raise.
Yes, the one listed is for sale at $1,250 but also note:

That link for the used ones shows 33 available.
The first 15 (1968) are priced up to $40, and the last ones, (1874) start at $49.95 and run up to $1250.

Didn't notice a blue one, though, but I didn't click on them all.
