I'm on my last box of laserdiscs being listed online and I came across this odd sleeved copy of Exotica with writing alll over it. Anyone ever seen something like this before?

It looks like a pre-production copy with measurements of BER (bit-error-rate), timestamps to check balance (audio mix I presume) and a draft of the disc label. Must have been taken from the production company at some point.

Yes.

Now question is do you have just the one disc or both discs??
When they did samples they had one for each side. Each disc would be both sides but they only marked and gave data sheets for the
one side.

Also LMK when you sell it, I need to sell my sample disc and want to see what this goes for before I sell mine.

When the Technidisc plant shut down, a bunch of these “check discs” appeared. I have a couple of them. “Raise the Red Lantern” and one of the “Schoolhouse Rock” titles if I recall correctly. I had “Empire Strikes Back” at one time.
