Please read:  Apparently this is an incredibly rare copy of this record. I've gotten a few offers for a buy it now price, but I am going to leave it as an auction and see what its worth. The Fat Wreck website only lists 219 pink copies but discogs lists a 'handful' of grey marble copies. I am going to add a few more pictures so you can see the details. Feel free to ask any specific questions. 
Original Story: Somebody sold this record to a store where I worked about 5 years ago. It was likely a review or promo copy as it came in with a bunch of other recent punk records in excellent condition. I bought it (and most of the rest) before it went out on the shelf.
Condition: I just play graded the entire record and it sounds perfect on my Stanton STR8 150. No pops, skips, scuffs, nothing. It was cleaned with a Hunt E.D.A Mark 6 anti-static brush. I also put it into a rice paper sleeve which should eliminate the possibility of surface scratches. Unfortunately, the record was priced so there is a sticker on the cover. Also, there is a small scratch and bend in the corner. It is barely noticeable on the front, but there is some visible creasing on the back. 
Free second copy! I am going to include a new sealed copy on black vinyl (as long as the auction ends for over $100). The record is still in print from Fat Wreck Cords. There is a little damage to the cover (which is not the valuable part of the record) and I thought it would be a nice bonus for the winner. 
Insurance: Due to the value of the record, I will be including insurance for the sale value. I will pay for the insurance in the US but international buyers will be responsible for covering the cost. Sorry about this but I want to make sure it doesn't get lost in the mail.
Tony Sly RIP: I thought I would comment in case anyone is concerned that I'm just cashing in on a tragic event. I'm a punk fan and a hardcore record collector. I've owned a few NUFAN records for years but I don't listen to them very often. I thought somebody else would like them so I added them to my sale pile. After his death I decided to wait a few months to list these records out of respect. I even went to the Nofx / Teenage Bottlerocket memorial show a few weeks ago which was amazing. I plan to donate some of what I get for the record to the memorial fund somebody setup for his daughters.

Update 1/3: I have been unable to get any response from the guys at Fat Wreck Cords (unfortunately they are on vacation until the 7th). However, I was able to find another reference to this color on deadformat.com.  It lists 4 known copies. I don't know if this number is reliable but I thought it was interesting.
