I'm pretty sure their reputation is more valuable to them than that. Especially with as publicized as these books are. Part of the reason why I decided to show them now is so people would see I did this before the others were distributed, so there would be less of a chance of someone crying foul over the yellow labels.
I hope it's ok I consider you a friend, I am happy for you those are going to be a great addition to your already impressive collection. If I was able to get one, crossing fingers it's through my LCS, I would be perfectly happy with a green label.
