I just picked up a couple of Series 1988 Radar notes at a local coin shop. The first one has a "ladder" sequence as well that is kind of interesting. When looking up these notes I noticed that Series 1988 has a much shorter print run than the 1988A's, and in the Ebay completed listings for "1988 FRN's" almost all were 88A's. Is there any premium for Radar notes of this particular series versus other Radar's?

(The discoloration ON the second note is only on the holder...)

That might be on my to buy list this year but I have to study a book first. I also want to go after some of those North African notes with the blue and the yellow this year, but too busy buying foreign currency at the moment.
