The disk is probably made from the same stuff they are doing DDs from. My 
guess is that they took a Berliner, covered the surface with a silicone 
impression material that, once set preserves all the surface details. They 
would then use this as a mold into which the resin would be cast. I've done 
this with Little Wonder records and cast them in Chocolate. They will play 
and are tasty too.

An original going for $9.75?! In any case, the description clearly says that 
it's a repro, from information on the reverse side.
