John plog has one where the 6 is sideways on it. Because you said to look closely, I noticed the C and K upside down, but average joe won't pay that much attention to it. I doubt it devalues it much. 9 Hole is hard to find, i'd figure it to be worth more (and less noticeable) than an 8 hole pad. BUT you gotta find that guy, and be able to ship it to him.
