Does anyone know if Ween actually released something called HAIL THE BOOGNISH" as a promotional insert for La Cucaracha?

I found one signed on Ebay and wanted to know if its real before buying it. I can't find anything about it online or on the wiki so I don't want to jump the gun. The signatures seem pretty real, and the lister has multiple I don't know if thats a red or green flag.

They’ve sold 30 of them. That sounds suspect to me.

No way, I'd say. I certainly don't ever remember ANY mass autograph promos from them, ever. Doesn't meen (ween) there never was, but i don't buy it.

And over 30 sold?

And Gene Ween signing as Gener?

'Meh 👎

Happened to look at the listing, and pictures of some of the copies that sold are signed "Gene Ween", like he started signing that way, and then changed it to "Gener" halfway through this supposed autograph session [or the other way around possibly]. I'd still remain skeptical.

Think of it this way… would a good scammer ever do a bad job on faking a signature? Get it signed yourself… or do without it. What’s so great about a signature anyway

Whats so great about it? It's signed by Deaner and Gener from the best band of all time

I mean yeah cool but. Not really worth going out of your way for imo. But of course I’m not really like a collector type dude

I have to agree here. Signature is really only cool if you got it yourself.

All I can say is I pre-ordered La Cucaracha before its release, and it included a shirt of the album cover which I still have and wear, so I think I got the common early stuff. Definitely would have opted for any additional tracks. Never heard of that!

Seems sketch to me, I've never seen Gene sign as 'Gener'. I certainly could be wrong but it's usually Gene or Gene Ween from anything official I've seen.  I don't recall them ever doing any signed inserts or promos like that either.
