The one I got from the crazy Ebay seller is disc #6, which has a regular-style caddy label with a Christmas tree on front. It has this weird promo thing telling Avon sellers to basically bother everyone they visit during the Christmas season to get them to buy their stuff. I'll try to put it on Google Video or Youtube soon. I've got 2 other Avon discs too which were well-hidden on the same famous auction site a couple years ago, one is just a short 10-minute speech from this old lady at a convention, shot with a single camera and it comes in a white caddy with a VHS-sized label on the front, the other is a bit longer and documents another convention in 1982- Bob Hope appeared and provided them some entertainment but the disc just shows still pictures of him. I'll get these online soon too so everyone can see them.

I don't know the story on why Avon decided to use CEDs, I'm wondering if they got a good deal from RCA on players? There's some other discs which I haven't found yet that were used briefly in travel agents' offices, and I've heard of a disc with cartoons (which ones I don't know) made for showing on a TV set up at McDonald's locations but was never used.
