There are 144 sellers with Red x89 for sale. The final Red x89 being eliminated
from inventories cast great doubt on the existence of Red x89 and contacting
that many sellers in the hopes that they will all change is a job for a fool.
Would it be possible to just quietly change the XRef?

I'm seeing one set that still shows x89/Red, that being
 
Set No: 8496 Name: Desert Hammer
* 		8496-1 (Inv) Desert Hammer
510 Parts, 2008
Sets: Racers: Power Racers

But I doubt that accounts for the large availability. It is more likely a case
of poor ability to relate a physical rubber band against the appropriate catalog
entry, and picking the wrong one. The same issue could cloud the accuracy of
those doing set inventories.

I have corrections pending for that set.
