Just grabbed a box of this during lunch from a local photo store. $11.99 for 25 sheets (8x10) and this seems to be the premium paper. Is this the same emulsion as the standard RC papers? Should I go back and clean out the shelves at that price? They had a LOT of it!

I figured for the price it was worth trying. They are a pretty big store and move stock, so this isn't old stuff.
 
So in the U.S. its a bargain at $48 for a box of 100. Just out of curiosity what would you pay for a 100 sheet box of 8x10 of Ilford RC MGIV?

That's a bargain.
Here in the US regular MGIV RC is about $60 online for 100 8x10 and my local store it is almost $80.
Portfolio is easily $80 online for 100 8x10.
 
It is a good deal. That is about half what I would pay at Freestyle. I'll bet they think it is the single weight version. Or maybe it is old and has not sold well at all for them.
 
Thanks for all the replies. Cash it tight but I'm going to be in that area again tomorrow I might have to go back and buy a few more boxes. Perhaps this one was just mislabled and I got lucky? I'm not sure if I even looked at any of the other packages of Portfolio paper. I do know the regular RC paper was around $19 for 25 sheets. If it's truely the same emulsion and on heavier stock this is a score!!!

Local camera shop by me got $25 for a box!!!
