I just looked and it sure is.  Tiny little thing on the back of the booklet.  Shows you how much I care about paperwork.

Some of the old pentium mmx and pentium 2 stickers are not made of paper. They're more like thin pieces of aluminimum, and was machine pressed. So when you go over it, you can feel the logo.

Silicon Lottery is a great place to get high quality silicon, as long as you don't mind paying for it. I got my 5960X from them, payed extra for the highest bin and haven't looked back. If you don't feel like binning yourself like @done12many2 does and you want guaranteed good silicon they are just about the best option. Just be prepared to pay for that binning process.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand knowing how well a CPU can overclock can save you the frustration of a poor overclocker. But then you never get the rush of a great one. Hmmm.

I guess the moral to our stories is that you can bin yourself or buy one pre-binned.  Either way, you're paying more for the performance.

I have to admit that the way I'm going about finding great chips is kinda cheating and outside the means of most, but I still get that rush when I find it because there's definitely a lot of work that goes into doing so.

I haven't gone through the numbers you have, but I did have to go through 5 980ti from EVGA. That was a giant pain in the arse
