Key Facts

Unreleased variant

Supposedly the only copies of these were received by creators on the book and there is an estimated print count of under 100

Two variations were produced, one with the title in blue and one without the title (virgin)

An eBay auction closed on December 6, 2022 for $2,000 with one bid - values will be withheld until more data becomes available

⚠️ Buyer Beware: The concern that this book represents is lack of transparency of how many were actually printed and although some were distributed, there are more that have yet to be distributed or listed for sale

In March 2024 we saw the first 9.8 sale of the Virgin Sketch cover for $1,210
