WOW - if the yellow version goes for £110 wonder how much the other sleeve variants are worth?

People with more money than sense again. There are a 1000 of this sleeve? Its a crazy world. Again if someone wants to pay a £100 for that single (as great as it is) they can have mine, although mine isn't yellow. What's the breakdown on the colours?

:eek: :eek: :eek:

This is crazy, 110 for the yellow (orange) sleeve, although smaller numbers than the black/white sleeve exist, still not that rare I think.

Agree with Flagg, what would be the price for the rare sleeve variations then? :?

Re number of copies, pls take in mind that the total number of this edition is 1,000, this already includes the sleeve variations, but I've seen outnumbered copies as well (e.g. I have no. 1,200 of 1,000)

There is also a black/blue sleeve version II, gloss/laminated, with stamped number (of 1000) on the rear.
Is this the place I used to know as Fatherland?

Unfortunately the seller only ships to the UK, I asked him on behalf of a friend re shipping to Germany but that was declined (see Q&A) :?

WoW - now that is a rare one, perhaps the rarest (other than the gatefold). Colour looks very similar to the Silence Gatefold red? does anyone own both?

I have both, the Floorshow red sleeve (see my above list) and the Silcence is Platinum red gatefold. The colour of the Floorshow sleeve is a light red, whereas the colour of the Silence gatefold sleeve is a deeper (more dark) red.

Thanks, Neil. Unfortunately, I saw your offer too late, but wouldn't have bid so much anyway as the condition of the item didn't look very promising :?

Agree as well (see also my above post). However forgot to mention that the item is extremely rare and hasn't been on Ebay for years (if ever), so congrats to the buyer
