I will reproduce in my Inevitable catalogue one of those. It seems that the Original Hard Cover Index had a plastic protective bag with Warhol name on it.
Alfredo
Did you find one of the postcards for your book?

Ahhhhh. Thanks Alfredo. BTW, are you ready for payments from us "pre-orderers" yet? I know that's not proper grammar.

Rick regret to dissapoint you (and hope to dissapoint a lot of more people our there!) but even when I told the Catalogue was ready weeks ago I have had to re-arrange about 20 pages since then as new (and great!) stuff has been coming in. I am still waiting for the last (hope so) two magazines that will be included in the Catalogue. I know this new delay will be worth.
AGW the final-final-final mock will be delivered to the printers by mid March and the book will be distributed by mid-end april.
Best -Alfredo

Take your time, my friend. The quality of your commitment will be worth the wait. I guess I am just nervous about missing out on this limited edition. I look forward to a new velvet treasure.

This one was on eBay, and the auction was ended early. I wonder how much it sold for...

I emailed this guy and told him I was a Velvets collector, and asked him if he would let me know how much he sold it for just so I could keep track of values of different Velvet related items. His reply follows:
Dear velvetfan,
Hi,
I decided not to sell it just yet and so I took it off the auction.
I started getting too many offers (up to $4,000.00 so far) and so I think I
will put it up for auction on one of the rock poster auction sites sometime
in the next week or so.

Thanks. Wow! I wonder what the offer would have been had it been in better condition.

I know. I have never seen this one before. He told me he will notify me with a link when he puts it on auction.
