I see an incredibly rare 'baby hand' hand-stamped Think Tank promo is up for auction on ebay (nothing to do with me BTW).
It's being sold with a copy of the petrol head version. I wonder what they will go for? Maybe £800 for both?
It's a nice little banksy visual pun

Haha, I'm watching this auction too, just to see the final price! Anyone know more about this baby hand version of the cover?

No way this went for anywhere close to 400 quid; I've never even seen this artwork and I'm a poindexter enough to be on a Blur forum in the 2020s.
The Paris Hilton CD single is going for 1000 USD and I don't even know what Banksy had to do it with it, but something. I can imagine that was far more published, probably a lot less held onto though...
(by the way, this is a better set of art than the absolute stinker Think Tank is. Banksy sucks. middle-class faux-intelligentsia, obvious politics. you know an edgy artist isn't edgy when your parents are even over him. file under: Jamie Oliver, moving to the sea or the country.)

it would have been sold away from ebay which is why the auction ended early

Huh. I got the gas pump one, but never knew of a different version.
