You may have noticed that this cover does not have the gold band atop the image as opposed to the cover art featured on the second image inside the plaque.
That’s because “first drops” are always collectors editions. Meaning, that there will be absolutely no reprints of this original “gold” version.
What is a first-edition?
In the simplest terms, a first edition is the first commercially distributed version of a book or publication.
For the purposes of modern collectible books, first edition is short hand for the first printing of the first edition of a work.
A first edition is historically printed based on the number of attendees at its cover launch with its coveted cover star in attendance.
For , only 30 in the world of the “gold” collectors first editions are printed.
The second but “first edition” commercial drop is available for mass print after the first collectors edition is release. It is considered a first edition that holds significant value with the gold collectors edition holding the highest value.

The second but “first edition” drop will be available in select stores, businesses, hotels, resorts, cafes, and restaurants in the cities of Las Vegas, Miami, and Manhattan Beach with a potential distribution of Chicago, New York, and Atlanta, complimentary to the public who wishes to read and collect them.
