Description
This kills me. I must let go of my original Guided By Voices Propeller LP, #345/500. The jacket features art hand-silkscreened by Tobin Sprout and the back is hand-numbered by Robert Pollard out of 500. It is extremely rare to find these at all, let alone still in shrink, but I've NEVER seen one for sale with the original signed letter by "manager for life" Pete Jamison.
I believe I am the 2nd owner. I have never played it. It looks to be in perfect condition, but I am not a professional record grader/collector. This is an "unfound" copy, not currently listed on www.gbvdb.com. US only, sorry.

From Wikipedia:
Conceived initially by Robert Pollard as a farewell album in the face of years of obscurity and mounting debt, the album ended up "propelling" the band to a higher-profile status and influence, affording a lasting position in the indie rock canon.
The cover art also contributed to the album's legend. Initially self-released only in a limited vinyl run of 500, each copy of the album received a unique, handmade cover. Decorated by band members, friends and family with myriad methods such as screen-printing, hand-painting, and affixing various found objects (including an empty six-pack carton of Natural Light) to plain white sleeves, these albums grew in value over the years and as of 2005, were known to have sold for prices in the thousands of dollars.
Message me for questions. Rock and roll.
Sleeve and letter has some slight creasing
