How rare is the 1972 close-cut with the peel slowly and see version? I have one with an unpeeled intact banana

Sterling Morrison cardholder’s receipt for $12.24 from Max’s Kansas City:
The receipt is dated 1/15 (January 15th), but no year is given. Taking into account Sterling’s known home addresses, the Velvets’ gig schedule, and the NYC local tax rate changes, I have concluded with some degree of certainty that the receipt must date from January 1969.
Adjusted for inflation, $12.24 in 1969 is worth approximately $98.78 as of August 2022.

Sterling clearly added a $2.00 tip, but either he or the waitress chose to skip a step and just list the total. I’ve probably done the same thing at some point. It’s not so unusual.

def one of the rarest vinyls - 1968 stock mono Canadian WL/WH - never sold on Discogs before, but only in G+ condition, so not much use to listen to, and hard to value. Not something I would want to pay $450 for, but in VG condition I might have been tempted...
