Pop artist Richard Hamilton designed the record sleeve[65] in collaboration with McCartney.[163] Hamilton's design was in stark contrast to Peter Blake's vivid cover art for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and consisted of a plain white sleeve. The band's name, in Helvetica,[164] was crookedly blind embossed slightly below the middle of the album's right side.[165] Later vinyl record releases in the US showed the title in grey printed (rather than embossed) letters.[166] Each copy of the record featured a unique stamped serial number, "to create", in Hamilton's words, "the ironic situation of a numbered edition of something like five million copies".[167] The first four numbered copies were given to the members of the band, making number 0000005 the first copy sold publicly; in 2008, it was purchased for 19,201 on eBay.[168] In 2015, Ringo Starr's copy, number 0000001, sold for a world record $790,000 at auction.[169]
