The collaboration had already started a week ago during a physical sale of these magazines on the website of Rolling Stone. The 2,500 first buyers were honored to receive a 20-page limited edition with the front cover of the Bored Ape printed on the back of a very famous Rolling Stone magazine cover.

Since yesterday, November 10, the auctions have been underway and will last for five days. For the moment, the offers for this special work exceed 12 Ethers (ETH) or 56,888 dollars at the time of writing.
In addition, another similar cover was launched by the American magazine, still in collaboration with BAYC.

That of Rolling Stone also had the right to his syringe, giving a much more chaotic version of the magazine and close to the universe of the NFT project.
