The silver foil one with the Beardsly-style drawing is a difficult one to find. I only found a copy finally this year. The same dealer had two copies ,so I have a trade copy now as well.
The silverfoil series on Canadian Daffodil label is real collectable in my opinion:
1/ because they are all foil, so its a bit of a challange to find copies with least ringwear
2/ the are unified by having this art-nouveau/Beardsly artwork
3/ at least half in the series are prog/proggish - 2 or 3 Nice titles,Duncan Brown "Give Me ,Take You". I forget the rest. (Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake")
Daffodil got the rights from UK Immediate Label to reissue these in the 70s.

As you can see Twseel, the Dean-ish Nice foldout coverart which I mention is not shown there. There are some secrets still kept from search engines.

^ I think it's worse. The ciggy cover isn't great either, but I thought it was it was kinda clever at the time. I have a certain disdain for bad airbrush art. There was so much of it back in the '70's. Today's equivalent is bad Photoshop art, of which there is also an abundance.

Concerning Cig Mirage vs Airbrush Mirage. Pretty much this.
