I'm mainly posting to give a heads up that this scan:
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/primordial/2-RI-B/phtqipw
Isn't the 1:25 Yuko Shimizu virgin, or a Yuko Shimizu cover at all.
But I think what maybe happened here is explained by this article:
https://bleedingcool.com/comics/diamond-sent-out-one-retailers-exclusive-cover-to-all-comic-shops/
Black Cape Comics' exclusice Zu Orzu cover was mistakenly sent by Diamond to pretty much every store except Black Cape, in place of a 1:25 variant.
I'm assuming that it was this Yuko Shimizu virgin that stores were expecting, only to find the Zu Orzu variant instead.
In the meantime, I submitted a missing variant for the real Black Cape Comics "Exclusive" that is now floating out there. I found one at a local store.
Also in the meantime, Image is printing a new version of the Zu Orzu cover (so that Black Cape truly has something exclusive), which will be sent out by Black Cape along with the virgin version which Black Cape told me was not sent out to stores by mistake.
I reached out to a few online sellers to see if any of them actually have in-hand the Yuko Shimizu cover that they have listed for sale. Only one has gotten back to me so far, but they said that they do not; they then pulled the listing. But assuming the Yuko Shimizu virgin does exist somewhere, here's the scan:

Thanks! And no problem!
For whatever it's worth, all of the retailers I reached out to have now gotten back to me, and all have confirned that none of them actually got the Shimizu cover despite having it listed for sale. Ironically enough, Black Cape did get the Shimizu virgin 1:25. So it's out there... But it'll be interesting to see how many ever surface and where.

There's been an update / closure on this saga, and I've submitted a new variant. (I'm posting here because I previously submitted this variant and it seems to have been rejected.)
There are now three versions of the Zu Orzu cover for Primordial #2: A) The original trade version with the red logo, limited to 400, which was intended to be a Black Cape exclusive, but was accidentally sent to all retailers, B) a new, updated trade version with a gold logo, limited to 400 and sold only by Black Cape, and C) a virgin version, limited to 300, sold only by Black Cape.
The site has A & C listed, but I just submitted the newer variant that was correctly sold exclusiely by Black Cape. Hopefully it gets added this time.
For whatever it's worth, all copies of B & C were sold by Black Cape (and only by Black Cape) with a numbered COA, while A was just scattered into the wild.
Here's a photo of A & B side by side:
