Moss has been quite vocal about not wanting high edition sizes, which makes this release even more bizarre.
Very few people can resist the cash temptation.Codeblue wrote:Moss has been quite vocal about not wanting high edition sizes, which makes this release even more bizarre.
I am just saying that Moss (probably the highest coveted Mondo artist) and Batman Rises (huge movie) that this release was strictly to gauge an approximate max amount of buyers. So, now that they know nearly 10k people are watching their releases that they can make better approximations on edition sizes. My 5000+ was most likely wrong but regardless I wouldn't doubt edition sizes being 700 reg and 300 var by this time next year for popular movies. Just my opinion on why there was a time-release. Could be them just wanting to spread the mondo name...but I doubt there was not a business motive behind the release.machination wrote: And by "every poster", you must mean "every Moss poster".

I am guessing Mondo time-released this print to gauge how many people are willing to buy the posters, they probably will increase the edition sizes by 100-200 maybe more because they now know that 5000+ people will probably want every poster that they release.burndisneyland wrote:I really don't understand the desire for something to simply be limited other then elitism - look what I've got and you haven't.

I think he has said specifically that edition sizes are something he takes very seriously. Which allows for the option of the occasional timed/large edition, even if it is only once or twice a year. Double Ghost would be precedent for this.Codeblue wrote:Moss has been quite vocal about not wanting high edition sizes, which makes this release even more bizarre.

It was pretty good
Have a life and couldn't land a print? It was up for 24 hours.

i'd venture to say that there's probably only a handful of people who REALLY WANT the poster...the other 9000 are nothing more than venture capitalist merely exploiting consumers, who actually have a life and couldn't land a print when it dropped. Thus, playing said emotions on the market of perceived scarcity.
So a simple solution...pass any temptation to purchase an over priced piece of paper, where the seller is listed in Austin, TX.
