Would you guys pay 300 for this print? Just trying to make up my mind on whether i should pay that kind of money for this print ?
Would you be willing to risk not being able to find this cheaper than $300 after the drop?
If this is the print you most want ever, and you can afford $300, I'd say to grab it, as this is likely the cheapest it will be. Sell 2 prints you currently have and will never hang to offset the shipping/customs fees.

This
As discussed with another member, when mother! was released, I was shocked that it was such an easy +1. It actually sat up on the page for a good minute for an edition of 100 by a popular artist. Now that the print has at least doubled in aftermarket I couldn't be happier this is timed, as the drop would have been substantially harder and more sought after.
Ya'll see the leprechaun say yaaaaaa!

Yeah, I don't think you're ever gonna get cheaper than the drop, especially because a hookup price will still factor in additional shipping. Plus getting it direct makes it easier to deal with damage/replacements. People were already prepping for the possibility of paying $300ish for this anyway if it was gonna be similar to the mother! drop.

Should be the biggest factor here.

I'm glad SOMEBODY here is thinking of the poor, poor aftermarket.

Buy a 27x40 one sheet and mat just the title and place JJ giclee above it or just cut out title from litho to use.
