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.

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.

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.
