From my orders, they completely changed how they are packaging prints. My first order was as most people described, no wide kraft paper, just some shoved in the end, but I did order shirts and the tube was in a box. My final order was delivered and packaged similar to how Jay Ryan does it, wide kraft paper and the rolled print/kraft taped to the end of the tube. two thumbs up for the change. got really lucky that my first 2 orders came mint, but i also ordered shirts, pins, and other stuff.
When I first saw the jpeg for this Beckett print, I thought, interesting but didnt think I have to have this. When I started seeing detailed pics, my interest really started to peak. Then I heard Ben L from BoNA printed it and I had to have it. Not sure what he meant by the comment about his grandfathers ashes (maybe they're mixed in the ink? dont mean to offend but that would be pretty epic for Ben imo.) Now I have it in person and it is an absolute masterpiece, and well deserved of AoTW. STarting to think about framing ideas. Dont want to get to wild and distract from the print, so I might go with something basic like white outer mat and blue and/or red/crimson inner mats.
Would love to see how people framed this one. Please post pics if you framed it.

Funny, mine was supposed to have the Beckett and the Spusta. I got the Beckett and the Hunter. They must be keeping whatever they want and filling the rest with Hunters.Charlie23 wrote:The postman brought mine today, well packaged and survived the journey to the UK but contents not entirely what I was expecting!

You got the best end of that deal. Most limited SC-specific screen print with classic Dead image vs litho in larger edition. Love Marq's and wish it was a screen but Hunter>Spusta IMHO.noeldaddy wrote:Funny, mine was supposed to have the Beckett and the Spusta. I got the Beckett and the Hunter.

The Hunter will stand the test of time better than all the rest, IMHO. The only possible downside of the Hunter is that is was for the NEXT TO LAST set of shows; not the LAST set of shows. This may well play against it having the most appreciation in the long run, but I truly feel it'll be the grail of the last 5 shows. My $0.02
Not to downplay the other posters; there are several classic images represented.

Absolutely. The large majority wont care about this because it was from SC, the appreciation will mostly be from collectors. imoRick_a_c wrote:The Hunter will stand the test of time better than all the rest, IMHO.

Hello -is the merchant store also refunding sales on this poster due to overselling? I ask because I bought one on eBay and clearly the seller is waiting for it to be shipped. Are orders still being shipped for a poster that sold out in minutes?
I got so screwed on the China Cat that were both refunded today.

Rule of thumb: never buy anything from a seller who doesn't have what they're selling.carousel68 wrote:Hello -is the merchant store also refunding sales on this poster due to overselling?

solid advise rick.
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

Solid advice indeed, but I suspect our friend here didn't know the eBay seller didn't have it in hand. I say ask for an eBay refund and just buy one that you know is in good condition from someone who already has it in hand.
