Got mine today, after the horror stories I was expecting the worst, but it's not bad. 1 cap intact, the other pushed in. Just a few minor creases along left boarder, should flatten out and will frame out for sure. could have been worse. I have never seen a tube this big! :shock:

Pretty sure UP packed them as the tape holding on the good cap says "Upper Playground" on it with walrus logo and return address is theres...

Well I finally got a response from Upper Playground (automated I believe) that they opened a "case" from my damaged Obama print...interesting note, my case # was in the 50's, now I am wondering if that is 50+ cases just for the Obama, or for the company as a whole. That would be a hell of a lot of unhappy customers if it was just for the Obamas!!

This should have been a silkscreen.

Mine arrived with only one cap on it. Figured UPS opened it because the tube was the size of a bazooka. Poster is in perfect condition though.

Just got mine in the mail and the tube was perfect, taped ends and everything, print was mint. Guess I was lucky.

lol

Got mine a while back, and think its pretty nice. I do wish it was s silkscreen, but then it woulda been $200 like the rest of the UP Obama's. No thanks at $200.

Just got my Mac Obama poster today, I was suprised that it has the Fairey Obama Hope Offset printed on the back side. It is signed and numbered out of 200 like the rest of the mac's. The Mac side is completely normal, the fairey side has printers color marks. Anyone else get a double sided poster like this? I don't know which side I like best! Coooool! i am just suprised that he would sign and number a double sided poster as part of the regular edition.
