ME! :cry: The main reason was that i thought they might block me from when they have a more legit sale.

That said, i just placed an order about an hour ago, lets see if i get a shipping confirmation tomorrow.

MY GUESS IS THAT THEY DID LIMIT IT TO ONE PER, AND THAT IS WHY YOU SEE THEM BEING ADDED SPURRATICALLY as they sort through the orders.

Not his best, but you wouldn't think so with all the dead freakin' out about it. Decent album cover, but not much past that. Alotta detail, but almost takes away from the rose/eye in the middle...

I don't see anything on the dead forums though. Are they even aware that it went on sale?

these arent "poster people" to say the least...........and I can see why the didn't announce it, create hype hysteria

But if they are still selling them now, they owed the GD a community a heads-up............

Bad stuff going on in this world, don't even think Obama can fix it.

Who knows....there might not be a lot of money in flipping these.

By selling these at $175 instead of say $50 or $75--Emek/GDM immediately pocketed $100-125 of cash--- and cut into some of the immediate profit that some flippers get.

I totaly agree. I'm a wicked Dead Head and a fan of Emek's work...and I saw them go on sale Friday night, but I didn't pick one up. It's interesting and has lots of detail, but I doubt I'd ever hang it.
