Has anyone received the US released prints yet? It looks like the UK's are #'d out of 200 - and the US may be 150's... ?

How would one distinguish this particular set as the "Obey" set, from the prints sold by Penguin? It's the same run.
Correction, the OG set is out of 150. Don't know why.

Or you could buy the books seperately and sell them with the posters that you bought off of Obeygiant ;)
be sure they are signed books...you'll get more cake.
Following the talk, Fairey will sign copies of the ICA edition of Supply & Demand as well as his redesign of U.K. publications of 1984 and Animal Farm.

Perhaps there's some distinction in the numbers, for example, 1 to 100 from Obey/101 to 200 from Penguin?

Regardless, I don't see why there's a premium in the Obey vs. Penguin set, unless the conditions of the prints after shipping is demonstrably better in the former case.

All I know is that, if I sell the set, I'm making a point that it's the Obey set :P
Well I just received mine today and they are numbered to a run of 150. So what would explain that especially since I got a low number. I think I may have something very special here.

Guess I should have read all the way through...so US all got run of 150 when his site said a run of 200?
