That is how they come from Mondo, and I think that is how almost everyone around here would have done it as well. All three together should be a problem if the person knows how to roll them properly.

I have seen a lot of these (and the Moss prints) where the description says that the person never opened the tube, never unrolled them, never looked at them etc. but still says they are new/mint. They stopped being new the second that Mondo rolled them up. And if you don't open them, you don't know if they are damaged, and you can't get replacements from Mondo (lots of donkey flippers out there).

I've been told that Mondo has sent out unnumbered prints in the past from editions that were listed as numbered. So I guess this could happen.
I haven't gotten mine so I can be sure, but I know that sometimes Mondo numbers them in a place that is hard to see. It took me a bit to find the numbers on my Moss set. So I would say look around.

All that being said, if they seller said they were mint and numbered, and if they are not, you cant return them for your $$$. eBay and PayPal will side with you. Then send Mitch the info of the person that sold them to you, so they can be stuck with damaged prints.

edit - all this should probably be moved to the release discussion.

So I took a good look and can't find any numbering. At least by hand. I wrote to Mondo to see what they have to say about it. Be glad to post any news I hear back.

I should also add that the prints look legit. All the metalics shine and they don't look like photo copies. So I guess I'll see as more of you receive yours. I appreciate the comments and knew this was the best source for help and feedback. So thanks again.

There were 875 so it might be a minute.
Hey gonzo, I think he was referring to how someone bought on ebay and has received the *variants* when no one has said theirs have shipped yet and no one had been able to pick up the variants with the regulars a few days ago because they hadn't been numbered yet. Hmmm, even more suspicious that meskell's variant set was unnumbered...meskell, keep us informed please...

There was a member who had the variant set because he picked it up in person.

But how could someone pick up an unnumbered set? Somebody would realize the error when they picked it up. That can't be how meskell's ebay seller got his variant set.

O.k here's the deal. I haven't got the full scoop from Mondo although we're in communication. But according to the seller, who I purchased the prints from off ebay, he works for the company that licenses out the rights to Mondo to print Star Wars related material. And the many other franchises that the company holds the rights to.

So, for those that haven't already guessed based on that information, these prints were proofs that Mondo sent out to the company (Mondo hasn't confirmed that with me) and on to Lucas for approval. So that is what I believe I received. Proofs. And from what I have gathered from the communication that the seller and I have exchanged Mondo has also subsequently been in communication with the seller. To the extent that the seller has already refunded my purchase.

I was lucky that the seller didn't seem to have anything to hide and was more than happy to make things right for me. And I have to add that Mondo was extremely helpful in this situation and it's obvious that they care quite a bit about their products and the authenticity of such.

So the lesson I learned was to never assume that a print is numbered just because that is how it was advertised for release. Better off asking if it is and then asking for a pic if still wary. Because it is now obvious to me that this wasn't and isn't an isolated incident.

Hope everyone's prints arrive soon and safe.

Shouldn't the Regular AP edition's original price be $375?
