James Jean is keeping the 'shipping giant prints flat for no particular reason' game alive.
Yea he's the man and thats a whole different ballgame. If we could have our business just run on 1-2 prints a quarter, I would probably hand deliver them to anyone in the 5 boroughs and clean your house while im there.

Wouldn’t need to fuss over tape flaps either.

hey it happened the first time i ever bought from you guys. there was a print that was missing from the order. Josh drove the print directly to me that night and dropped it off. no house cleaning though. but you can send him anytime to clean.

I think the first thing I bought from BNG was Raid 71's 2001 print from their GID show. Had to be close to 10 years ago now.

Joe's offered the car service to me before but I was too busy cleaning my house. Now I just feel dumb.

Coming up 9 years since I went to my first BNG show. Always remembered that I got hooked cuz of good people in line and the BNG team actually talking to people. Fan friendly back then, still is now despite years of email and FB abuse. :P

Think my first bottleneck buys were the pez prints. Those prints were awesome.

Those cricket bats are super cool.

First print we ever released. Did a screening event here in Brooklyn. Didn't even have a gallery yet. Cool part is that still work with Chris after 9 years.

Please make sure they're numbered. The UTBNYC/BNG PEZ Black Market of unnumbered prints is definitely an issue

Interesting to look back at my first BNG purchase—it was Justin Van Genderen's "Tears in Rain" GID print, 2013. Still have it, still like it. The JVG print I have on the wall right now is his GID Vandamm House, which I think was also from BNG. And his set of Star Wars planets must have been among the first prints I ever bought—2010.
