If the object of your desire is "readily" available but it's just a matter of getting enough cash (could be hard work, I know) then, although it being a score, to me it's not necessarily a Grail.
If they were really grails we wouldn't have a thread because the Grail has never been found. If its the person's most sought after print and they finally got it they belong here.

Rarity/availability should come into play. Otherwise: http://forum.expressobeans.com/viewtopi ... 32&t=10755

for me, grail is=
high demand/ low run/often released before I began collecting/ takes a lot of money to convince another individual to part with it

I'm not as heady as a lot of collectors on here so my grails are obvious Cinema items like classic original one sheets
(but mostly late '00 Stouts)-
'Blade Runner'
'The Thing'
'Remember the Alamo'
'QTsix'
'Best of QT Fest'

Ken Taylors- "Alien II"

The most fine art-ish/non Cinema I go is Ashley Wood, who, to me is a Grail maker. I am ISO anything by him, namely= 'Sorrento Assault' 'After the War' 'WAR FIXERS'

Finally! And I can thank an undercooked Chicken Pot Pie for this - I'll wager there's not many on here that can say that. Woke up at 4 am to start off a bout of food poisoning. While sitting on the iron throne, I received an Instagram notification that it was available. And now after a couple hurl sessions and rivers of diarrhea, she's all mine. :pint:

Quite the grail indeed. Did you move it for another piece?
Just saw this. Never on here anymore. Used half for bills and the other half for this QBic acrylic on canvas.
