I would have and I would have felt different because then I'd know what to expect, knowing that not all three of them are elite. I bought with the knowledge of Stout and Delort and someone who was in the same echelon as those two artists.

When you're blind expecting "elite" artists you think of people who command $5-10,000 and are very selective with who they work with. Kako does not fall into that category by a long shot.
Well man, I think I speak for everyone and the gallery when I say, we feel really bad for you.

People opening tubes and picking up prints at the gallery.

Why? Because elite has the meaning of being the best of the best and that's what is expected?

This hobby seems to cause you a lot of unneeded stress. Perhaps it's time to move on to something else?

nah, cause you got your moneys worth and youre still crying and bitching. I am sure HCG will get your input on who you feel is elite the next time they do this. :lol: what a joke.

Literally nobody has not complained about getting a Kako print in the Elite Edition. Not one person has said they like it and are keeping it. Which is the joke?

They could have just sold the Delort and Stout for the same price and no one would be complaining. Although obviously everyone would be complaining about not being able to buy it. It was a blind buy, it could have turned out much worse.
