My most regrettable purchase was a mystery tube. Never again.

I still like those... And I think that Brave print kicks ass if you are (or hopefully your daughter is) remotely into Brave.

This thing cost me like $120. I even went so far as to get someone to PB it for me because I was afraid I'd miss out. As far as I know it's still available. I've tried selling it for vastly under what I paid for it, offering for around $40, and have been unable to sell it. I don't hate it, but it's 24x36 when it didn't need to be that big.

The image is pretty great but I didn't really enjoy the film that much (and I have no daughter).

Knew well before the drop that I don't care for the KAWS' covering their eyes/faces.


Also, I very much enjoy my Very Little Helper. First framed print you see when walking into my house. Most other cats love Astro Boy too, different strokes.

Thought it looked cool. Got it in hand and realized it wasn't hand drawn art but merely a photo. Sold it.

I was able to score an AP direct from PCC. Looked great in the jpeg but in hand I literally despised this print. It was so black you could hardly see any detail on the left side of the house. I also wasn't a fan of how Myers was drawn. Biggest disappointment in print collecting so far. Sold it.
