Michael Everett Posters IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 12:38 pm
On several occasions over the past couple of years, I have recommended to Michael that he seriously consider numbering many of his posters that were not previously numbered. This would give collectors a sense of how many were actually printed, and it will assure collectors that no additional posters will ever be printed. The challenge in a project like this is obviously the logistics, and up until now Michael was simply not able to commit his time and energies to such an endeavor. Luckily, that has now changed. Michael's health is greatly improved and stable, and he has the printing records necessary to accurately complete this project.
Michael will be visiting me June 12-14, and he has asked if I would help him accumulate his posters from collectors (so that he may number them), and then make sure that they are shipped back properly. I will also be helping him to verify the condition of each poster (packages will not be opened until he arrives). All he asks is that you send along the cost of return/insured shipping. There is no fee or charge for numbering these posters.
Michael will sign and number the posters on the back. The signature on each piece will be recorded with the accompanying number. For instance 3/50, 14/50 & 33/50 might be signed "Michael Everett". 6/50 & 22/50 might be signed "Michael R. Everett". 10/50, 20/50 & 40/50 might be signed "M. Everett", and so on. Michael will keep a spreadsheet on each poster (I will be his backup) that shows which signatures correspond to which numbers. This should prevent any forgeries or "independent" numbering systems. All one needs to do when purchasing an Everett poster (from the following list) in the future is to contact Michael (or myself) with the signature and number on the back to verify the authenticity.
At this time, Michael would be happy to number the following posters. These are posters that Michael printed himself, so he knows the print quantities.

There are many more posters that were printed by outside sources where Michael believes he knows the edition run, but needs to confirm it with the bands, merchandisers and manufacturers before he numbers them. When he does get confirmation, we will immediately post that list here as well.
Michael's offer to number his posters extends into perpetuity (as long as he is physically able to do so), so it is certainly not mandatory to send your posters ahead of June 12. After June 12, you are welcome to send your posters directly to Michael. He will sign and return them as time permits, but will try to do so immediately. Please give Michael prior notice of what you are sending, and when. If you decide to send them ahead of June 12, they will be headed back your way within 10 days of being numbered. I know that Michael would prefer to do as many of these as he could when he is here (he is flying here at his own expense, it is important to him), but it is not a requirement.
For those of you that do not know me, I run Sixties Posters (www.sixtiesposters.com). I have been dealing with collectors and artists for years. I think most of the board (if not all) of eb are familiar with me and the integrity with which I conduct my business. I can assure you that your posters will be safe with me (I handle hundreds of thousands of dollars in consignment posters every couple of months), and that they will be safely shipped back to you in a timely manner.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 1-800-575-1967, or feel free to send a PM to either myself or Michael. I have not discussed in any detail (in this forum) the logistics of getting the posters sent here (or back to you). That is obviously a very important detail, so if you are seriously interested in this opportunity, please contact me.
Thanks, Jim
