I have an Obey print from 1997 - "50's Guy", signed and numbered (98/100), am curious how much its worth - anyone know?

So then someone simply overpaid. :) Not everyone understands the difference. Of course, older/more sought after images will command higher prices, relatively speaking.

My thought was that they will command a decent price if signed. Not edition prices, but close. Since they are not made available to public and harder to come by. Still the same process just thinner speckle tone paper.

Here are a few of my favorites all signed

If they ain't #wheatpasted they're pretty much fancy wrapping paper.

These pasters I got had that stank of OG ink. Good printing just like the reg editions. Paper is thin tho. Still fun if you get them for cheap.

The Flint water crisis print came. I'm a little disappointed with the print overall. It's almost like the registration is a little off but it isn't. The design ends up looking like anomalies from poor printing to my eye. IDK, it's fine for what it is but there is a noticeable difference in the overall quality. I know it was done by VGkids and normally I like the product they put out but this just doesn't seem to be quite as tight as expected.

The other part being I can't quite make out any reference to Flint, Michigan, or a water crisis per se, but I knew that going in. Bryn you'll want to hold off on the 1XRun archive sale.

might assume the texture is intentional. water like. displacement of values and highlights. $.02.
