thought about it myself glad somebody snagged it before i got too tempted.
No yellow. Perfect mint. Very happy.
literally was listed 5 minutes between times I checked on something else.
Edit. It has some yellow discolor on the bottom border. Easy frame out. Still stoked.
Double Edit: decided to contact the seller and refund the transaction. looked again at the discoloration (thought it was the camera) and decided it just wasnt for me.
Lesson: READ the description before buying anything on eBay. You're lucky the seller refunded you because he didn't have to. The print was as described.
Did you ask him where that yellowing can from? Was it from the sun/UV? From the plastic sleeve? Was it that way when he bought it?

I asked the seller what caused the yellowing, and also why shipping to Canada is $65, to which he responded:
Hi
I have no idea how the yellow occur.
Shipping international ems is 65.
Postal offices have bumped their shipping prices 2 weeks.
I can't do much about that. The print has to ship flat.
Thanks for your time.
I couldn't commit to buying it without knowing what caused the yellowing.

Ps I can't wait to click this thread and see the timed release info one of these days!
pay via paypal, use credit card,file dispute at the 20 day mark if suspicious. don't deal with noobs. don't trade with noobs. request feedback ahead of time. there are lots of good people 'round here.

I agree. It's just too big. Storage is a nightmare IMO, as well as framing costs, etc.

Probably does not HAVE to be shipped flat, but they were sold flat and packed in cardboard and a protective sleeve. So it would be one of the few that has ever been rolled if he shipped in a tube. I wouldn't ship it rolled without something in blood from the buyer.
