they only have one thing like this band or this print, or this artist that means alot to them.

i get that excitement of grabbing a print you really really want.

but it really does take time and knowing what you want out of the hobby to not be upset if you don't score.

i kinda like having ISOs. fun little thing to track down. and if you wait long enough maybe you will get a really good deal.
For their concert prints Phish puts out run sizes of over 750 that sellout instantly for the 2 artists most closely tied to the band's history, Welker and Pollock. Either one of these artists fart anything Phish related and Phish fans gobble it up instantly. Just how it is.

Add to that the ever growing Welker Print community and people who couldn't care less about any of this stuff but realize this thus knew these were gonna flip and you get what u saw today. Welker could have added 500 more to the overall edition size and this was still gonna sellout in minutes
Raise your hand if you learned anything from the above. :tumbleweed:

as for order numbers... welker had that foo fighters drop on the site so doubt maze started at 1,000. maybe 1,000 + whatever that foo fighters drop was? just a guess.
That's a good point, I guess it's an aggregate number for all sales.

WiFi sucked so I missed, but I came back flushed and shaking so at least the rest of the courtroom thinks I had diarrhea."
That's actually pretty funny if true. Must have been a pretty liberal judge to excuse them to go to the bathroom during selection.

Reminds me of the time I wore my 'Pro Guns, Pro God, Pro Life' t shirt to jury duty and still got selected for a trial.

Yes, the internet. The place where people dump their emotional baggage onto others because of the inherent convenient privacy it offers.
