Gotta say after looking at all the metals in person, the Cybercycle is the most amazing IMHO. The colors simply pop off the silver. I'm in awe of that print and can't wait to have some time to put together a puzzle. Thanks again for all the support!

Not that I'm expecting to get a metal from the lottery draw, but if I do, has anyone ever framed a metal poster? I assume you treat the metal as a color of stock... i.e., as a visible border... same as if it were colored paper stock, correct? And you would still want to mat or use spacers as part of framing to keep the ink from being in contact with the glass?

i am pretty sure everyone who ticks the box for the chance to purchase the metal print is in the draw, meaning the person to purchase the last jigsaw and tick the box has just as much chance as the first
art is the only justification for pain :)

Looks like about 1/3 of the 170 are still available.
Selling MUCH slower than I would have guessed.

That's partly why we are waiting a few weeks to announce the winners. Though two out of the three puzzles last year sold out in under 30 minutes, we weren't sure what to expect with the current economy and wanted to give it a little time. I believe we finally cutoff the Om Mantra drawing (which some are now available BTW) a week or so after the on-sale date.

Rick_a_, if framing you always want a spacer between art and glass. If I were framing, I would definitely expose as much of the sheet metal border as possible as it gives a much better indication that it was printed on metal.
