I always feel kind of weird about GID stuff. Everything I've read says that if you display a GID poster, the GID wears off within about five years. Amirite?

EDIT: This is all hypothetical, I'm too broke to blow the extra hundo.

We get a Drew Struzan art print for The Thing, people bitch.

We get rules clearly spelled out for us, people bitch.

A good chunk of EBers are PBing and selling these to other board members AT COST, people bitch about flippers buying all the copies.
I like you man, but you live close enough that you can make all it to all these cool events that Mondo throws. A lot of us can't. The amount of people poster buddying is a fraction of the number of people who actually want to hang this print on their wall. It's just frustrating when it is a print this cool. I wish they enforced the one print per person and not one of each per person. A lot more people would be able to enjoy it.

I heard 5 years is a bare minimum. My only worry is that in 30 years the GID ink will become discolored. Anyone have info regarding that?

not if you use the proper UV protection. My Emek Week/Lips has been hanging for almost 6 years and is still just as vibrant as the day I framed it. (especially every once in a while when I clean the glass it seems to glow a little brighter)

The people bitching about people bitching make more noise than the people bitching about the "drop".
