It will be an A/P singned and numbered by Brad. That pretty much goes with any print you buy from an artist.

I think the blue one has a decent chance to be signed by Liam as well...although I wouldn't be at all surprised if it weren't...

I doubt it. Danny Clinch took the photo for the first blue EV poster and it wasn't signed by him.
His name will be printed at the bottom but not signed.

well, it's definitely not theft from the artist. BK determines his own prices, and he sells his allotment at that price to whomever buys them, so he's not losing out...it's the same thing as scalping tickets...there are lots of problems with it, but stealing from the artists isn't one of them, because they were never going to see that money in the first place.

but judging from this thread...it looks like everyone who wanted one was able to get it with minimal problems, which is awesome. And also means everyone who bought one to flip isn't going to make much, if any, money on these. The poster market is dead these days anyway...

Agreed. It SUCKS, but these posters only cost $50 and $60 respectably, and if you missed out and someone else has one for sale, lucky you. Really, you arent paying $300 like some prints...you MAY be paying double, but who cares? I pay alot of $ for shit I want, and I am glad the stuff has value...which is determined by supply and demand. If these were not worth anything, would we all have paid $50 or 60 for them????

I just picked up an EVeL at 2:19. W00t! Someone must have had it in their cart and not paid for it.

I personally wish they wouldn't keep expanding the print runs...I also like to have these posters appreciate in value. Unfortunately, that rarely happens these days. Most of the 2008 PJ posters can be had for less than face value...even the value of the MSG has dropped significantly. I guess it's the bad economy combined w/ the sheer number they are printing.

I expect these APs will settle in around the $75 mark, esp. the Rocket. But when you take into account the original cost ($68), then fees from both paypal and ebay, there is no money to be made. The plus side to the recent drop in value is that fewer people buy them to flip, and everyone who wants one can get one. I have no problem w/ that. I buy them primarily for sentiment, and only buy the ones for shows I've been to...

Well, the 182 was specific to the Big Business poster...I am PRETTY SURE the EV posters are #d/ 100...

D, this isn't NEARLY as bad as markups on EMEK and Fairey prints, those go for $300+ instantly...Personally, I would happily pay $150 to get one of these if I didn't get them from Brad...but I did, so...

flyinwhole313

I am actually surprised Brad hasn't popped up here yet to comment. he usually does on release days...I just wanna know the print run on the EV posters...All the others in my collection are 100 from Brad, I can't see raising it now...

I view this one much like the batmobile poster form the last mini tour ... and if value preservation is your thing ... note that ...

1) only 4 of those A/Ps have been sold
2) the last one sold for $150

that said ... enjoy the print, drop the poster 401k plan ...

This thought comes to mind... How much was the Into The Wild vinyl through 10C??? Does anyone want to give it to me for cost for reasons of "not being a flipper" ???

well said, I completely agree. It's nice if they appreciate in value, but that's just a bonus, not the point.

hahaha...good point...there are plenty of people who get angry at the poster flippers, but don't see selling the ITW for $200+ as flipping...I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere, though...nobody gets mad at a grocery store for buying a can of beans for .50 and then "flipping" them for .75.

I got my Evil poster.. happy with only 1, I don't need more than that.
