What would be more rare to have if one wanted to try and aquire one of these posters?
One of the #'d out of 200 ones?
Or one of the AP's #'d out of 50?
Which one would you ravenous poster collectors buy?
what is the difference with the AP prints? Just different numbering?
I know this sounds like a dumb question, but the non-AP's are signed too I thought.
nothing's different about them.
Only thing different seems to be the numbering. All the other lettering, signatures, colors etc are all the same. I have no idea why I got an AP, I got mine from the sale on Maxx242's site.

I would say check your order # - it seems to me that Maxx242 felt bad about the oversell and sold more of his personal 25 AP prints to customers that wouldn't have "made the cut" otherwise (first 200).
I was order #130 and (if all follows as it appears in the Porch forum) should get 170/200 - will find out for sure when it arrives hopefully tomorrow

The posters should be from the same run. It's just a matter of what pull they're signing from. I don't understand the entire process, but I thought AP's were pulled at a specific point in the printing process, perhaps when the inks were laying down best? Though, it may simply be a ploy to sell them in two different ways. AP2 what?
Do understand one thing: It's not always that when you're buying a print numbered low in an edition that it's necessarily from the prints early off the press. Often times, they number them once the prints are finished en masse, and you're actually getting end of the run prints with the low numbers on them. Not all artists do it this way, but it's something to think about. I don't ever make a habit of needing something to be a certain number out of a run, but I do think prints numbered somewhere in the middle come from points when the process should have been broken in/warmed up.
Long story short ("Too late!" Clue, anyone?). The scarcity and value of the print should only matter at two points: When you're trying to buy it and if you're intending to buy as a future investment. Otherwise, pursue what you like best.
I tried to have my girlfriend buy me one during the original sale as I had a doctor's appointment and wasn't going to be abailable to keep pressing F5. She had one in her cart and still missed out.
I immediately went on Ebay and sure enough there were sellers, although the prices the day they went on sale were far lower. When I went on there was a buy it now for $225 and another for $199.00 with a best offer selection. I offered the guy $170 and the offer was accepted. I think I got the lowest price post sale that I know of. Ebeans reflects that anyways.

The other difference is in the signatures. Mine's signed with a gold pen instead of the silver that was used on the 200.
I'll assume mine is written in a Platinum Pen instead of silver then lol

Mine is AP 36/50. They must have thrown a few of those in the pile they sold.
sure, they gave those out for free.

He got it on the original sale

Any graffiti artists in the Portland area?
That's a good deal for sure.

Speaking of, does anyone know where the original billboard is?
Did they take it down after the shows?
* Cincinnati, OH 6.24.2006 *

* East Troy, MI 9.4.2011 * East Troy, MI 9.5.2011 *
* Pittsburgh, PA 10.11.2013 *
I think with the right crew, we can have thing down in no time!
