Wrigley S/N EMEK story.....

rustneversleeps

so i got my poster and notice it is different than the rest ive seen on ebay....its numbered and embossed in the bottom left like the rest, s/n gum as well, and it has the skull doodle in the bottom right- however, no Emek sign under the skull doodle!!! i email him some pics and to ask if others are like this as well or just a random mistake (wasnt complaining at all), he responds almost immediately, and says he must have been interrupted by his kids or something...offered to pay to have me send it in and signed, so humble and cool. I feel like having it signed will make it like the other 99, like this it is literally one-of-a-kind... what would you do???

Wow, totally cool of him.

Interesting dilemma though, probably best to have his signature on the work though IMO

have him sign it....you might get something alittle extra special from him too

elwayvedder

yes have him sign it and then ask him for more gum to give to all of us on Lost Dogs!

If its for personal consumption and you will never trade/sell it. I would keep it as is. Its kind of cool that way.

I say if you want it signed, you should pay for the shipping (both ways) out of your own pocket.

But I'm not the kind of person who bugs businesses if something isn't exactly as described.

Send it back. Pay for shipping both ways. Agree with above post.

i didnt ask him to pay for anything, it didnt even cross my mind. he brought it up....im keeping it as is anyway

i agree with not bugging businesses as well..... i dont think inquiring about a S/N poster that isnt signed is necessarily bugging the business(artist)...

maybe in canada thats bugging the business....

So, the thing is supposed to have an autograph and you think it's bugging the business to ask about AND pay shipping to have it done?

Wow. Tough crowd.

whole point of paying a premium for an S/N print is to get the artists sig. emek realizes this so thats why he offered to pay for shipping both ways. so i think its strange a few here think its an annoyance on emek.

pay for shipping back to him, and emek will cover return shipping. and he'll probably include something extra for your hassle. or you can really try and suck up and pay for shipping both ways and request a cool doodle too.

sounds like it is basically worthless - you should sell it to me cheap

Not trying to be tough.

This is just how I would do it.

My hope would be for him to say 'wow this dude is cool and not some flipper that wants to make money off my shit' and then you never know where that leads. Maybe he sends something entirely unique back or signs his poster in a unique way that sets it apart from the rest...who knows. The small expense of paying for shipping might pay off big down the road! All good! Peace!

So your goal was to flip it back to the artist for more goods while getting to keep the print. Interesting.

make him guess a number 1-100 and if he gets it right, you pay for shipping

i agree, leave it! its one of a kind! i was told by one of these artists that their signature depletes the value anyway, seriously.

Not at all. Chill.

You are looking at it the wrong way.

The artist made an honest mistake.

The customer politely pointed it out.

The artist apologized and offered to sign it.

To ask the artist to pay for shipping is trivial.

Take the high road and to the right thing.

It may come back in spades.

I would send it to him for sure.. It's a cool story without the sig but it will be even cooler once its signed and sent back!!

Go for it!!

Emek wouldn't mind to pay for shipping... U deserve what you bought and I'm sure he's very appreciative of what pj fans have meant to his business
