Interesting. This is not the same variant that he originally posted before the artist sale, where the baseball player had an orange hat and orange socks.

Hey ya, Your right. Didn't notice that before.
I like the blue socks and hat better.

Good eye, didn't notice that either until you pointed it out. After the snafu on the day of the sell, and now changing up the print, from what he posted what it would be. The hat and socks make a huge difference as being a variant, IMO. Hope it doesn't turn into a huge cluster for Steve.
All of the variants have blue socks/hat, the original pic was wrong
Where did he state that the socks and hat would be blue, and his pic with the orange socks and hat was wrong? He should have never put up that pic with the orange pics and hat, if that was the case.
Wanted a Fenway variant, not anymore, the blue socks and hat don't look great in my opinion, looks like an oversight or error. Would still love an original AP though!
I liked the variant better than the regular version especially because of the different uniform. Hopefully he can offer replacements to those that want them.

I was surprised by the reaction to this one as well. I do prefer the green original, but the design still shines in purple. I might even like it better than the Thomas.
I'm not sure what Eaton was thinking when he designed this one, but I don't mean that in a disparaging way. This subject is conflicted, and that is what's great about it. Flamingo? Mountains? Headlight? Fist? Is it a nod to the Green Monster? Is it a visual interpretation of the song Lightning Bolt? Maybe it's just random art. Any way you slice it, the collage plays.
Nice ski-bum, congrats. Glad to see Steve sign and # them in the green instead of the white boarder, will make it easier on framing. I still like the original version better, but to each is their own. Like me liking the Fenway Mark5 variant over the regular, it's a matter of personal preference.
I actually framed the regular version. Just going to store this one away for now.
The regular one came out looking great. Keep that variant stored correct now. IMO, the Thomas will be the 2016 poster to have down the road.
There's PLENTY of them out there so it shouldn't be hard to obtain.
Is that one the same size as the green version? They posted that it would be 18 X 24. Was wondering if they enlarged it because the original was smaller/

It is pretty small, I didn't measure it but was surprised how small it was when I unrolled it.

He didn't state it, somebody who received one of the variants sent him a note to check if there was a variant variant.

Yeah, I saw that but it is indeed the same size as the show print at 16x20

Per a comment on his FB page, hopefully this week. He started packing them on Monday.
