$86,485!!! That's awesome. I wonder what the total raised for the entire event was. Great cause.
If you were lucky enough to win a poster from this auction, please know while it wasn't disclosed, and highly odd considering the items were signed and framed by a professional gallery, the posters were dry mounted by the gallery the charity used. I had already had an unsigned version framed and simply went to have the signed version switched into my original frame when I learned it was dry mounted.
^^^Wow! That's incredible Brian! Definitely worthy of a charge back there. I found it odd they refused to include the original letters Ed included for the ukulele and guitar. Why keep the originals and send the winner photocopies?
To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

Edit - I didn't like my choice of words and have edited the post below.
There was a single letter from Ed listing the items so I totally understand providing only a copy of the single letter. The dry mounting... I'm very curious what the other winners of posters framed think. I have no interest in selling and hope never to be in a position to have to sell the prized PJ possessions... I'm thrilled to have the signed poster, believe me. It's just a bit disappointing I guess. We fans take care of these material items like they are so important. Honestly, we are probably nuts to some degree. I'll admit that. At the end of the day human life, the people we love and love us...that's what's really important, not a poster. I just expected more from a professional gallery.
Sorry to hear. Wonder though if it was the gallery who did it by mistake or the ones who put in the order wanted them dry mounted. If so they should of totally of said that in the description of their silent auctions that the prints all framed up would be dry mounted.

This crossed my mind when I saw that in the original listing. I had this problem once before with a different band/charity. After that experience, I try to only buy unframed items. That way I can make sure my frames are acid free and with UV protection.
Dry mounting is the worst. It hurts to think that yield sign was probably destroyed...

Mother of GOD!! :( And that ended @ $5000. That Australia 2011 Tour poster ended @ $4610.

I would understand the disappointment here, Its not the potential sale value in the future that would trouble me (although I bet it would a lot of folk) but the fact that the dry mounting really tarnishes the piece. Should you ever decide to sell, even shipping the thing becomes a nightmare.
Its hard to fathom a professional gallery or framer dry mounting a print regardless of value
I echo the comments, first if you spending $18,000 and $51,000 you would think that the original letter would be included not some stupid photocopy and WHAT THE $%** using dry mount for a poster that sold for $4,600. I have no idea what I would do, but I certainly wouldn't be happy.
