    Holy shit that was rolled unbelievable tight. I am not a expert on this stuff but I thought you usually roll it just under the diameter of your tube? This was more like the radius. Shipped in great condition though so what do I know. I feel like I should have had someone else with me trying to lay it flat but think I succeeded with out any damage. Man that was stressful!

    ^ So tight? That's weird. The other 2 prints were pretty easy to get out. Great care in the packaging.

    I should have worded that better. There was plenty of space in the tube for it to move around. I think it was a 3 inch tube and the way it was rolled it could have easily fit into a 2 inch with space to give. Not much of a poster guy but I have never seen it rolled like that before.

    Gotcha. I've seen prints rolled up so tight where the tube was so thick enough that the artist could add an additional 2 more rolled  up prints in one shipping tube.

    Kind of off topic but can someone explain the import charges to me from Ebay. If I am buying a used poster why do I have to pay over 100$ in import charges? I have never bought a poster off Ebay before and thought about putting an offer in on the Sao Paulo just to see what I could get it for but those import charges are ridiculous.

    I think something has changed with u.s postage charges.  It's all gone ridiculous . I sure someone here must know what's going on. Never was a charge

    Its because the seller is using the global shipping program. It basically covers the customs fees. What happens is the seller ships the item to Ebays Global shipping headquarters, they than mail it out to you and guarantee no addition customs fees when the package arrives to you. My issue with this system is that ...

    1) the item gets sent first to get to the Global shipping center and sometimes that location is backtracking from where you might actually live. Making you wait longer to get your item. Plus their handling time if the package.

    2) Your paying these extra fees form something you might not have even gotten charged for had they not used the global shipping program. You cant predict if Customs are going to charge you or not for valued package.


    You can ask the seller if they would remove the global shipping program from their listing. They might.

    I have done this before and some sellers are willing to do so, and others are not.

    to add to the above, if you do get the seller to remove the global shipping program you might want to ask them what kind of value they will post on the package for customs. Because you will get hit with the customs fees if they put a really high value on it.

    Thanks for the tips. Saw that the other poster sold as well. Really surprised they are going for this much. Figured they would go up in value over time but doubt they can go up much higher than this.

    Idk. We’ve seen the London AP traded for a grail poster already.  Not sure if these are even close to peaking lol. Nice to see artwork that lives up to the hype.    I just need to get #3 lol

    That makes me feel a little better.  I was thinking someone in the Northeast received theirs.
