    Think there was a glitch and they were up briefly ahead of time, some managed to checkout in time but no one knows if those are now part of the refund batch.

    They sent me an email crediting me for ONE of the two variants I bought BEFORE 12:00
    When I purchased them I had gone directly to his site. Not knowing if he was selling them at all. There they were for sale. I knew nothing about a limit or what time they were suppose to go on sale. So I got 2,thinking I was the luckiest guy. Then when I came here, I heard all the flaming.
    I never planned on flipping them. One was going to be used as a funds raiser for my son's memorial fund at Boston Children's.
    I hope you feel better

    I don't recall anyone flaming you. You came and posted in multiple threads that you scored 2 and multiple people, myself included, informed you that it was a limit of 1 and you'd probably be refunded for one. You asked additional questions and additional answers were given.
    maybe he means this? Tried to flip it for a '98 Great Woods and got some 'feedback'?

    whoops, that wasn't my intent.... was just curious where the 'flaming' accusation came from.

  • Got refunded for the variant. Paypal receipt was issued at 12:02:11.

    Won't complain, it happens. The artist handled the thing in a professional manner.

    From Thomas' facebook:

    "What sucks for me is I knew nothing of the sale. Went on Thomas site yesterday about 11:45 and the posters were up for sale. It said nothing about a limit or what time they went on sale. I bought two thinking I was the luckiest gut alive. Now I see this. There is no way i wanted to flip them. One was for me and one was to raise money for my son's memorial fund @ Boston's Children Hospital. Totally understanding you have to do what you have to do. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in, for whatever it's worth"

    I was just refunded for the variant as well. PayPal receipt was issued 12:02.

    I agree, Steve handled this very professionally. I'm disapointed but there are much worse tragedies. Congrats to all of you that got through in time to score one!

    so it seems like he is making his way down the variants now. Being earlier than 12:01:30, I feel pretty confident.

    It also looks like the 'early' orders are being honored, which I think is fair.

    Got my refund....picked the Martian Winter Olympics print as my freebie....I think its pretty cool
  • 12:01:48 order just refunded on the Variant. Major bummer seeing as I saw the regular version poster up for sale early but held off (to get the Variant) and also because I did NOT order one of each when I easily could have (and probably would have gotten the regular version).

    Now I sit here with 5 of the 6 Fenway Posters but without any version of the Thomas to complete the set, despite waiting in lines all weekend, attending both shows, etc. Oh well, that is life and I do appreciate his honesty and handling of the situation.

    Seems like he may come through with something special for those cancelled, I am hopeful for a second variant.

    Stop while you still think you're ahead. You posted in 2 different threads that you got 2. The Boston merch thread and the poster thread. You might not have 1000 posts but you have a hard time keeping your story straight.

    12:02:33 variant refunded

    These artists should start doing a dutch auction for limited edition APs. It's the only real way to ensure that somebody isn't buying to flip, and if there's profit to be made, it should go to the artist. Or maybe they set a base price and donate any proceeds above that figure from a dutch auction to the Vitalogy Foundation.
  • I just got my paypal refund from Steve, really wanted this variant. Oh well, Bring on Wrigley!!! Congrats to those that got one
