Atrak was definitely far worse than today. The proverbial kick in the nads was when the print came out and with shipping and tax and everything it was over $80.

A-trak. HANDS DOWN! I used to work a swing shift and I remember leaving for work, without even showering or getting ready for work, thinking the print was gonna sell out while I was driving to work. Nope. Then when I got to work I had to move editing bays three times and it still hadn't even dropped. 7 hrs later, 4 computer setups, one million apple+R's, and I scored it. I swore I was gonna hang it, but it's never left the Itoya.
Oh yeah and there's NO WAAAY in hell LAPhil ever reaches Led Zep status. Mega Rock band + Major Hype + only 100 prints = Led Zep. This is a picture of a concert hall. WBN has cracked $500 a hand full(if that) of times and that was POY.

100? There was 400 of that badboy printed up. Only 100 were available for sale via obeygiant.com......... There was 50 less of this print, and only 200 were availalbe via obeygiant.com.... this will be a great prin for the future because art/music/achitechture fans will appreciate this print. Especially the music fans because they love their posters!

It's basically an edition of 100. Who knows where all those prints will end up...given out to friends of the band, record label, thrown out...etc., but you proved my point. There are 100 more of the Gehry prints in OBEY collectors hands, and not 300 floating around in mystery land like Led Zep.
Don't let the server acting up fool you into thinking that you're holding a piece of gold(still a nice print, but lets not jump the shark). Current ebay prices prove my speculation was correct. Zep started at $500. This print hasn't even cracked $200. Definitely NOT a banksy like the brits would like to believe.
