Re:
I've been thinking for some time that it would be great for Shep to make a "Bob" print, or anyone for that matter. I have the cheapo xerox copy they give you with the membership packet, but a limited edition run on nice paper would rock!admonkey wrote:Hail Bob!
Flipper is someone who buys it to sell, does not collect to collect but only to make money. A collector is someone who buys to keep, but sometimes they don't like it or want to get rid of it to buy other things. There is no time frame if your main intention is to make money off of it then your a flipper.

I cant tell if you are being sarcastic or just ignorant, and for you newjacks here are some links to shepard talking about flipperszanzi123 wrote:whats the difference between buying a print and flipping, or keeping it then selling it? The "real fans" thing is BULLSH!T. Yeah, you missed out on a print and someone else got it, so what! Get over flipping, do you really want to get mad over somebody else selling a screenprint which they got by legitimate means?

Don't tell me the print in question was a castro ruby one because the same thing happened to me with that print a while back.noverflow wrote:I just want to say. I dont care about flippers, floppers or anything like that.
All i want is that people be honest. Sell prints you have in hand only. Dont tell me it is mint or NM when it has an FING coffee stain on the back (yes, did happen to me).
