AG/OK Soda question....
Re: AG/OK Soda question....
After a little more inquiring on my end, the seller said he had to stop selling them because he could not prove they were authentic. SHADY!!!
Re: AG/OK Soda question....
ugh, yeah...looking more and more like these aren't legit...oh well, still dig the image, so not terribly upset about it.
Re: AG/OK Soda question....
Seems like an odd print to bootleg...and for a couple of hundred bucks, it doesn't seem worth it to me. I'd bet there is a back-story to these prints.

Looking at the guy's feedback he sells secondhand posters of all descriptions and not once has he had feedback for being a bootlegger. He probably didnt sell one to you because of this sort of attitude.......
if I was bootlegging these why would I stop selling after only selling 5? or maybe it was people like yourself that he thought they were more hassle than he needed if everyone was going to pester him about the authenticity of them!
As someone has already pointed out its a bit of a weird choice of poster to bootleg and you would not do it on different types of paper to throw doubt into peoples mind, where as you would print them on whatever paper you had to hand or for free if you are a guy starting out like shep was at the time.
Not only that the pics on ebay look good and would be hard to copy this poster without an original to work from.
enough of my rant
good luck to the guys that scored I think you are gonna be ok
I would mail the seller and ask about packaging though as he has had bad feedback for using square tubes

Re: AG/OK Soda question....
I took his feedback into consideration. Like you said, not one claim of bootlegs, just packing problems on a couple albums. He said he ships in a tube w/ kraft paper, so crossing my fingers! Spagucci, your concern is appreciated! If they turn out to be bootlegs, at least I'm not the one that spent $300 for the 2 "textured" copies!stickee wrote:So you didnt get to buy one? why be a rain cloud for everyone else?spagucci1 wrote:Worth it to you?

Re: AG/OK Soda question....
Okay so I'll chime in on this one.
My friend is the buyer of the textured version on ebay. I guess he bought the 2 in the auction but was told by the seller that there was actually only one and to pay for it. We went to the VIVA show and I guess he didn't pay for it yet and the dude relisted it on Sunday morning.
I don't think these are bootleg at all... if this dude was doing that he would have sold my homie the 2 and probably offered him more.
I think spagucci turned the dude off with all the questions. I'll take some pics of the textured one when he gets it in.

It's 100% a screenprint and it looks amazing. The backside is glossy and the printed side is flat.

Re: AG/OK Soda question....
Whew...that's hott. I picked up the last one for sale and the seller dropped out with the 'i have to repair the tear rather than sell it damaged' routine. They actually sold ok soda in my high school... we were one of the test markets! This design was on the machine. Was looking forward to the print, but apparently it's headed back to the block as the seller had decided to relist! I think I have a line on a couple more though. We'll see what this one looks like when it goes back up!
on point like a decimalist?
Re: AG/OK Soda question....
No idea. Only Shep can answer this. It's possible that 2 different papers were used, That wouldn't surprise me. Shep would use what he had access to back then.whyhoo wrote:spagucci1 wrote:Is non-glossy fake?danklax5 wrote:I'm guessing that by "textured" he means non-glossy.HolyShep wrote:Seller sold two "textured" versions to the same buyer. I wish the seller gave more detailed descripitions. I'm not sure what "textured" means.
any insight robotoil?
Re: AG/OK Soda question....
I received mine over the weekend...it's printed on the glossy side of the paper and the back side is flat (guess that's what he meant by textured). It's also definitely screen printed, and has a couple dings, but overall not bad at all. I'll try to get pics up over the weekend. I'm pretty happy with it, real or not.

Re: AG/OK Soda question....
Finally got to check mine out. Packing was less than stellar. Print was bigger than the "kraft paper". One side of the tube had a piece of paper and some tape over it and the other side was wide open. Miraculously the print was in great shape! I looked up OK Soda on Wikipedia, and they mention Shepard's sabotage campaign under "Backlash".
