Just a little play on words:
For those not in the know, a week from today is the biggest shopping day of the year its commonly referred to as black friday however this print drops on monday hence my comment black monday.
Another reference is to the 1987 black monday stock market crash that is often blamed on the then "new" automated computerized selling of stock when it would hit a preset bottom to minimize losses. My prediction is that the obey site will crash like the market on black monday.
:D
Have a great weekend folks. See you monday!

the reason i questioned was because black monday is commonly referred to as the monday after the last day of the regular season nfl game... it's the day when coaches get fired.

i think red monday would be better for this print :)

Even a vintage re-release in adapted form is better than the current works.

The last couple have been available at some pretty reasonable prices because so many flippers with no interest in OG at all have been buying up and flooding the market. Wouldn't expect this one to be too much different. Hopefully a few will be put off for this drop.

Good points.. Luckily my office is pretty empty for the holidays so I may be meeting-free during the drop!
The stars are aligning for this one.

Fingers crossed for this one. Hoping the Monday drop will catch some unaware. Also hoping for a 10 not a noon drop as the 12 hour time difference is rough on a work night.
