Hi guys...I am pretty new to Shepard's work. Actually I learned about it from Barack Obama's site when he was picked as one of the artists. I have two of the three prints from the selected artists except for Shepard's...of course. So although I hate to turn to eBay, I really would like to obtain this historical print since it is no longer available on Barack's store.
Is there any way that someone could tell me if this is a legit

The dimensions are different than what was offered on the Obama site (25x39 versus 24x36) and it is available in both Glossy and Canvas formats? Plus he/she said that it was some kind of Oregon campaign piece. Just seems a bit odd to myself and others.
Any advice from you Shepard Fairey veteran experts would be greatly appreciated.

I am thinking fake. All the Shepard Fairey prints that were sold through BarackObama.com were numbered.
Check out this auction. This one is real.
