It actually can be difficult to accomplish this. Remember that Obey is not the only one selling these prints. Many get alloted to different galleries (including DW) and OG does not sell the full run, just a portion. If OG has already shipped and/or set aside prints for their other clients, it would be too difficult a task to go through them to find matching numbers.

hopefully, the fact that i live in los angeles county will work to my advantage, since ups wont have them that long.
but you never know with those union workers

And a pony. I want a pony. Can I get one if I call?
Is that a shot?

no, i think it's a breed of small horse....
Talisker 10-year-old is one hell of a shot, though you should probably sip it....

BTW- Malcolms are sold out, both color ways...8 hours for 400 prints...so whoever asked for smaller editions and higher prices, this is proof that's a bad idea. There are surely several fans who won't be getting that print for $30.

this new paradigm in print sales is fun. i like it when i have to stay on my toes to pick up stuff.
i think this board is now having a serious impact on sales though ... with 200 registered members (though many inactive) if everybody that reads buys 1 or 2 of each print then most of the run is gone already. and look at soup can ... it gets mentioned on the board and then a week later over 2/3 of the remaining stock is gone, even at 150 a pop, after it had been sitting on there for a year or more.

..then every customer is going to want 'matched' prints....not that difficult, agreed. Now multiply that by the dozens and dozens of DAILY orders and all of the sudden, the crew starts slipping behind on current orders again.
It's not a matter of difficulty but of PRACTICALITY.
