does this indicate that some people are ordering a dozen or more at a shot?

I am going to have to revise my Big Proof sell out date accordingly.

In reference to the print number cap....

I hope this wasn't in effect for this release since a friend of mine bought a bunch in the same order to supply our group of friends to save on shipping and my CPU has been down :shock:

If it were up to me I'd start the cap now and knock some of those bulk orders that people might have placed down to 3-4 per (or at least less than 5 per) so the rest of us have a chance. Spread the wealth!

I'm on the east coast... stayed up late because my psychic powers (j/k) told me they might go up during the AM hours and I gave up at around 4:30 AM when I passed out on my laptop...so missed the 3ish AM west coast sale time.. only to oversleep for work. get to work, find out the prints had already been up for 4+ hrs and likely sold out.

you snooze you lose...

I am all for limiting the number of prints per person. However (not to beat a dead horse), if Obey does this, then they need to package their shipments better. The only reason I order multiples is to safeguard against the dreaded crushed tube.

Very true words, the extra prints somehow hold the crepe tube together.

I just got my confirmation and I think I just dropped a load in my pants, I have been depressed all week because I knew for sure I was getting a refund. I really like this print and only ordered one for my personal collection.

I am all for a limit, I am really happy Shepard is getting the attention he deserves, but I dont think we need the attention from the greedy bastards who want to turn a profit off of his art, kinda goes against the whole meaning of Obey if you ask me.

The first print I ever ordered was Nixon Money, and have only gotten a handful since, I didnt even order the Malcoms when I ordered my Big Brother, didnt care for them even though I knew I could of made money off of them.
