No, different cabinet. The super secret archive is too stuffed with rare prints to load anything else in... at least until Shepard decides to flood the market around the time of your retirement. ;)
By then, the presence of the extra "Gas Mask" on bamboo will have substantially increased the Shepard Fairey collector base to the point where a handful of extra prints will be insignificant. :lol:

Well if you bought sunsets from Obey directly, you got duality for like $140. Soooo... yeah. Why not?

When you think of it like that it's not bad...but most collectors think of a print in terms of what it fetches on the secondary market. Sunsets is consistently $400 to $600, while Duality 1 may or may not stay in this range. The trade is surprising to me because I thought Duality was best of '08, not best of any Obey (and Sunsets is one of the best in my opinion). The 3 day release created a lot of hype. We'll see if it lasts.

With that said, anyone dying to see Duality 2? I can't wait!

We will have to agree to disagree then, I never found sunsets very appealing. And I guess I am not most collectors then, either. But to each his own. :mrgreen:

to clarify the one guy traded sunsets and the other duality plus 100. I like sunsets a lot and I am starting to like this print more and more. I guess its all on what style you value more and what ISO's are available

It is like an Egyptian riddle...Everyone hides their numbers and the only way OBEY could find out who flips is by getting the number off of the flipped print. So tell me how they match these up to create a banned list? The VeRO (eBAY) policy sounds a little more plausible. Still cannot imagine he implementation challenges associated with collating and enforcing a banned buyers list.

Best way to end flipping is to not buy flipped prints.

pretty easy. It is not that hard to figure out. Just put it this way, if the ebay buyer is disgruntled because he/she had to pay 10x what they could've paid from OG, she/he will have no problem providing the sellers info to OG for future reference.

I know it sucks, but it happens.

That violates eBAY policy, though. eBAY can work with SNO if they believe someone is illegitimately selling their items or fraudulently selling their intellectual property in someway. They cannot approach buyers and ask for those details. Besides, depends on how quickly do eBAY sellers ship (to match the numbers to the id).

You can believe there's a list or not; I'm not really concerned, but I'd be willing to pit my knowledge against your theory in a "battle for a free bottle of tequila" whenever you'd like. ;) :lol:

You've got it wrong. They do not approach buyers. Oh, and there is a list. This I know for a fact.
