No problem! We might as well try to keep these prints nice and safe in the frames, right?

Was supposed to get mine today. Just checked to see if it was out for delivery and as of yesterday it had made it from CA to IL, where it met up with 'adverse weather conditions', and the next destination posted at the same time is back to CA with 'emergency weather conditions beyond UPS' control'! They better NOT be sending my print back to CA! Doesn't UPS bother to check the news? IL has been flooding for the last 2 weeks. Think they would have noticed by now?

VERY disappointing!

Just to let everyone know the best way to get cheap acid-free backer paper is to buy a ream of Laser Printer paper; 99% of the paper available is acid free. A ream is pretty much a lifetime supply!

Just opened up my shipping tube and I've just gotta say, this is a beautiful print! I know it's been said before but none of these pics due any justice. The collage is incredibly detailed! IMVHO Best offset to date by far.

I'd like to add that UPS crushed my tube; 2nd one this year. There is no visible damage from the front, but there are minor creases from behind. I would send it back, but it's #666, and I'd hate to give that up for an AP. Thoughts...?

I'm not sure that it's guaranteed you'd get an AP. If they undersold, you might get a numbered print back (seriously not sure about that, though).

Is the paper wavy or are there definite creases?

No matter where or how you frame this one, it just rocks all the way around.

It's in between, not really a crease, a little more than a hard roll, almost folds, running halfway up the side...

I'd maybe set it under some heavy books for a couple days to see if it looks like the damage will flatten. It's definitely your call, though.

I showed up at about 12:30 and walked right in and got one. No waiting whatsoever.
