I noticed that the E in "READ BETWEEN THE LINES" is the same 3 used in Sedation but flipped. Any symbolism on the 3s, 1 and 5?

No, it's just an old design thing that started to become used a lot by graphic designers, like David Carson, in the 90s.

Just received mine today. It was packaged well. So are there 1000 of these now if the cac had 550 and obeygiant.com has 450... or do you think that the website is wrong and obey kept a portion of the 550.

Highly doubtful there are 1000 of these. Typically, Obey kepts a portion of the original amount to sell and unless it's a different colorway that diferentiates it from the CAC version, then my guess is that they have a typo on their site. They probably just copied the copied the info from the previous release and forgot to change 450 to 550.

I picked up a copy from CAC. Anyone care to guess how many are left for the site? Wondering how many are going to double dip?

I venture to guess that Obey gave them between 150 and 200 to sell, keeping 350 or so for their own release. I am kinda curious if CAC sent them a list of people that bought from them to weed out the double dippers, not that I am thinking of double dipping... :P

Yeah but if the people paid in cash how would they know? I paid via a credit card when I picked mine up down at the CAC so I could see how they could track that.

I seriously doubt that CAC would go through the effort of doing that or that Obey would really care.
