Got my Waterfall Foil today, and it's just as sweet as I remember from seeing it in Chicago.

No luck with getting a signed one but still stoked to have this.

My waterfall poster arrived yesterday, in a crimped end tube that was totally open, poster is beat to shit, creases everywhere. Appears to have been man handled by apes. So f'n bummed!

My poster is still in pre-shipping according to the tracking number. I hope that gets settled soon!

WTF? You definitely need to contact them, and get a replacement. No way you should accept that.

Mine came in a regular hard cardboard tube with plastic end caps taped closed. Posters should never be shipped in anything less, IMO. I hate those crimped ends, lighter weight tubes. Doesn't surprise me in the least it arrived damaged being packed, and shipped in one of those.

I hope they make good on it for ya.

That is a pretty cool variant! I do find it a bit ridiculous though that out of the 26 that were made... 3 of them are already on eBay.

That is a pretty cool variant! I do find it a bit ridiculous though that out of the 26 that were made... 3 of them are already on eBay.

Actually, there were 4, and more today.

Funny story...

Well, not funny, but anyway.  I happened to visit eBay when 4 of these foil variants were up.  One was listed as Buy It Now for 99 cents.  Yes, that's right!  99 cents!  You want proof?  Here's a screenshot.



So, while I figured it was a mistake, meant to be listed as an auction with a starting price of 99 cents, like the one directly below it, I bought the 1st one listed for 99 cents and $10 shipping.

The seller, kodagallery, then messaged me.

"Hi! I messed up my selling cost for the slater print. I would never sell this for 99 cents. I'm very sorry for this but will have to relist the item.

Sorry for this inconvenience

- kodagallery"

My reply: "I figured it was a mistake, but are you not obligated to sell at the price you published? Don't want to be a jerk about this, but..."

kodagallery: "Yes, but it was a mistake. I wouldn't be able to sell this for that price. I hope you understand. If you want for my mistake I'll sell it to you for my cost which was $90."

I felt sorry for him and voluntarily cancelled my order.  On my PayPal refund email, was this message:  "sorry dude can't sell this low"

To which I responded by email: "Yes, you can, when you put up a Buy It Now of 99 cents, mistake or otherwise, you should honor the purchase.  I backed out 'cause I'm a nice guy.  I'm also a dad who took his daughter to that show in Milwaukee.  I'm not a guy in Vermont buying rare posters and flipping them for profit.  Proofread your posts or be willing to eat your mistakes.  Not trying to be a jerk, but statements like "Sorry dude but can't sell this low" are not valid.  You can, and must, sell low if you screw up."

I had every right to get that poster for $10.99 but took the high road.  This guy was flipping a rare (26) print and screwed up.  Live and learn.  Part of me wishes I held my guns, but I have a band-signed copy of this print from the soundcheck, so decided to be a nice guy.

Death to flippers!

BTW, his print is currently going for $71.

Wow! That is messed up. Call the eBay police!!!!

What IS a funny story is how I shared this with a silkscreen art group on Facebook and got a lot of criticism for my passive aggressive ways. I never expected to get the print, but to hear some, the flipper gets more support than the buyer in this situation. Would have been nice to get a thank you from the seller for cancelling the order, though.

You're too nice, Johnny. I would have taken that and taught him a lesson lol .So annoying.

Will they have poster tubes at the merch booth at shows? Seeing them at Red Rocks next month and I'm expecting to add a sick poster to my humble collection

I wouldn't count on it, and always bring my own. I'm sure it depends on the venue but I've never seen one offered. At most a plastic sleeve to roll it up in.

[raheuer]

I just got my Waterfall foil and it sure is a beaut. My only complaint is that some of the edges are pretty crinkled. Oh well, at least I got one!

I found a band-specific poster for MMJ @ Governors Ball



The artist is James Kirkups.

Anyone know who did the poster for the Lewiston, NY show? My buddy showed me on his phone, but I can't seem to find another picture.
