how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by morrissey1 on Nov 10, 2007 23:29:11 GMT 1, Im sad now that I didnt buy the set, but I couldnt afford it....I bought 3 (one of which I passed on to a forum member), and now I am left with two beautiful prints (that thanks to Blk Mrkt have matching numbers)....I guess a pair with matchining numbers is sitll neat.....

how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by shavemysoul on Nov 10, 2007 23:33:10 GMT 1, Moz - Two with matching numbers is very lovely. I don't think we'll realise our luck in another six months time when Ian's interest is likely to rocket. Blk/mrkt have been really fantastic IMO.
Valeha - agreed... I pray I'm by my comp if and when they release more. I don't think you can really point one out and say, 'ooh, hope that's not the one they release'.

how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by pw on Nov 10, 2007 23:56:46 GMT 1, certainly 2k would be a bargain but i would expect these to sell for quite a bit more. as the dude says there wont be many opportunities to get a full matching set. most people will probably split the set and keep the ones they like best. then sell the rest to cover their costs.
Someone's going to get a bargain if they stay at ยฃ2k

I'd overspent at the time, and something had to give

how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by Dellboyy on Nov 11, 2007 0:17:33 GMT 1, I bought Deathstar from the first set, and was SO close to buying pikachu but i stopped myself as i'd spent far too much! Of course i'm regretting it big time now, especially since i was refunded for this recent set due to not being on the list!

how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by Gentle Mental on Nov 11, 2007 10:14:09 GMT 1, I feel japanese couple is very special. it's iconic. a little bit different than most of Ian's work. It will stand the test of time as the slightly "odd" one.

i dont think its that many really. theres only 3 or 4 different sellers. once these have gone they'll probably crop up very infrequently. most people are probably waiting to see what happens with the Laz show. as we all know from experience as soon as Laz gets involved the prices will probably double overnight.

i think the difference is that these prints are from a very small edition and you probably wont get many chances to get them, never mind getting a full set. so its probably every man for himself so to speak.

agreed. even if you only look at it from an investment point of view its cheap. if he has a show with Laz next year, he could easily become as successful as Micallef. but of course as they always say, you shouldnt buy art as an investment! you should buy these cos they're beautiful!!

how much should i pay for the new ian francis ?, by Cocteau 101 on Nov 12, 2007 0:25:10 GMT 1, IF should just continue to produce low edition sizes and cracking images and he can't go wrong. Fuck all this saturating the market crap, flippers pray off larger edition sizes not small ones. The scene is now well known so collector exclusivity based on no fucker knows about it anyway has receded so if the idea is to give people the opportunity to own an image they love, then produce a large edition of one print (like SOS LV) and keep the smaller editions for the diehards. Anyway IF will only get bigger imo but only buy it if you plan to hang it, if you want to make money buy renewables and fuck off.

Anyone wanna consider swapping/selling theirs?
