can I ask...why do people get angry at the flippers. would it really be great if all the prints went straight to people who will frame and hang it on the wall. What happens to the fans who then missed out to other fans of the work and wont be given any opportunity to try and work out a deal at a premium if they really want the print. Yes i know 'but it means the true fans have to pay the inflated price' but im looking at this from another angle. the people who really want it and are willing to pay a bit extra. I think generally people feel frustrated when they miss the print and cant afford on it on the secondary or they missed out on the investment opportunity. I imagine this is more so when a banksy is released due to the secondary cost.

either way its all part of the game.

here are not enough prints for everyone who wants to put it on their wall. if you miss a release you miss it. i love collecting and limited editions so I would hate to see open releases, timed releases.

it would all be very boring if you manage to get every release.

*i do not in anyway encourage flipping

Print just arrived ... damaged! Here we fucking go again. Not transit damage, this looks like it had this prior to couriering. Will post picture later.

That flat out just sucks! Only Eelus I have is a Raven Hair and it showed up with several dent/bends down one entire edge, clearly from the packing. He did replace it, but the whole thing kind of soured the print it took awhile. Sure it will work out but again that sucks!

Ffs, you would have thought that by now they could pack prints properly!

Mastering a 27 colour screen print but not mastering the art of just wrapping in brown paper that is the same length as the tube. Fail.

how do they look!!!!

haha, let the good times roll

Just got mine through the door.

Straight off to the framers I go.

if this is printed on very thick (card) paper like the last one, i wouldnt be forcing it to flatten or getting it framed yet. it took me about a month for the first one to be totally flat.

Been in touch with Eelus this morning. Just about send some pictures, so hopefully it'll get sorted. Three out of my last four prints have now been delivered with degrees of damage. Still, at least my son's team won their footy friendly this morning. That cheered me up.

Yup, the lads footy is a whole world more important than a crease or two in a print, your right there Ruggs. Anyroad im sure eelus will sort it.

Sunny outsideo!.

3 out of 4 prints damaged?, did you forget to tip your postie at Christmas???.

Sent Eelus an e-mail so hopefully he'll sort something out. Son won 4-1 and they look a good side compared to last season. Gone up to nine-a-side, bigger goals, bigger pitch and proper FA rules. Fingers crossed Sutton Heath will have a good 2013/14 season in the South Suffolk Youth League Under 11's.

It's very thick paper indeed, the tubes were huge though (about 8 inches) so it was barely rolled which was a relief.

Mine rocked up today.. Very impressed

Is that the same kraft paper used to ship? It doesn't even look like there is one inch extra on each side . Does not bode well for a trip across the Atlantic.
