The hand turned up ages ago!
Hoping it's not been lost by USPS!

Yeah, people can still grab this print real cheap on eBay as well. Just make sure u ask the seller for a copy of the receipt or whatever else that was given to confirm original purchase. These only gonna go up in value over time.

Were they numbered, for example? If not it's likely an open edition, which means there can be 1k, 100k, or whatever out there.
Pretty sure it was a 1000 for both I saw the figure around for sure, but it wasn't on any of the official documentation for the edition. Were they numbered, for example? If not it's likely an open edition, which means there can be 1k, 100k, or whatever out there. |

Public Art Fund has confirmed this via their Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaWuozDHx9X
this_is_katya: Hi All. Iโm helping Public Art Fund run this event from the eBay side and want to explain why youโre seeing a number higher than 1,000. Our counter counts transactions and not available quantity. We had a few order cancellations throughout the day (around 10) for various reasons and had to return those items to the eventโs inventory. However, the way our product is built, we canโt subtract from the counter. The items we returned were later purchased by others, thus youโre seeing the 1,000+ transactions. I can assure you, the Public Art Fund is only creating 1,000 prints and 1,000 sculptures. Hope that answers your question. Happy to clarify if needed.

Ai Weiwei Odyssey Print, by omidtahoe on Dec 21, 2017 5:25:30 GMT 1, Someone on Ebay has 3 of them listed for sale. I emailed him for proof because he had a picture of them in a flat box, not a tube like I had seen in other listings. This is what he just messaged me back.
"If you are interested in buying more let me know. This is a overstock print. Thatโs why I donโt have a certificate. The price is reasonable... Itโs the same print/poster. New and in mint condition. Just without certificate. Poster comes in a tube. Let me know if you have more questions."
I'm sure he had them reprinted somewhere else.

Originality: Reproduction There were no certificates with these, just posters, no signature, nothing..... I would say that if you can provide a receipt and the support page that came in the tube that should suffice as authenticity. Also, if you send it in the original tube (assuming it didn't get destroyed in transit), that should also suffice...that's as much of a paper trail that you can get. |

It has to be either that or a refund - I little ding I could live with, but torn is unacceptable.
Good luck if you're looking for a replacement.
Mine arrived with huge dings to 2 corners... I hope they have some back up copies! Yes, mine too - both lower corners badly crumpled and one of them torn. I emailed Matchfire about it a few days ago and they are apparently looking into seeing if they can find a replacement. It has to be either that or a refund - I little ding I could live with, but torn is unacceptable. Good luck if you're looking for a replacement. |

One is a flyer which if I recall does not even mention Odyssey the other a receipt. Sure they can show purchase but both easy to reprint on a color printer and should be advertised as Proof of Purchases not a COA. |

At some point if these rise enough in value, eBay gonna be flooded with phony reprints and phony copies of receipts. Derp. Even if, in the end it's the same like the soup can poster. You only have the 100% certainty if you've had the oppurtunity to buy it from source, the authenticity of all posters from secondary is questionable.

Not strictly limited to 1000 though. Maybe even less ... which often is the case with Museum posters.
The price certainly is ... GBP 14 LINK
