BTW this is the only famous face i have on my wall right now! and i freakin love it -

Shepard Fairey โข Obama Prints, by rillo on Feb 22, 2008 13:52:35 GMT 1, If I had it, I'd flog it! Dont get it at all. Imagine a picture of Tony all those years ago with 'Things can only get better' underneath his mug....would you still want it, want it on your wall??? Pay large $$'s for it??
I got a progress as thought it was a fun thing to have for $45 given the story behind why it was produced. For the ridiculous sums they are apparently going for now I can think of many other prints I would prefer to have for the money. Swap for an unsigned trollies anyone?

I think that's a awesome idea, but not with no signature for $70 each! Should be more like $15 each.

Do you think there are Dukakis, Kerry, and/or Mondale posters in the history books?

The price is to help raise funds for his campaign too. Considering the ones with sigs sold for thousands, you can get a similar image for much less.
Be happy for what it is, an iconic image in a large size for a affordable price which also helps support a candidate.

Yes, it is for his campaign, I agree with that. But for those who support Nader, but like Shep, $70 is way too much.
You can also print out your own Obey Obama poster for much cheaper with files provided by Obey.

Shepard Fairey โข Obama Prints, by oddkabob on Mar 12, 2008 19:22:13 GMT 1, I think with these Obama prints they're so in demand because it's not just Fairey fans who want them, it's Obama fans, political/presidential election collectors, so many other people outside of the street/art/obey fanboy collective. 5,000 seems like a lot if only obey fans were interested, but there is such a large group of other people who will be collecting these as well. To me it seems like Obama is going to be the next U.S. president which is going to be history for the United States. There is so much "crossover" collectibility in an Obama art print. Signed/unsigned by Fairey doesn't really matter. Even Faile's "Paypal screwup/refund" print showed that people didn't care if it was signed or not. The Obama print is a nice image. It's a part of history. It is limited to 5,000. And there's a huge (I think) audience for these. Will be very interesting to see how big or small the secondary market will be.
On an off note, I thought the recent Tony Alva obey prints were terrible. They're based on a photograph by someone else. They look....geez, I thought it was one of the worst Fairey prints ever. I thought, no way people will pay much more for these. But people still seem to be buying them on the bay.

You can only buy 32 max. A single donor can not donate more than that to a campaign.
