glad to read that

Glad to know that! Last time I spoked with Brad he still thought was a well done fake!! So these are stolen prints?

not necessarily. these may indeed be fakes, it's just that there was a guy who was selling multiples before brad's site opened. he told a story of getting them out of some dead mail bin or something. the posters were unsigned, so people wondered if they were fake. he confirmed that at least the one box got out, that he had contacted the seller, and that the seller was entitled to sell them. so, at least one box (maybe 50 or 100?) of unsigned but legitimate posters got out to the public. i looked for the conversation on bry but didn't have time to search fully....

found the bry thread. turns out it was started by brad klausen himself

it's a long, meandering thread bry-style, but basically, he starts off not knowing what the deal is, the seller comes out and states that he has contacted brad and the band's lawyers and that he has full permission to sell them. people speculate that he got them through a postal auction, but the seller never confirmed it. brad continued to post in the thread, but never addressed the seller directly, and never disputed a thing he said. i was left with the impression that they were indeed legit...

Thank you for this infos, now I/we know the full story. So now the question is....is better to buy this cheap print or the expansive signed ($150 from Artillery) ?
