I saw that this morning. They are starting to leak back into the listings. Obey can't do anything once the prints are shipped. Part of me thinks that by pulling the listings they are actually making the prints flip for more. I was pleased to see that the prices yesterday were $300ish because it will hopefully drop from there. I got my tail kicked in yesterday's drop and might consider picking one up if they go below $250.

I am happy to hear that Obey has stepped up and tried to stave the onslaught of flippers in the last few years. However, this is a tough battle. It is not that hard to set up these seller account on eBay and flip accordingly.

Here's hoping Obey might release more online for those who didn't get any.

I would be super happy if I could grab one refunded by a flipper. I'd consider it a "graduation gift" after almost getting arrested for demonstrating during commencement :.o

LA folks, go check your front doors! They're landing right now. In person, it's more striking than I was expecting -- red is dark and deep (think "Peace and Justice Woman") and the print's relief, to my eye, is greater than that of Peace Dove, especially in the black ink. It's an absolutely beautiful print.

Saw it come back up, but I already have a copy so I let it go... It only took one refresh to go back to "sold out." Looks like they really were tracking down and refunding the flippers Image

There are a lot of people on EB who haven't received one either. It's a holiday weekend, just be patient. I waited close to two weeks for my peace dove shipping confirmation because of the embosser issue, I'm sure you'll get it Tuesday or Wednesday

Cool cool. I haven't bought a print in quite some time from OG so I wasn't sure how things worked anymore. :mrgreen:

Showed up today. It's awesome! Only quasiunawesome comment is that the red is much brighter than the Dove, my display plan was to use the same maple frame and have my 2nd floor hallway the hallway of obey letterpress. I may have to rethink my plan.

But it's super awesome, especially due to the importance of the imagery to Fairey's entire body of work.

I will go absolutely bananas if there is a letterpress 'icon'.

Just opened mine. I have to say, this is SICK! Way better than the dove, which I love. I was going to try and trade mine, but after seeing it in person, I am seriously rethinking this
