Speaking of... if APs exist for Mondo posters, it sounds like someone smart actually told these guys to hang onto them for a while. It would be great if the artists can benefit from these after-market prices at some point.
HC, from what I understand, some artists elect to pass on the Mondo check (or maybe take less up front at least) in exchange for selling a certain number of their APs. This number is usually not that high, it depends on the run of the inital print. For example, Durieux sold a handful of Jaws APs for $150 recently, which is a fair price. Many artists who do sell their APs will price theirs higher than the original drop price but less than the ebay going rate. I think it is a good system...Olly Moss seems to do well this way, and I prefer to purchase APs directly from the artists, but it is usually MUCH harder to go that route vs. the Mondo drop as a collector/buyer obviously.
All they have to do is print more
Chris, give it up already my man. That is cool you don't collect and hate Mondo, we get it.
At least do a quick fact check instead of believing your own assumptions.
As T said, these are numbered and the edition is presented before the drop, that is how one knows how many there are. These aren't like regular movie posters...but you knew that already.
Mondo has never printed more and never will. They have repeatedly said this.
I dont know what the offers were. I said that 3 had been offered this seller and that all 3 had been declined. This is easily viewable on the ebay listing page.
So what?
