i was wondering the same, how did the printer get such a good image to start with if the final went directly from topps to ebay buyer. seller is on the ug, nice dude...i should ask him the background of where he picked it up etc. i'd love to pick up other prints like this if they were available. i like ted, but so many other characters i'd go nuts for. but pretty cool to be able to see some good detail for double digits price vs 6 hahaa. I think he said in his listing that he has prints of other characters. I’d be all over a Toady Terry print! I’m not sure why Topps hasn’t sold on-demand prints of classic OS characters. I would happily pay $40 for a print. Seems like a no-brainer to me, but then again I ain’t no genius Topps executive neither. ya that's way too good of an idea to be throwing around the topps boardrooms...we would actually love those!!! ya seller said he might put some others up in coming months, i have my eyes peeled. oh ya toady terry would be super sick! i'd love ned head or so many os2s. fowl raoul too of course. knowing the detail is pretty in tact, almost every character would rock as a substitute for grails which will never see the light of day again lol.

Yeah, all the good OS art is either gone or costs $15k+. Bring on the prints!

We have a better shot with him than we do with Topps.

gauging old folks with a 10,000% markup on n-95 masks has its perks! I almost had enough toilet paper to make this deal happen. Congrats though!

We have a better shot with him than we do with Topps. it sounded like he bought them years ago and has had them in storage, but ill ask him. ya topps would never create a product like those, they're making too much money off the virtual cards and blank backs. sad that there's so little great art around that we are left to drool over the mere possibility of prints haha. but ya, fingers crossed!

I had contact with the owner of the actual final a while ago. I was asking arround on old contacts if he had some low range finals. His respond was I only have the zombie and you can come back when you become rich lol.

No, don’t ask. I wasn’t being serious, just trying to make the point that Topps is the last place that would make and sell prints of their own stuff. That we’d have a better chance with some random guy than we would with the actual company that made GPK in the first place. And yeah, there isn’t a lot of great OS art around. Especially for me, since I’m not on Facebook. Luke Puke and Cracked Crystal sold recently, but I had no idea and therefore no chance to get them. So I am limited to whatever gets put for sale here or on eBay. Which means maybe 1-2 pieces a year, if I’m lucky. Since that’s the case, I have to weigh my options. Do I save $3k to $6k in the false hope that an OS piece will become available to me? And even if one does, will it be one I would want to buy? I feel like for the most part, the good pieces are bought and sold on Facebook, and so I would get only the scraps. My preferred option is to buy Mark’s art instead. Other than Pound’s work, Mark’s is the best stuff out there. There are plenty of good pieces still available, and at a fraction of the cost. I can buy at least 4 to 6 finals from Mark for the same price as one OS final. And I already own two amazing OS Pound finals. So unless I can buy a true OS grail, I’d rather add half a dozen Ping finals to my wall than just one piece.

Maybe wait a month and he’ll trade it for toilet paper and a virus test.

I know I sound like a snob, but I'm only interested in actual original paintings. Something about them being one of a kind really tickles my tinglies. Prints just don't do it for me, in GPK and all other art.

I have no issue owning a print when I have no chance of ever owning the original art. Better to have a print of a piece I like rather than nothing at all.

I see only links:

Post by fowlraoul on Mar 23, 2020 21:05:25 GMT -5
yes, right now they're just links to a social media platform. looks like i cannot make these into non-links on the ug. the way i would get to having straight photos w no links is through a different service. i am just learning it would cost a lot more...like 1.75 per full res image at the current rate. this is pretty new, and im sure prices for data storage on bsv are going to drop in the next year. i hate dropbox and paying them year after year, i would love to completely own my data eventually. this pic works, but was only like 5 cents because super low res. ill let you know if i find a good solution, maybe just compress all the gpk pics a little and they'd be much cheaper.

managed to get this other server to work, but even a low res image which i compressed by 50% was 15 cents. it's file size dependent, still pretty expensive for image hosting. was hoping for like a 1/2 cent better for family photos and docs that have value, not for messageboards yet. for comparison, here's the full res image below

fowlraoul I will trade you a box of the unoriginal cards, a box of original cards, and $20,000 (Monopoly money) for Pegleg Peter. That’s right, you have a serious buyer here. If you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch, son.

Think about what a deal this is and I'll break it down even more! Cards - So good to look at and collect and they can be profesionally graded. This is where they tell you how good condition this is and put it in hard plastic. If you send in a painting they do none of this and say go back and get some cards - SAD! Cash money- Always can get you want you want with cold hard cash. Take a Priate painting to the store for your crying babies dirty butts and you will get confused looks and crying kids with poop butts. - SAD! Take some cash and they say here is some TP and all the other things you need!!! Its not too good to be true its a real deal lets make this happen!
