WOH Box Set - Ikea vs. Custom frame version, by floatingtrees on Jan 8, 2018 3:15:41 GMT 1, Box Set Ikea vs. Custom frame version -
Which one is preferred/better?
Is there a know date when the box sets switched over from Ikea to custom?
Does that date match the change over to stamping receipts?
Is it true that the print is better quality for the custom frame versions?
Who makes the custom frames?
Seems like the risk for buying a fake is greater with the earlier Ikea version - is this true?

WOH Box Set - Ikea vs. Custom frame version, by bjoern on Jan 8, 2018 9:24:43 GMT 1, During November the Hotel switched slowly from Ikea to custom frames. Comparing both version, which I both have in my collection, I would say that I like the customs frames a lot more since they are heavier and give the impression of quality. Comparing the print quality I can say that my versions are the same, but I have seen another version of the Ikea edition where the print was a lot brighter.
I was in the hotel during the time they changed receipts. On friday it was the old one and randomly on saturday everybody received the new "stamped" once. But due to my knowledge they only sold the custom framed editions with the new receipt.

WOH Box Set - Ikea vs. Custom frame version, by bjoern on Jan 9, 2018 9:39:57 GMT 1, What I am very curious is about is the recording of mail addresses by the hotel during the purchase of a BS. They said you will hear from us in the future. Maybe they will really give out COAs or something like that.
What do you guys think about this?

They got burnt for not keeping records in the early days, so won't do it again.

Yes and they really take care of this procedure. They always check if everything on the receipt is clearly readable. |

How could they possibly know who has sold the boxsets purchased from the hotel ? There were loads of these purchased prior to WOH starting to take the names of purchasers, how will these folks get their COA's?
Anyhow, i wouldnt want to be Ahmads postman on the day they send out the COA's.
