Hi I am new here but i love Stiks work so when I spotted a vendor on the way to work this morning i brought his last 7 copies. I have just checked them now on my lunch break and turns out I have:

1x orange unsigned
1x yellow unsigned
1x red unsigned
4x blue all signed and dated

So I'm thinking maybe I can get myself a full signed set together so if you have any other colour signed ones and would like to trade it for a blue signed one let me know please.

Thank you

Definitely interested by your UNsigned ones (as I have only 3 blues, 2 I could swap / give-away...)

Any yellow or orange spare ?

same here ....

Pete I defo have a yellow if you want that..

How orange are the orange ones?!
I thought I had a big pile of reds, but I think I have a mix of red and orange, which looks more like a slightly lighter yellowey red than the other (pillar-box) red ones I have, originally assumed there was some colour difference on the run as litho printed etc but now I think not...

So if I do indeed have "orange" ones too then Pete you're welcome to one of those too...
Away for the weekend but will update on Monday what I have and will distribute the rest from there  =]

So you have any more spare orange at all??

[twist65]

If they are actually orange and not slightly faded red, then yes and you can of course have one.
i'll post on monday how many of each I'll be able to distribute to forumites =]

Thanks.. Just need a yellow

Friends boy will be happy

[frezza]

How orange are the orange ? Just got in and my OH has picked up 2 reds and 2 oranges today (or at least 2 are definitely lighter)

[dazzer1973]

Any one Want to sell one orange and a yellow

[skitchy]

I can confirm the orange ones are at first glance quite similar to red, but there is a subtle difference!

My local big issue guy had been putting oranges aside so I was lucky to complete the set!

(not sure how reliable this info is...but)
He also thought that it was impossible for a vendor to have more than one signed poster - he claimed that stik only went in once to sign and that they were evenly distributed to 1 signed poster per stack! So watch out for dodgy signatures!!

I think there will be more than a few dodge signatures out there. also considering how many people say on ebay they got the 1/15 signed Deep posters by stik and don't panic and yet its seems like 30+ have sold on ebay.

However I gather on the days stik took to the streets he signed several posters of each vendor so that may account for some of it. + There will be variation between how each distributor organised this in different cities or they were even aware

I just saw a set of 3 signed are almost at $200 on the bay.

I think it is cool what Stik did. I am fortunate enough to have a couple of Stik's pieces at my house and I know many of us on this board are in that same boat. So I have to ask: What are people thinking?

If I were in the UK, I would show my support for the project and buy a few. But the RAREST color is still at 5,000 copies... By any sane persons logic, that is NOT rare.

So buy a few, if you buy more than you need, then just give them to friends.

It's supposed to be a charitable act, but it seems this forum can turn anything into a flipping nightmare.

[brookesjoe]

Wow people buying Big Issue magazines, for the Stik print, well done people!

[brookesjoe]

Fully just puked in my mouth.

[Ruggs]

I think a few people should see this from a different perspective. Wednesday lunchtime my local Big Issue seller Monica told me that she had sold, including a set me and a work colleague purchased, 15 full sets, which equates to £150, by yesterday she said she had sold all the sets she had and had very few zines left to sell on. She'd had a very good week indeed and was very happy that this particular 'special edition' had done so well. So, well done to Monica, well done Big Issue and well done to you people whatever your motives for going out and purchasing a copy or four and more.

[Pistol]

Sorted with me orange! Cooool!

[bankside]

Ikea do a frame(NORRLIDA) for £8 and its a pretty good size for this print

[psycho666]

Wow! I want a complete set even more now!

How did you mount the print in the frame? Did you iron out the folds?

They look excellent.

Hello mate, yes ironed them flat and just mounted them in the frames. The mount that comes with the frame is white on the otherside I think the black looks better
Thanks

[psycho666]

Whether I get a few or a complete set, I'm going to get them framed the same way. They look perfect!

Any tips on ironing the folds out? I saw people talking about this but I'd be worried about making the paper look rippled.

I just ironed the creases out and not the whole print.. I didn't use any water and didn't go mad with the iron ! Just a couple times over the creases

[psycho666]

Cheers. I was thinking that maybe ironing the folds on a hard surface, rather than the padded ironing board, might help reduce the chances to rippling the paper as well.

Fingers crossed I can source a complete set now!

Ok so seems nobody is interested in a trade so the chances of getting a signed set are looking slim.
so im going to keep one of each colour to frame, and sell the spare 3 signed ones.

If anybody is interested in a signed blue print it will be £20. The full amount will then be given to the vendor hopefully i can surprise him with £60. the mag is included also.


100% genuine i have no reason to lie and all profit going to the vendor

thanks

Shouldn't it be like this every week and not just when theres a crap folded up stik poster in it?
