Shepard Fairey "Americana" Series Print Drop, by caruso on Aug 25, 2018 8:00:02 GMT 1, From what I can see on your website, your prints are terribly overpriced. Cheapest alternatives on eBay, which is not known to be especially good value.
With respect, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be nothing but a glorified flipper trying to get legitimacy by calling yourselves a gallery.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong, but if I am don't just claim so, indicate provenance and prices prior to the 'drop' - if you can even call that a drop...
I will do what I can and provide the information I am aware of to avoid members of this forum being ripped off and paying over the odds.

Great, let's have a little conversation.
Official retailer of Shepard Fairey prints? Can you please develop that notion?
For the record, Shepard never sells his prints higher than the original price. Why do you?

That was back in the day!
In regards to other comments: We have worked with Shepard for a long time. This is not the first time we have done this. If you signed up we hope you get the print you want - The drop will happen at a reasonable time for European folks. Thanks for the support.

Shepard Fairey "Americana" Series Print Drop, by maddoghoek100 on Aug 29, 2018 0:55:45 GMT 1, There is nothing new here. Black book is a gallery. They are reputable enough and have been selling old inventory direct from Shepard for what feels like a few years now. Their prices are higher than I would pay and probably above fair market, but there is nothing fishy here. It is just a gallery advertising their wares.
There are deffinitly no discounts, bargains, or values to be found, but perhaps they have a slightly hard to find item if you don't want to hunt it down. Anyone want to guess pricing if they have Queen Elizabeth. I'll take 1500 as my guess.

Can you please develop that notion? For the record, Shepard never sells his prints higher than the original price. Why do you? 1) They know Shepard much better than you do so they donโt need a โfor the recordโ lesson 2) Shepard is not selling these prints so what does it matter what a legit gallery sells them for? 3) If you think these prices, from a legit obey reseller, are high then go to eBay.
Do you also complain when galleries resell Banksy prints well above the market value?

Shepard Fairey "Americana" Series Print Drop, by caruso on Aug 29, 2018 12:25:41 GMT 1, A little brown-nosing to galleries I see.
I never claimed to know Shepard, and this thread this is not a race about who we know or not.
This is about a gallery selling at extortionate prices, and me pointing that out to prevent new members from being ripped off and paying WELL over the odds. And yes eBay is incredibly cheaper than this gallery.
Allow me to repeat: EBAY IS INCREDIBLY CHEAPER THAN BLACK BOOK GALLERY
There. And until proven otherwise, I find it hard to believe Fairey would allow a gallery to sell his prints for up to over 10x the initial price, certainly not after gently lecturing everyone about this:
obeygiant.com/ebay-policy/
And how convenient they found providential support on the thread on the very day their 'drop' is scheduled, after not replying to my previous post.
Connect the dots.

Blackbook has been an official obey reseller since at least 2010 and been collecting shep for far longer. They have hosted multiple shows. your claim shep never sells for more than cost is also wrong. For the longest time he set the price as 2x initial release price. Galleries have a lot more costs than some dude selling on ebay who isn't paying rent, taxes and complaining about fees. To summarize if you don't like a price don't buy it. If it is too high it wont sell and the price will correct itself

Are they also a KAWS, Murakami, Faile, DFace, Hayuk, Hush, Eelus official reseller? Or just flipping those artists on their website...
Please, spare me the BS. Flippers united.

And no, I have no link to the above gallery.

I don't intend on purchasing anything from them - unless they find some old Eneresto Yerena pieces. And that's where my eh arises from - they were working with Ernesto Yerna years ago, back when the kid has $25 prints with extremely limited runs, which never sold out. That colored them as a legitimate gallery for me. Someone advised me to check them out for Brett Kern's stuff recently, but I couldnt recall why they seemed so familar until I connected Shepard Fairy (Ernesto's mentor) and Denver.
Yes, everyone, eBay is certainly cheaper than what galleries have, along with some of the items found on this forum (Framed deck chairs come to mind). And if you're knew, please get familiar with the market and feel free ask questions before making a big purchase.

Shepard Fairey "Americana" Series Print Drop, by Happy Shopper on Aug 29, 2018 14:28:18 GMT 1, I think the issue here is the word "Drop". Normally only used for new releases, not items "released" at secondary market prices (or above). There's a danger that some new collectors may be confused and assume these are new prints at the primary price.

Same thought here. Unusual but advertising their business and giving headsup to a forum of collectors is not bad practice.
