hey all,

I want to buy one of the Obama prints, but firstly I'm a bit stuck in terms of trying to get my head around the various versions and releases that have been produced. Any help in understanding this would be v much appreciated, as would any helpful links setting this out.

Likewise if you have any for sale, in mint condition and first class provenance, let me know.

Cheers,

naughty

I have a signed but not numbered from the manifest hope show in Washington. Unfortunetly it has decided to go and hide if I find it I will sell it to you at whatever the going rate is. As far as provenance I really don't have any all I can say is I bought it directly from the show and no receipts were given. I also bought that really nice Amy Martin print at same show signed and numbered if your interested. As I said both are on the missing list since I moved house but search parties can be arranged.

Try the print database on thegiant.org:

thegiant.org/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Prints

All the prints you're looking for are listed under "Obama".

IMHO, this is the one to go for (since it is the very first and has the Obey Face on it, too):

thegiant.org/wiki/index.php/Obama_Progress

(And no, I don't have one )

cheers Murdock - v v helpful indeed.

Hi rinaceirde - am looking for a signed numbered edition, so thanks anyway. Hope you find the print though!

The progress was the best IMO. It was a screenprint huge 24x36!
The hope was also 24x36 but an offset print. Much duller in colour.
Although the Hope was the most well know as that's what was used for the campaign. Similar prices.
All sold on the obey site signed and numbered.

Beware of fakes!
Oh there was also another version of the hope sold on the obey site, thinner paper if i remember correctly. signed but not numbered.Worth a lot less.

I've never personally seen a fake. I'm not too sure what first class Provence means on a Shep purchase. A paypal receipt or Order Confirmation will be the best you will find and neither have a print number. There are very few fake Shep's out there.

How much do the signed and numbered hopes go for these days, i have not seen to many about.

Check the thread about it on ebeans. Some ahole over there faking them. Think he got busted!
Not to mention a load of pasters with fake sigs.

The handful of fake Shephard sigs I've seen were really bad. I'm personally not too concerned about an obey print being fake when I buy, granted I'm very familiar with his sig. I just don't like a potential buyer (fan) being scared off because there really are very few fake Obey prints out there. If anyone is concerned with a sig post a pic on thegiant and you'll get responses real quick.

I agree but thought it was worth mentioning.
More so the dodgy pasters out there to be honest.
