Vera Stove print has arrived!

I received my Vera Stove Print with a "Certificate of Authenticity" today via UPS Ground. At the bottom of the painting "The Solvers" (all of us) are listed. Very Happy

Received mine as well. It's very well done...printed on a nice, heavy rag. Unfortunately, mine arrived with the shipping tube having been crushed in one spot and creased in another. When opened, the print looks like someone rode over it with a bicycle. A mountain bike. Several times. And the rider was very heavy. Did I mention the tires may have been wet as well? It's thrashed, suitable only for the garbage. Crying or Very sad

Sucks when you wait so long for something only to have it destroyed by careless handling.

Try selling the trashed version on eBay. Make up some fantastical lies about how it was destroyed MIB trying to destroy the evidence of WIBS (wait, i bet thats where the trojan came from!) Foily! Foily! Foily!!

You never know, people outside the US might bid on it.

Plus, i suggest talking to BrianEnigma. I'm sure you 2 could work something out.

The poster is quite a bit bigger than I expected. The tube is about 2ft long. If no one else gets to it before me, I'll post pictures in the morning. Smile

I got a mailing tube!

I got an actual certificate of authenticity!

(I think I will frame the latter.)

The border around the painting is definitely wide enough to stick thumbtacks thru without interfering with the print.

Anyone know if the list of "Solvers" names is from the forums membership or the petition?

no scans yet, so it is up to me to do the transcription (I doubt that a scan would be legible, as the script font is rather small)
Quote:
Certificate of Authenticity

This certificate hereby certifies, in the most certificial way possible, that the Limited Edition Vera Stove Print hereby presented to you, esteemed member of WhoIsBenjaminStove.com this Seventh day of April, Two thousand six, is an Actual, Genuine Reproduction of the Actual painting actually purchased at the actual Stove Estate Sale in 1988 by Tucker "Actual" Darby, actually. Accept no imitations!

This handsome collectible has been deemed "suitable for framing" by the A.S.F.F.T.* but hey, if you wanna just stick it to your wall with thumbtacks, or that gummy stuff that ends up geetting all linty, then I guess it's your prerogative, but it'll probably end up sagging and not really looking all that great. I mean, come on, you're getting the poster for free, what, you can't shell out twenty bucks for a frame? Dude, even on of those cheap plastic ones would do the trick, really. Aren't you getting kinda sick of looking at that poster of the old movie stars hanging out in the diner by now anyway? I think it's time for the ol' switcheroo, but hey, that's just me, I guess. Anyway, enjoy!

Signed, Tucker Darby

*American Society For Framing Things. Sheesh, are you really gonna go look it up in a search engine? You guys never quit, do you?
