This print is the officially released version that sold out in seconds. It is from an edition of 600 and is signed by the creator of the image, extremely popular artist Shepard Fairey. Just read what Obama has to say about it all-[b] "I would like to thank you for using your talent in support of my campaign. The political messages involved in your work have encouraged Americans to believe that they can change the status quo. Your images have a profound effect on people, whether seen in a gallery or on a stop sign. I am privileged to be a part of your artwork and proud to have your support. sincerely Barack Obama" (from a letter written to Shepard Fairey from Obama in February of this year)[/b] I believe now more than ever that Barack Obama will be our next president. Obama is nearing a 10 point lead in the polls, and McCain is doing every thing he can do to shoot himself in the foot. The price of print will surely skyrocket once he is elected just has it has every week since its release in february. This is no doubt that this will be the piece to own 20 years down the road. Unfortunately for me, i have a large amount of college loans to pay, so this is your chance to own a part of history. It is the signed and numbered officially released print of Baracks amazing campaign. There was only 600 made which makes this hands down one of the rarest Obama related things someone could own. To give some perspective, there will be over 60 million people voting for Obama, and only 600 of them will be able to own the print. Perfect for ant collectors portfolio or to be framed and displayed proudly by a supporter. What makes the print i am selling even more special is that it is is absolute MINT condition. I am the original owner and i have stored it flat in a mylar sleeve (acid free material that protects the print). Be wearing of others being sold that are being held down by weights; that means the print has been stored rolled up in its tube for over 6 months and may have sustained sustainable damage due rolling or the acidic qualities of the kraft paper and tube. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. dead mint. perfectly cared for. OFFICIAL. signed and numbered by the artist. I am starting this auction at .99 and have a pretty low reserve. Please feel free to ask any questions. Buyer must have a confirmed address with paypal- NO Exceptions (this is to protect both me and you). The shipping is high to cover the cost of insurance. The print will be packaged safely in a very sturdy tube. Good Luck, and GO OBAMA please note that any scratches/reflections/fogginess is due to the protective sleeve that the print is safely being stored in. This is completely safe and the only true archival way to protect art. Like i mentioned earlier, the print is stunning and in mint condition. Place a Bid!
