Gregorski Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 What is your man who said it wouldn't sell saying now? OK. so here's the full story. As you know he's a sports artist himself and mainly does paintings of the New york Giants. His original response when I told the amount of pre-orders I'd received on here was "You'll be doing extremely well to get 2% of that." He wasn't leaving it open for discussion. That was gong to be the case. When I told him that I'd sold more than ninety in the first twenty four hours his first response was "great! you'll be taking my advice from now on then eh?". Wasn't sure what that meant at all but never mind. To be honest, I think it's just a difference in fan culture. The main thing he really couldn't get my head around was why the supporters were doing all this fundraising in the first place and why I was giving up all my spare time to do it. He was just really incredulous about the whole thing. So I basically asked him this question, "Are you trying to tell me that if the New York Giants were in the same position and were in danger of going to the wall, the fans wouldn't do the same?" "Yes" he replied. "If they'd gotten themselves into that position then it would just be tough. They'd just let them die." It was my turn to be incredulous. The funniest part was when I handed him my ipad with this thread up and he just sat there scrolling through all the comments in disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregorski Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi Just received a second print in the mail today No 2/250, I only ordered one, can you let me know who should have got 2/250 ie their address etc and I will mail it to them. Laurence Oh crikey! Yeah, I know what has happened here. It basically all started the first night when my brother and I were up mailing all the prints at the Livingston post office HQ. To my distress my brother stuck your one in the postbox with the UK postal amount on it by mistake. After a Darth Vader-esque "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" from me, I resolved to go and get you another print(I got a few emergency spares made up in order to be prepared for feck ups like this) and mailed it the next day with the correct postage. I was of the mistaken assumption that you were to get number 2/250. Clearly not though and now there are two number 2's in existence. The one that you have and the other belongs to who knows who. I had no idea what would happen to the one that got mailed to you with the incorrect postage. clearly it got their no bother. I thought it would either get mailed back to me or be lost forever in a Royal Mail type black hole. So, I now have no idea what to do with this one that you have. I don't suppose it's fair to sell it on as the person who has the real number two would feel hard done by. Damn it, it was all going so well as well I was quite happy to take this story of the wrongly mailed Ozzy print screw up to the grave as well. We'll work something out. I'm happy for it to be raffled on here with the number erased I suppose. Would be a limited, limited edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorski Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Actually, now I think of it, I wouldn't mind gifting it to the 1874 Fighting Fund along with the cash donation. Just to thank them for everything they do for the club. Sound like a good idea? I've still to raffle/auction numbers 1, 15 and 51 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
