So you are declining Al's refund offer because you just recently had it framed? Just curious

Thank you for asking this. I was wondering the same thing. Paying $600 or $1,200 for what is, at best, essentially a modern poster? Not to mention a constant reminder that one purchased a fake. (At least it would constantly remind me. I should not make assumptions how other people think.)

Guys:

My refund isn't a refund offer. My refund is a refund. I'd like to get the items out of the hobby, but if Steve wants to keep it hanging in his office, that's fine with me, as long as it never makes its way back into the hobby again. Both buyers will be getting refunds regardless of whether they give the pieces back to me, destroy them, hang them in their kids' bedrooms, whatever. Doesn't matter to me, both buyers are men of integrity who will not let the pieces back into the hobby.

Kudos for this.

Will you be at the East Coast National next month?
