Pre-War Prints For Sale

[slantycouch]

This is a paid ad.

Hi All,

Being at home for a few weeks prompted me to kickstart a project originally conceived about ten years ago. Please find it here: Pre-War Prints.

The goal of this effort is to bring beautifully restored, high quality prints of vintage baseball images back to life and onto walls. Our inaugural print is a painstakingly cleaned up composite of the best known examples, and we hope you'll be pleased with the outcome. It's stunning in person, and the price is much more approachable than the original!

To keep it interesting, this, and all subsequent prints, are being sold on a one month timed-release, meaning we'll take orders for 30 days, then print, number and ship the artwork. In this way, the final print run is decided by the community.

I'm announcing the June print a little early on N54 because this place has always been so helpful... and because we're just really excited to get some feedback. If you're interested in purchasing a copy of our 1st print, please PM me before checking out and I'll provide a personal code for free shipping.

There is a group of incredibly talented and knowledgeable folks who have assisted with the project and I'm truly excited to have it see the light of day. I hope that you might be as well.

Thanks for your interest!
Chris

I'm loving that "Matty" print! Hoping that's the next one up! Beautiful work.

And thanks, Jay!

Proof samples of the custom COA's arrived today -- thought some folks here would be interested to see them. One will accompany each print and be numbered to match. Was fun to envision a mash up of T206/T205.

Final bump to remind everyone today is the last day to pre-order our inaugural print. Details at www.prewarprints.com.

Thanks to the Net54 crew for the great feedback and support. Truly excited to ship these out to everyone!

+1 great work, Chris!

Loving this! (the graininess is only in my photo, it looks amazingly crisp and clear in-person)

[slantycouch]

Looks great, Trae! Thanks for sharing!

I knew from the get-go I wasn’t going to framing any of these because I’d never be able to choose and I don’t have the wall space for all of them, but I finally picked up a nice portfolio and am really excited about how they look. This album is going to be stunning when it’s full. Great job, Chris!

Any chance any prior prints will be offered again? Would love to get my hands on a Matty and a Cobb but I missed out on both of them.

[Bpm0014]

Same. I’d love one of cap and buck.

It's their policy to never reprint or reissue a past print. This is mainly done so it's not a flooded market with prints that can be bought at any time. Because it would then become a product that has no value and likely a company that gets lost in the world of mass production.

Conor, thanks so much for posting! They look great in the portfolio. I definitely understand not having enough wall space, and it's great that they'll still see daylight this way.

And Ron, that would be great!! If it happens, I say make those trades!
