No.  Of course not.  Why the hell would they do that?  It would be an awful lot of work, for one, and they're lazy as shit.

Other bands do it, a few shows didn't sell out, it could happen...and it's not like Axl is gonna be sitting there rolling lithos into tubes.

I've got an extra Chicago, will trade for NOLA, Paris, London 1, or maybe Cinci or Chicago 1

Not saying you are warpig, but you staunchly defended his actions which might draw suspicion from some to say the least.. I did a little amatuer sleuthing and this is what I found.

I will not reveal names, but anyone interested can easily find the specifics on their own.

Check warpig's eBay user Id history and you see he has been a member since 1999 and has had two user id's in that time. His first was an email address ending in "@aol.com"...

Take the user ID he has been using since 1999 and add the "@aol.com" to the end and you can probably guess his email address... warpigxx@aol.com...

Google said email address and you get a name... Initials "J.P." In Brooklyn NY...

Google this name + Brooklyn NY and it points to a business in Brooklyn NY with the initials S.F. Inc...

This business? Founded in 1983 is a small cotton mill business dealing in fabric and design. With 10 employees and about 1 million in annual sales... they are not big enough to maintain their own website, but they do own the domain.

What does all this suggest? I present to you that Warpig has access/owns printing equipment at this business location and all those tour shirts he is shilling on eBay are most definitely bootleg.

If he is bootlegging T-Shirts, he can most definitely bootleg lithographs. That would be much more lucrative for him... He acquires an original, and makes high quality copies to sell to the uninformed.

And you have to ask yourself why someone who works at a small cotton fabric business in Brooklyn NY would have an "in" with the band and be able to have access to all these special unnumbered "VIP" lithographs to sell on the secondary market?

amaninjapan and I would like to hear you admit that you just might have been wrong about warpig right about now.

 

I'm done helping people, think what you want.

I'd buy a reasonably priced (cheap) repro if it's labeled as such. 

Reasonable my mind is at or lower than the original item retailed for.

Warpig is a scam artist.  Period.  If his shit was real, he wouldn't sell them all at the same set price.

 

Also, this guy who comes leaping to his defense with only 3 posts?  Hi Warpig.  You're still a scam artist.  I'm gonna report all your fake shit from now on cause I'm sick of people getting ripped off.

Now I'm warpig? Lmao ok...

If you look at his "sold" listings, he has made thousands fleecing people with those fake lithographs. Either his customers were too stupid to realize they were getting taken, or he had some decent equipment and made high quality reproductions to the point that the buyers didn't care.

They're not fake. I think they're extras. I bought one, for curiosity sake, and it's one I owned that I bought in person, wanted to compare. They're spot on. The ink is spot on, the paper fibers are spot on. Faking these can be done, but why fake a GNR when you can fake a Sperry or Emek and take in serious $$$.

Faking these isn't as simple as a copy machine. These are printed old school printing press style...google lithography. They're printed with difffent screens of ink...you'd need the source art from the artist to get these right. I've worked in graphics, printing(screen, 4 color) for almost 20 years. They probably run an extra 50-100 prints bc it's cheaper to do that than set up with ink again and try to match the colors. Then they go through the stack and pull out ones with imperfections...and someone ends up with them, Mr. WarPig is that guy. We run extras all the time...if it's cool art you you think we trash it you're crazy...once got had 5,000 cover passes to a local bar. Saved me $5-8 a night. 

$199 imola on eBay, stateside as well...good seller got a Few from him(Miami and Winston Salem)
