It’s just beautiful… and the stock it’s printed on is quality (meaning ‘heavy & thick’)… Absolutely worth framing under glass.

We got print #4411/5000.

We feel so fortunate to have been able to not only afford one of these Numbered posters (just couldn’t manage a Signed one for $500… so many medical expenses this year, *sigh*), but to also have the additional feeling that this Numbered poster gives us… My husband and I are very active politically, as I am sure most of you are here, and when we opened the package and unrolled the poster, we both just burst into tears all over again… it so took us back to all the hard work everyone has done to make Obama’s presidency a reality… and then to election night.

We will treasure this poster always, and pass it on as an heirloom to our children, and their children, so they can, too, can behold a piece of our nation’s American History.

For those who have expressed a feeling of being cheated because MoveOn is now selling UnSigned and UnNumbered posters at a discount, I wish to say this: Being a Collector myself, the Signed and/or Numbered posters will retain a much higher value than the UnSigned and/or UnNumbered posters printed on inferior stock.

What you must keep in mind tho is ‘Provenance’. Keep all your records of the sale: your Credit Card receipt, the Email Confirmation, even the Email offering the poster to you from MoveOn. Print them out on acid-free paper, place them in acid-free sheet protectors, and put away for safe keeping. All these things will establish and maintain that what you have is the authentic, special, Limited Edition.

We are proud to own this little piece of history. I hope you are too.

I placed my order within two minutes of the order page appearing so I was the 250th person to place an order I’m guessing (the first 1000 being the signed ones).

Awesome work Shepard. I’m a fan

When he gets to 1000/5000 (the ones he will later sign) he’ll start a new stack.

They’ll end up with two piles, 0001/1000 and 1001/5000.

Assuming each print isn’t flipped after being numbered and placed on the “done” stacks, the highest numbers will be on top.

So it really boils down to how the sort the mailing list.

If it’s first come first served, the people who ordered first will get the highest numbers (5000/5000 on down) unless of course the flip the whole stack in which case early orderers will get the lowest numbers.

Unless of course the list is in alphabetical order or some other meaningless format.

Needless to say if I get 2008/5000 I’ll be sure to donate the maximum I can to moveon.org next month

Hi J….,

We have not yet determined who will get which print number. If you ordered
a signed print, it will be from numbers 1-1000. Unsigned prints will be in
the range from 1001-5000. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate
requests for specific numbers.

Thanks for all you do,

Now, that’s not exactly what I asked (wanting to request a number), I just asked what would be assigned. It makes me slightly more weary that they aren’t going to go in order.

Also the posters are just that, posters not prints.

Dear MoveOn member,

Thanks so much for ordering a Limited Edition print of “Yes We Did—Victory!” by Shepard Fairey. This email confirms that you’ll be receiving one of the Limited Edition prints from the run of 5,000.

Since Shepard is overseeing the production of these prints, and each one needs to be numbered by hand, we expect production to take a few weeks. Once your print is ready, we’ll pack it carefully and ship it to you via UPS or FedEx. At that point, we’ll let you know that it’s shipped and send you a tracking number to ensure that your print arrives promptly and safely. In all, we expect the process to take 5—7 weeks from your order date.

The Limited Edition prints sold out in an incredible 24 minutes. In the process, we raised critical funds to help keep the organizing going after this amazing victory. We know that Barack Obama can’t do this on his own. With your help, we’re gearing up to help him pass major progressive reforms, like health care and clean energy.

And because the demand for the “Victory” design has been so tremendous—and this campaign will require significant resources—we’ve also started offering a poster version to campaign donors. These posters are not part of the Limited Edition, will not be numbered, and are not printed to the same specifications or on the same stock as the Limited Edition.

Thanks again for your generous support. Your contribution is instrumental as we help President-elect Obama pass his progressive agenda.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us at xxxxxxxxxx@moveon.org

Thanks for all you do.
