I got the Fink one (missed the signed ones) and a Bucking Bronco... I am surprised more haven't gotten these. %00 of each of those made and the BB is awesome if a little too big for my taste, I wish it was more on par with the Fink Theater Litho's size.
To me, the Boardwalk print almost feels like it belongs in the paint department at Home Depot or something; to help people decide on a color for their living room.

I have one of the signed Finks and a Bucking Bronco as well - lovely designs.

Back on track, all the sold out items have pretty much been taken off the store now, so I wonder if that is it for the books?
I did some heavy complaining and when I finally got to a higher up he said he would do something about it and then they came down. (not sure why as this solved nothing)


And yes the designs on those are awesome... I missed the signed ones

BUT I got a signed Litho for Free from friend at PAX so I am not complaining really..

Yeah knight I got one of the boardwalk pictures, it looks good framed for what it is. The only reason I really got it was because I missed out on the signed lithographs. They dropped the ball on it though. The certificate is signed by Ken which is nice but the print should be signed and numbered its no fun with the auto in an envelope. The artist should have signed it also, btw have you guys ever gotten anything for complaining? I'm still arguing with them about the signed book cancellation, I feel they owe me something since I had a legit order but they decided to hand out copies instead, they only tried to reassure me by saying they will try to limit rare items to one per person, that's it.

Same here... they don't seem to care about making it right.

I just asked for a refund finally (on the art book as well... i would rather not buy from them unless I have to, plus i found it shipped cheaper somewhere else).

To be honest with everyone here. I like signed collectibles like every one here on this forum. But i have to ask, about how many of these midnight lithos were signed on that day. Let's do the math shall we?

there were four locations where Irrational Games staff present if my memories serves my correctly. One of which location Mr. Ken Levine and staff were on hand to sign. The real prized are those that were signed by Ken Levine. So, my best guesses. There were probably more than 200 that attended the midnight launch..--uh the one in Boston. Maybe more. So in my eyes these signed lithos aren't exactly rare in my opinion. If however, a signed (# numbered) collectibles accompany with a certificate of authencity is more highly prized.

My speculation is Mr. Levine is a very nice guy and probably signed autographs like he passed out Halloween candies. So that's a pretty big red flag for me. No disrespecting to Mr. Ken Levine in anyway.

I've collected sports cards in my days so if there a highly profile autographs like a May, a Ruth or a Williams flooding the market. The overall value isn't great. That's just my takes on it anyway.

I was at the ny event in the city. It was such a rainy night but it ended up stopping when we were getting the midnight release posters signed. I would say alot didnt show up because of the weather. I would say around 50-75 people were there and they were not giving away extra midnight posters other than the ones they signed for us. The guy working at irrational told me they were going to burn the extras.

I would say they are rare, not because i have one but because there are very appealing posters and not many people showed, If it were 7,000 people, thats a diff story. I drove an hour and a half to get one haha, i didnt even live in the city. I think the whole midnight release thing adds value because there werent many people.

People from foreign countries who obviosully didnt get a chance to get one are probably looking to get them which increases rarity and value as well.

I can confirm the Toronto midnight launch was about as big.

Definitely not in the multiple hundreds. One straight line-up across the store, definitely closer to 50-75. And 75 is really pushing it.

I'd speculate the Boston location had the most people show up and the most posters signed because Ken was there, so oddly enough despite their high value and rarity of the signature itself they're probably the most common.

so what do you guys think are the rarest of the five? It seems that the west coast posters (LA/San Francisco) are the rarest while I'm seeing a flood of the Toronto and NY posters. Boston is up there too.
