Not single units, but limited quantities. I think they are 27"x40". Mine is in storage until I can get the time to frame it up.

And I love that the proceeds go to good causes.

Same here, I've done this once before with Andy Serkis charity postcards came personalised I got one with the virtual talk ticket and another I purchased a postcard not realising the talk came with one anyway. Considering at comic cons it would be about £100 yet the event I believe it was £15 - £25 something low like that and the funs were going to his charity that he supports was great.

I should look out for anymore like that. I know jeremy bulloch used to do something at comic cons for his photoshoots were his in costumed shoots all the proceeeds would go to a particular charity he supported.

Thanks for the info, Quadropheniac -- was able to secure the poster I wanted using your advice. I logged into Shop Pay before the drop on a separate tab so I wouldn't need to verify while checking out. Worked like a charm.

While I would've loved to see a poster with Zendaya, I'm still more than pleased.

You're welcome. Glad to see not all of them got snapped up by bots. Hopefully it buys me some good karma by helping out the community.

I'd like to know how many per drop were added because the speed they went felt like only one of each poster. I add to basket get to the shop page and its gone over and over again until towards the end I got lucky. I wasn't being picky about which poster because they all were great designs. I really wanted an action scene poster which I was pleased to see a handful of those designs were added.

Yes thank goodness for already being logged into shop account, I have my account setup to have my usa forwarding address and my uk home address for speed for low quantity moments such as these.

I hope in the coming years bots buying stuff will become illegal. So sick and tired of that sh1t.

Not gonna happen. People will always find a way to cheat if it gives them the tiniest of edges. Not condoning it. Just observing human nature.

The only way is to create a session token that prevents anyone camping on a page for more than a random ammount of time before being checked that they are human with a random quiz or test or both and a final test after purchase is being completed before sale completes to ensure a human is making the purchase.

Illegal or not wont stop anything, just tougher measures that may mean some genuine people are slowed down but at least a tougher system would prevent mass purchasing.

I've seen a flood of sellers bulk selling signed cards once again on eBay. Why would someone buy 70x signed cards at £35 each, makes no sense.
