Well...heck yeah. Ida paid $150 for that too in a heartbeat. I messaged @Legion Para back and forth about the print I was interested in and purchased. Didn't wanna clutter this thread up. I thought I was buying an original and afterwards,thought I bought a reproduction. The seller turned out to be Shenandoah University in Winchester,VA. Saturday,I sent them some questions about the print,but didn't get a reply until this morning. Here it is:They certainly don't seem cheap to me! You must remember that with the recession of '08 the bottom fell out of the collectibles market and that certainly includes art prints too. I was especially pleased when a couple of years ago visiting Gettysburg I found one shop on Steinwehr Ave. (Mustang - as in airplane?) that had all their prints onsale at reduced prices. I couldn't resist one I'd never been all that fond of, Troiani's 1999 Jackson is With You, largely because they had two of them at approximately $150 each, which I figured must be close to original publication price. I bought it from the shop and was able to examine it and the rest of their entire stock, so have no question as to authenticity.

"Good morning!
We did receive your questions. The prints have been stored flat in cardboard boxes, inside an office that has a thermostat, usually around room temperature. There should not be any damage to the print, I just decided to list them all as good condition. These prints were donated to Shenandoah University years ago, so when we went through them to do our inventory list we found that this print only had one certificate of authenticity for 2 copies and we've already sold one copy which the certificate was given to. The print number we have is 349. The print will be shipped rolled in a mailing tube via FedEx home ground delivery. Please let me know if you're still interested in this print so we can work on getting that shipped out today.
Thank you!"
Not sure what I bought now.
