  • Second Chance for Declaration of Principles Print

    Along with the announcement of Volume 11 of the Script Books comes the announcement that 50 lucky people can buy the Limited Edition Declaration Print. From the newsletter:

    Lottery for Prints 451-500

    Last July we released a limited edition run of 500 Declaration of Principles framed prints, signed and numbered by J. Michael Straczynski. (See sample at left.)

    As you may recall, in order to get one you had to be at your computer at a specific time to order and they were first come, first serve only until the amount we allotted ran out -- which happened in hours.

    After we announced the print, but before they went on sale we received dozens of emails from people who couldn't be at a computer at the time they went on sale because of summer vacations, jobs with no computer access, or time zones which put the "on sale" time in the middle of the night.

    Not having considered these scenarios before we sent out the announcement, we realized that to be fair we had only one choice: to hold back 10% of the prints and make them available at a later date in such a way that people would not have to be at their computers at a specific time.

    With the release of Volume 11, which includes the script for "The Paragon of Animals", which features the Declaration of Principles, we decided this was the appropriate time.

    In order to offer these without people having to be at their computer at a specific time we are offering the 50 prints "lottery style". This means that the 50 names will be drawn at random from a database of folks that indicate that they want one.

    To be in the running for the chance to get a print, just go to www.DeclarationOfPrinciples.com and provide your contact information. The form will be available through Monday, April 16.

    On Tuesday, April 17 we are going to RANDOMLY draw 50 names using special randomizing software so that everyone has an equal chance. We will then contact the "winners" by email and they will have 48 hours to place their order. Prints will be fulfilled in the exact order that people RSVP and will begin with number 451 through 500.

    There are only 2 conditions.

    (1) You put your name in only once;
    (2) You do not already own a Declaration of Principles print.

    For complete details about the actual print (how it's made, the materials used, price, etc) click here:

    IMPORTANT NOTE TO FOLKS WHO ORDERED A DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES PRINT LAST JULY:
    We want to assure you that the integrity of the original print run is intact. These ARE the original prints, numbers 451-500 from the original batch. NO ADDITIONAL PRINTS were made.

      Not worth it at the price.

        No argument that it's expensive, FuryPilot. But I have to say that I was also pleasantly surprised at the high quality it turned out to be. The limited edition, the signature and the items that came in the envelope along with the Certificate of Authenticity all added up to it being worth the price to me.

            I have no doubt that the quality is superb, and if you have a "collector's bent" then this is a good find.

            I'm just not a collector.

            PS - At one point, just about a week before JMS announced the prints in the first place, I turned to my wife (who is a professional calligrapher) and said "we should email JMS and do a deal to sell his Declaration of Principles prints".

            Great minds, and all that.
