The Legend of Korra by Goef Darrow
While I'm pleased with the print itself, there are a few things that I find a little concerning.
For starters, there's a slight indentation/crease towards the top of the print. Normally, I don't mind small blemishes here and there, but this one's made more noticeable by the fact that there's not much else going on in that portion of the artwork.
Secondly, the print was advertised as a hand signed/hand numbered edition of 375. My print is number 111 of
400 and doesn't have the artist's signature..
Now I know for a fact that Geof signed these, because prior to their release, a picture was taken of him signing what looks to be all 375/400? of them.
I've been digging around for a few hours trying to make sense of this and have come up mostly empty handed. There's one on eBay that's signed by Darrow, but it doesn't indicate/show an edition number (located at the bottom left of the print in pencil, on mine at least) and the seller's description implies that all 400 were signed. Aside from that, nothing, with the exception of a few articles publicizing the artwork.
I was thinking that maybe a select few, possibly 25, were signed and sold at NYCC, but that doesn't really add up with what I'm seeing around. It's probably unlikely, but did anyone else happen to order this?
I'm at a bit of a loss for recourse.. Do I try to return it in exchange for a replacement? If so, do I cite the crease, or the discrepancy in the description? Nick.com uses Amazon to fulfill their orders and surprisingly, I've never had to return or replace anything from Amazon.
Any thoughts/advice?
