agreed drew. some of the prints are deeply striking; yes, the reprint thing i think can scare people off. identifying the years of each piece in the sets is something i've put an eye to a couple of times.

size is primarily what i am hearing as well, but thats one of the things i love about them. the format is so strange; to think of them as crucial mid century relics of media production is kind of my angle! cheers; great to hear from you here.
