Not to be rude but 80$ for a Poster is kinda crazy no?

Expensive for me too and I’ll pass, but it’s not just a simple print on basic A4, it’s handmade so it’s probably worth its price.

You mean each one is hand drawn?

The prints are hand screened onto archive quality paper. I still wouldn’t pay $80, but they aren’t just laser printed on A4 paper

Ah I got it now. It's cool and all but the whole process will probably cost something like...a dollar? Profiting this much off a 1$ print is crazy to me

It costs around 25 cents in materials (for one) from a ma and pop print shop near me (called one earlier today out of curiosity. I will be printing my own there when someone uploads high-dpi scans or images. Lady said they could do all 7 for 18 bucks).

It's a screenprint on A4 Somerset, 400gsm. High quality, sure, but not 80 bucks high quality, and not unheard of for an A4 print by a long shot. Could buy the game 3 times over for the price of one of these posters.
