...For Ctein's Grand Finale full-sized dye transfer sale: 160 prints can be sold, and then th-th-th-that's all.
Ctein has finished most of the matrices and the trial printings with the pictures I selected, and sorted and inspected his paper supply (a painstaking and time-consuming process).
The sale will be announced and the picture choices revealed at noon, Central Time (Chicago's time zone), on Wednesday, April 17th. The sale goes for five days or until all 160 are sold, whichever comes first.
We're doing some press releases on this sale, too, to galleries, museums, and collectors, so you'll be competing with the outside world to some extent. (Just this time. Mostly our offers are just for loyal TOP readers.)
I don't want anyone to say they weren't aware of the start time, so I'll be announcing it a couple more times before the hour arriveth. It's possible the sale will last the whole five days with prints left over, but to be honest I think it's going to be a quick sell out. I just don't want anyone to come to me after the fact and complain they weren't warned.
You can't reserve one before the sale, sorry. Well, I can, but I'm special... :-)

(P.S. These print sales are what are funding my profligate camera buying and renting. With every successful sale, I buy myself one present and sock whatever's left over in the bank. Even so, Ye Big Dragoon was cheating.)

Mike, how about letting us see the possible selections beforehand so we'll have a bit of time to make a decision? With only 160 prints available, I suspect they'll go quickly.
