"For information, I got new Certificates of Authenticity for two prints in the Retrospectrum sets (Taxi, Cactus) last Friday. I had already received refunds in December.
I think that the only difference between the original C of As and new ones is…"
"Thanks for info. Ian W-B has tried pretty hard for you - and Castle's good name - and probably got as much information as can or will be forthcoming. The underlying Dylan-team case for the 2020 Mondos is that Dylan signed them at a California…"
"Good luck again. Your polite, reasonable approach will hopefully pay off. I'm intrigued if he is just trying to get some proof to show just your own Mondo print has Dylan's real signature or is trying to prove the whole 2020 Mondo set…"
"Credit where credit's due... I received refunds into my bank account today from Castle for Retrospectrum prints. The thread title is concerned with 'returns-refunds'. I've got them. Castle has been as good as its word after I had…"
"Condescending and fictionally fanciful ('huge increase') answer.
Watch what Eugene Monaghan now does legally re his Mondo 2020 prints after the holiday.
This set of six released in 2020, and the four Asia prints released in 2021, now…"
"Direct from Ian W-B: that reflects concern maybe that you could be the legal thin end of a wedge.
I have an Asia piece from 2021 - it drops into the lockdown era with the 2020 Mondo Scripto prints. So, I for one, remain interested in what you hear…"
"Hi Eugene,
Was this signed by Ian W-B or an individual? Otherwise, Castle may have now decided to try to take a consistent, corporate stand. Battening down the hatches.
I think Castle is concerned or you would not have got this lengthy response.…"
"This 'Bob' in this teen signature is not far off the 'Bob' used in the earlier prints - Train Tracks and Woman in Red Lion of 2008, 2010, 2012 vintage. No prominent single or double loops."
"My daughter's just explained 'My bad' to me. I'm getting well out of touch!
I may have inadvertently helped the seller of Cigar Store on EBay, giving him or her a tiny bit of publicity. The price of the auto signed print has…"
"FedEx picked up my certs this morning ...
Anyone who wants to get some sort of current realistic value for the auto signed Retrospectrum prints might like following an EBay auction.
Cigar Store is up for auction sale at the moment. Why? I…"
"Out of interest, is there anyone out there posting here who bought a Sunset Monument Valley print at the £25,000 price?
I admired the triptych in a Castle gallery and thought, even if I could afford it, there wasn't enough room for it for…"
"Castle is almost certainly way off being near your 'bottom line' - or Ian W-B would be emerging with some snippets of proof ...
I've just received a package via FedEx to return my C of As. There is provision to include details…"
"Been a bit slow on the 'Black Buffalo' since I now remember and see the name's down as Printer and co-Publisher on my two C of As that I'm waiting to return. Envelope(s) not yet arrived.
You're right though. It's a…"
"Thank you Eugene for the message from Dylan.
Who are Dylan's 'my team' - lawyers, friends, art experts, his son Jesse?
How do 'Black Buffalo' tie in - are employees there in the team?
At the least, the team should have tried…"
