[INDEXED]IT: The 25th Anniversary Edition Limited Edition Artwork Portfolio

[Dan Hocker]

I try not to save the international order for last, but sometimes it's just not easy to do them mixed in, as it's far, far easier to print the postage when they are sorted out by shipping method.

Plus all of the artwork needs to be collated and then, once each set is assembled, someone needs to skillfully tie the ribbon closure on each portfolio. That won't be me because I'm all thumbs.

I still wish we had done magnets or velcrow or something other than the ribbon.... god I hated that with the Billy lettered editions.

Hidden Magnets would have been awesome. I hate ribbons because I dont like retying them.

If that's the case just do the Canadian ones first. lol. We have to wait 2 weeks for shipping so it only seems fit we shouldnt have to wait til you get to them as well

We tried the magnets (i think), we tried velcro, nothing we ended up just falling back to the ribbon as it looked better. I just hate tieing them in the first place.

Velcro is just gross anyway.

It was actually pretty tasteful. The portfolio just didn't look right without the ribbon wrapping the whole way around it.

Dan, Brian, can you please delay the whole portfolio shipping for everyone until the UK custom releses the my IT s/l they keep in hostage since 2011/12/30 ? This way I can send Mindy my copy # and get a matching set... I decided too late to buy the portfolio and it wasn't possible for her to get note of my number

Disclaimer: this was a request made to let everybody know of my bad luck in this matter. No actual delay should be enforced (??? could not think of a better word, sorry) by CD staff because of this

Everything has arrived and orders are being printed/prepared while the signature sheets are numbered. The art prints still need to be collated with the sig sheets, etc, and shipping these will be a slow process, so please be patient:

that's huge ! I wish I could take a week off work and help you with the packing process

Wow, that is a lot! The number on that sig sheet is close to mine too (Mine is 247 though). Cannot wait to get mine, and am glad I don't have to collate all those.

The guys in the warehouse don't get enough credit for this kind of work -- it's time consuming and complicated if you want to get everything just right!

Since a few people asked, I've posted some more photos of the shipping process on my blog:

Love it. Curious how you know what number each of them are once they are tied shut. I know you must have a method, just curious what it is

Great behind-the-scenes shots, Brian. If I'd gotten a s/l 500 or lower, I'd have ordered the portfolio.
