Hi All... first time poster, so please don't flame if this is a daft question...
I have an unsigned print of Hewlett's Big Spongefinger, bought from POW - err, sometime ago, when they were still in stock! When I bought it, it was totally destroyed during delivery by our lovely hard working guys at the Royal Mail... literally "snapped" in two (quite clearly across someone's knee!). Their excuse was laughingly: "It was done in transit, mate, nothing to do with us...", Oh, the blind irony, surely thats what they do, "transit" stuff... but anyway that's my nark with them and beside the point!
POW dealt with the issue magnificently, but the replacement I received did not have the "usual" POW stamp, but a "very hewlett-esque" skull and crossbones stamp. I am not 100% sure this was the same stamp that was on the original one I received, dunno either way, I didnt spend long looking at the destroyed one, it upset me quite a bit!
So basically, I'm curious if this is the standard stamp on the Big Spongefinger and also if not: does it effect the value, either way - not that I would consider selling it at all anyway.
It is currently away being framed, so if you need me to post a picture of the "very hewlett-esque" skull and crossbones stamp I should be able to in a few days.
Thanks for your thoughts.
