Default Anyone pick up the Grateful Dead "Dancing with the Dead" Poster?

In early December McIntosh announced "Something Very Special is Coming" & is Limited to just 250 pieces.

Available:
December 3, 2023
2PM EST
shop.mcintoshlabs.com

I'm not a dead head, but my McIntosh roots are deep and at 2PM on 12/03/23 I was at the ready.

I'm not sure how they handled the incoming orders & copies -- I was on the site at 2PM exactly and completed the purchase in 1 1/2 minutes and received #210.

Maybe - and only speculating -- I asked Rachel at HQ to delay shipment for 1 week because I was in Germany. So, anyways it is what it is. I didn't buy it to flip it. I'll let my executor do that.
