Cali Commentary


1.  Original ad selling:
... 'Limited Edition' MJ Opus for $249.00 OR
...'Artist Edition' MJ Opus for $499.00 with
      "individually number and limited to 500" AND
      a 'hand signed' and 'limited edition' Nate Giorgio print.


2.  Per customer, and based on photos provided, what arrived:
     'Artist Edition' MJ Opus, not individually numbered, but limited to 950.
     An individually numbered Nate Giorgio print, xx/500.

Questions:
1.  Was there 2 offers- 1 with print  (1-500) and one without (501-950)?
2.  Were there 2 sets of prints,, maybe 1-500 in each set-- with 50 of those from 1 set perhaps going with maybe Opi to family members or perhaps retained by the artist?
3.  Was the Opus itself supposed to be numbered, according to the original advertisement (pic 1), thus limited to 500?


*Pictures 1-3 are taken from the email advertisement sent to a Sony Cierge customer who did purchase this AE Opus and forwarded the email to me for posting here.  The remaining pictures were taken by the customer upon receipt and opening their AE Opus.  I have notated where the original picture has been altered by me, however I still retain the originals as they were sent me.
