A poster is art in its own right - but both posters and serigraphs are copies of an original.

Both the price of Shag's posters as well as pro-athletes are outrageous.

Not to mention Nike paying LeBron James $50 Million before he played 1 minute of NBA time, while, at the same tim, Nike pays its employees in China approximatley $10 per day.
