The original yawner would have have to go up in value just from the other day. Any regrets about selling it. What would you say that you replaced it with, from the money that you got.

I actually bought several of the A-Z originals at the same time:

D-Devil
V-Venus
Y-Yawner

Some of the other originals I bought afterwards were:
-Waking Jose
-One Enchanted Evening
-The Hitcher

There were one or two more but I can't remeber at this point as it has been several years. The market for Shag originals peaked about 2 years ago so an original bought today from Shag would have a hard time getting the same price in the aftermarket (ebay). Oversaturation dropped the prices people were willing to pay. I still dig his style though, but they were investments at the time. I still have a few serigraphs that I like.
