Azoulay (his signature) Plate Cancelled by Artist All Rites Reserved".  I have no idea what the letter says so if anyone can translate, please let me know.  I would be so grateful.  The frame size is approximately 42-1/2" wide by 51-3/4" tall and the the plate is approximately 15" wide by 1-3/4" tall.  The plexi does have 2 scratches on the right side near the edge of the frame.  I've included a picture of them.  I welcome all questions!  THIS ITEM WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY PACKED.  IF YOU LIVE CLOSE BY, I WILL HAND DELIVER.  Any glare or white spots are due to the angle of the camera. SORRY BUT NO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ON THIS AUCTION!  THIS ITEM IS TOO LARGE TO SHIP OVERSEAS AND I DEFINITELY CAN'T INSURE IT! PAYMENT:  PAYPAL AND BANK TRANSFERS ONLY!   NO OTHER PAYMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED!  I do not accept personal checks!  If one is sent, it will be returned!  Payment must be made within 7 days or the bid will be cancelled and nonpayer feedback will be given unless you have made prior arrangements.  Item sold AS IS.  See below for return policy.  Item will be professionally packed and shipped.  I will hand deliver if you live close enought.  Texas residents pay 8.25% sales tax. RETURNS:  If I have made a genuine mistake in the listing and the item is totally NOT as I have described it, then notify me within 3 days of reciept.  Delivery Confirmation is included at no cost so receipt is considered when USPS declares your item delivered.  I will refund the total invoice price.  If insurance was offered and purchased, then the USPS claim process must be followed.  If USPS denies your claims, then I can not offer a refund.  Since I double box everything, it won't be denied due to packing.  If a claim needs to be filed, I'll be more than happy to file it if you want.  If insurance was offered but not purchased, then a lost or damaged item is your responsibility.  If a claim can not be filed, a refund can not be offered!  For ALL returns, item must be returned at buyer's expense and the item must be received by the seller in the same condition as it was sent (this includes double boxing).  If a COA was included with the item, this must be returned with the item.  Refunds occur after I have received the returned item.  I want everyone to be happy with their purchase but I don't offer refunds for buyer's remorse or if you didn't purchase insurance. SHIPPING:  This item is too large to be shipped via USPS.  I will be using either UPS, DHL or FedEx.  This is a hobby for me and I do have a regular job, so shipping will occur on Saturday only.  I will let you know who the shipping agent is and the tracking number. Please wait to receive the invoice before making payment.  Please ask any questions before the auction ends. Thanks for taking the time to look at my auction!
