Well, the final round of CIV Artists has been released.
Sooooo, what is everbody's Top 5 favorite prints? Which ones are on your "must-have" list to purchase?
This is going to be one heck of a tough task to narrow them down.
I haven't narrowed them down yet. These are the prints that my husband and I have on our list:
*Killian Plunkett - Jawa Sandcrawler
*Matt Busch - Stormtrooper/Imperial Officers
*Scott Erwert - Luke & Leia Death Star Chasm
*Dave Seeley - Luke Rogue Leader
*Dave Dorman - Persuasion
*Mark Raats - Luke Calligraphy
*Amy Pronovost - Uttini!30!
*Allsohn Sohn - The Princess
*Cat Staggs - Luke Spirit of '77
*Terese Nielsen - Padme Print
*Brian Denham - Star Destroyer Flyover
We're going to have a tough time choosing.
I am honored to be included in this formidable list of art maestro's.
Many thanks

OK, I've nailed down my price 
13x19 litho for $25 and I might throw in a little something something like a random ewok sketch for you fanforce folks.
Just say who you are and some yub yub will be coming your way! 
I went over all the art pieces again tonight and I must say I like your offering more every time I look at it. It's fun.
Thank you
I wanted to do something different!
And I'm honoured to be on the short list that was mentioned here too

I *think* (don't quote me if I'm wrong  ) they were selling containers and tubes and such at the register at C3's art show...

I am looking into getting some tubes, but I can't guarantee anything. It can add a huge cost to almost each artist's $$ outgoings which in turn, can make it very hard to break even on an event of this kind.
Something to consider is that a supplied tube can end up being a bit of a problem for the collector. Typically the tube will be small enough for only the artist's single print. A collector can then end up with a lot of small tubes, which can be a bit of a mess to carry and keep safe.
If you go to your local hardware store, you can purchase a length of PVC piping (used for plumbing). The pipes come in various diameters and if you choose a fairly large diameter, then you can place a number of prints inside - with the larger size of the pipe allowing for a looser roll-up of the poster, thereby limiting the possibility of crumples and folds. The added benefit is that you can purchase screw-on end caps for the pipe which means you can seal the contents closed, keeping them both water-tight and safe from other damage.
For those like me who are travelling thousands of miles by plane to get to the convention, the PVC is also extremely strong and this means you can store your treasures in the baggage hold, without the fear that it will get squashed.!

PVC is a great idea! You could transfer all of your posters into and pack it into the suitcase easily.
I have an achitect's plan tube that has a strap on it but it is still prone to getting crushed if it goes in the suitcase. At CIII, I carried it on the plane as one of my carry-ons.
I may check out taking a piece of PVC instead!

I have a problem with the fact that hardly any of the prices are listed for the prints. I want to try an reserve some of them but I'm not going to do so, unless I know I can afford them.

I'm looking into poly tube bagging, but not rigid tubes for transport. It'd add FAR too much to the prices of each piece. Not only would we have to buy the tubes, we'd have to get them to the show, for each of our 250 prints....

Are you buying multiple posters? If so, you might as well buy your own tube before you head out to CIV. Make sure that it has a decent diameter size so you can fit several pieces in it & have it only count as 1 carry-on, see Mark Raats' explanation above.
A few members over here and on the Rebelscum board stated that at C3, the poster tubes sold out. You also do not know what type they are going to sell & I am sure it's going to be overpriced. Don't get stuck in a position where you are forced to ship your prints home, because I already looked up how much UPS will charge to ship them - $40. Better be prepared than sorry.
JediJustin's strategy at C3 was to unroll the prints from the original tube that they came from, and placed it in the tube that he brought with him. So if you are going to buy more than 1 print, definitely bring your own & don't rely on having the Artists provide them for you because I'm sure if they provided tubes, it won't be durable enough for travel.
I just bought a 4" diameter telescopic-type poster tube with lock at the Blick Art Store. It has a shoulder strap and is made of a tough plastic type material. It only cost me $20!
The brand name is RAPIDESIGN by Chartpak.

Great advice on the poster tubes. I also just tracked down a telescoping, locking tube. Got the Safco 3.5 inch diameter, 40" long, locking tube.
Also... as far as pricing... I don't mean to promote here... but please check this site out. I'm the staff editor. If posting a link is not okay.. mods please delete with my apologies. Just thought it might be helpful for everyone. Many of the artists (about 30 I believe now) are posting there daily:
