An eBay seller is offering two sample sheets of Rex Ray holiday wrapping paper that were commissioned by Apple in 2002 for purchase at their retail stores. The designs are called “Pods” and “Fields,” and are abstract in style. The wrapping paper sold for $5 a roll, or was free with a purchase over $50. But the ungeni reports that the paper didn’t fly off the shelves, even when offered free. Both eBay items are 33″x50″ and mounted on plastic as if they’ve been displayed. Coincidentally, the items have been posted for nearly four days without any bids ($800 minimum bid). It’s not clear how the pieces were acquired by the seller. Update: The wrapping paper auction ended with no one bidding on the wrapping paper.

Those were marketing materials posted in the stores. They hung on the back wall, one by the Genius Bar and the other by the Etc section. You can probably see it if you have any Christmas 2002 photos of the stores.
We have rolls of that shit floating around the back room of our store…
I have the promotional magnet from that series by the same artist. They were given away at the Tampa store during the holidays in 2002. I tried to sell mine on ebay last year but got not bids. The artist is a well known graphic designer from the San Francisco Bay area and his art is sold in Jonathan Alder stores across the country.
