    I still don't understand how some posters are worth a lot and others are not. An artist signed Salt Lake City 2009 poster (on white paper) sold for $45 on Ebay recently. This poster is a top 10 poster post 2003 and it goes for $45. People want to debate whether the New Orleans 2016 (or insert any number of recent posters) poster is good or not, and we got one of the all-time greats selling for less than cost. Crazy.

    Supply and demand.

    The red mosquito poster you speak of is one of the best ever. The 10C released a bunch more of the prints which flooded the market making it relatively easy to purchase. I actually don't like the fact that poster was devalued.

    Salt Lake City might also be a population not so poster savvy. There are places that aren't as eager to purchase PJ items (Vancouver is one as well... at least I think... I've never had a problem getting a poster there... wolf boy... skull truck... eesh).

    Yeah, the poster was red hot initially but then people learned that it was printed on black paper and the design was tough to see. But the ones released on white paper are under 200 printed so if you can get your hands on than do it.

    If it said NYC or Boston on it and it was printed on white paper from the start than it would be a $600 poster no question.

    $210 for the Pittsburgh '13 AP, within an hour of the sale. Was a risk but it seemed to have worked out.


    Non-monitarily... I traded a PJ20 Billboard for the Sperry Poster Convention 2012. Probably an overpayment, but I had 2 of them... and I really like the print that I received in return... in which there is only 20.

    Does the Klausen TOTD double count, because if so then $160 with shipping to Canada. Everything else has been at cost, I have redonkulous luck sometimes.

    The most I spent was $250.00 for the 1998 St. Louis poster quite a few years back now. So, how much you want for it? Just kidding. Or I'll trade ya for your 2000 Chicago Blackie.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.
