I'm not much of a poster guy (I got 1 for each of the 3 Wrigley shows I was at, but none other). I like a lot of the shirts I have seen, like the Ape/man from Binaural (thought that would be a great tattoo) and the hoodie LB113337 got are pretty bad ass.
Please forgive my ignorance, but what makes some of these so sought after? Like the Kong, Cracker Jack and the Pittsburgh posters? I get with vinyl it's the stuff that has a severe limited number of pressings that's super collectible.
Also, with mystery boxes, do they ever slip in uber rare or fancy items? For example, an autographed poster? An actual setlist? Things like that.
Good design seems to be the key for highly sought after posters. Ones that have appeal beyond people who went to the show and love the art. Broader appeal means harder to come by. Or link to a historic show like first Wrigley performance for Cracker Jack doesn't hurt. But I think it's mostly universally admired artwork.

Thanks for the insight. I suppose it makes more sense for those more into art (unlike myself). Like when it comes to the Pittsburgh poster, I look at it and like it like most of us. Then when I think back to Wrigley 2013, I feel like the monster poster was much better than the Cracker Jack poster...though I do really like that one.

I've got a feeling this isn't going to end well.......
Anyone else in Canada actually receive a confirmation on shipping for their mystery box? I ordered one of the XLs and was hoping I was in the 1st batch that was sent out. But mine still says warehouse

Also, if the stickers, wristbands and ticket stubs (the "junk") aren't wanted, instead of being thrown away, putting them up to be given away in the "RAK" thread in Lost Dogs might be a better option. I'm sure there are people who would be interested in that stuff that didn't buy a mystery box.
Some of these shirts that are popping up are awesome. Love that button down one from Riot Act.
I agree. I also like to wonder about the strategy behind the people packing everything. Are they thinking "I'm going to give this person a thrill, and give them all 3 of these cool shirts" while in other boxes thinking "Well, this guy will be disappointed, oh well." Even if the posters are pre-rolled and pulled at random, they are seeing the shirts and hats. I also get curious about how many orders have been taken, and if they just pull shirts from top of pile, or they are walking all over the warehouse. I love behind the scenes videos, and would love to see a short clip of this process on youtube.
Last night I saw this, scrolled up to see what banana themed thing you meant, and then laughed WAY too hard when I saw actual bananas. I guess it was your deadpan delivery.. anyways, boyfriend asked if I was having a stroke sooo thanks for the laughs:-D

I was thinking about this too. How many people are packing boxes? They shipped out 500 XLs like a day or two after the on sale. That's some serious packing!

If anybody wants to trade their XL hoodies away, let me know. I'll probably post up some trades in Lost Dogs. I might even be willing to part with the Prague posters. Ha.

Probably wouldnt' hurt to email 10C and beg for mercy. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but I doubt their intent would be to send a person the same two posters. Maybe you can ship those back and get two fresh ones.

Very happy with the shirts. Posters are Fenway green lady, and Slater Stockholm '14
That is a sweet shirt! Has a collar, so I could even wear it to work if I got one! I bought that hoodie like 10 years ago or whenever it was for sale. Was dissappointed only because it ran way small. I got an XL and was more like a medium, or very tight L at best. Hope that isnt the case with yours.

ISO 2016 Greenville shirt. Size medium. PM me if you have one for sale/trade.
I do feel for the guy who rolled the dice with two boxes and got the same bad posters. Thats unfortunate If the Benaroya repress girl got a Benny i would hope u get 5lbs of socks
