Here is my problem i usually get all the posters from the shows i attend..... I dont have a complete set of boots from any tour and i would really like to have them all... so my question is should i go after the posters for the shows i'm attending to complete my collection(the poster i cant fit on my walls will just sit in a flat file) or buy the complete set of bootlegs(I want the cd's) ????????.... I cant do both because i just dont have the money.... any thoughts or suggestions would be great! Thanks!

    don't spend money you don't have- no sense in buying either if money is tight

    You can always trade for the boots, but if $$ is an issue....Yea, dont do either...

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    I would say try and trade for the shows, but I would rather have the CDs to listen to whenever I want than a poster that is not hanging up.
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    I dunno - "its all about the music" BUT in this day and age, the music will eventually be freely tradeable. The posters won't be as easy to obtain. If you are thinking about the boots for collectability, etc. (the printed discs) they may eventually be much rarer then the posters. IMHO, you can end up getting the music free down the road so go posters now.

    from experience, get the boots. you can pick up the posters pretty handily though the pit or EB. the boots wont be here long.

    I could care less about the posters personally, but with you already having a collection going I think you have to tend to that first of all. Then, as someone else suggested, you can download/order the shows as money allows. I, for one, am sure to spend way more than I should on the boots....kinda makes me glad its a short tour...so far
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
