Some of you will know what I'm talking about, and others will not. Those who know what I'm talking about should be silent. Those of you who like to blab, you should suffer a horrible fate!

from Brad's email:

chaos approaching -- august 2nd.

Greetings...

On August 2nd at 10 AM PST the 2008 Pearl Jam posters will be available for purchase.

-Virginia Beach
-Camden 1
-Camden 2
-Hartford

My web guy has been working hard to resolve the issues that happened during the last sale, I am trying to remain positive as I do each sale that it will all run smoothly, but so far the Artillery Sale track record's not so good! One of the things he's put into place is that you have to log in before you can put posters in your cart...so log in first before you do anything else. Let's all keep our fingers crossed...and remember there are a lot of people out there hitting the site at once, it's like Mr. Burns and his Three Stooges Syndrome...

...The Hartford Poster...

At the top of the poster are the 5 platonic solids...they are all supposed to go through and come together to form a metatron's cube at the bottom, it sort of the crux of the concept.... originally this poster was going to be printed on white paper, unfortunately due to some unforseen trapping issues, a last minute audible had to be called and it was switched over to black paper. Because of this, the colors didn't overprint the way they should have on white paper for the metatron's cube. For my copies sold on Artillery, there will be additional color(s) added to the poster to fix that overprinting problem.

If your curious at all, google the platonic solids and metatron's cube...it's all really interesting stuff based on sacred geometry and how everything in the universe is made....it'll cook your noodle.

...Eddie Vedder posters...

Due to the bizarre issues the site experienced on the last Eddie Vedder poster sale, there are still West Coast leg posters available for purchase. There's even a FEW Kenyon Hall prints, not many mind you, but a few left over. Those will also be available for purchase on Aug. 2nd at 10 AM PST.

The East Coast leg posters will be available for sale once the tour is over, on Aug.23rd at 10 AM PST.


...Signed but not Numbered...

There are some pretty big changes happening here at Artillery, and in order to make room for these changes and help fund some of these changes, it's time to move some things out! Going through and taking inventory I started realizing I have handfuls of a lot of posters that are extras from the print run. I usually keep a couple of posters out of the run that i don't number to give away to friends or to send off to design magazines for their annual issues or to send out to possible future clients to try and get more work...that way i don't have to send out my own personal numbered copies.

So as I was going through and seeing what I have in my flat files, it turns out for a lot of sold out Pearl Jam posters I have a few of these not-numbered extras. There aren't a lot of these for each poster, single digits here. So, I decided to sell these on Aug. 2nd at 10 AM PST as well.... the prices of these posters will be set pretty close to market value, so keep that in mind, and also please keep in mind that there are only a few of each.

Here's the poster that are signed but not numbered extras of:

-Honolulu
-Hamilton
-Ottawa
-Purple Vic
-Brown Vic
-New Jersey
-Copenhagen
-Atlantic city
-Gorge 05
-DC
-Easy St
-Dusseldorf
-Philadelphia

That's all for now....but as I said above...there are some big changes brewing round the Artillery Bunker, and there should hopefully be a lot more art on it's way through the end of this year and into the next....as always, stay tuned....

That was my first though.

I was just about to take my Hartford poster to the framer ... now I am wondering what the difference will be between mine and the ones Brad is selling. Think I have to wait to see now...

M,

Brad explains the difference in the email posted, sounds pretty interesting, and makes the one we purchased at the show sound inferior hehe

you shouldn't get any- I was about to post the same thing. I've heard that sometimes people don't get the emails even if they are signed up to receive them. Everyone should have an equal chance of getting a poster

ONCE DEVIDED

Oh great poster sales
All it means to the board is MORE WHINING about what you missed out on

NoelMichael

Can't wait to see the East Coast Leg posters!! And a shot at Honolulu??! Too cool, but will probably be like $400!

i agree, but i seem to recall those who have argued in the past their odds are "decreased" when word spreads about an Artillery sale, which is honestly such BS (in my opinion, anyway) since B-rad himself has stated in some cases he's got less than 10 of a specific poster. i mean, people BITCHED about missing out on the Dusseldorf poster during the Artillery sale but there was literally ONLY 1 poster available!

here's hoping i can score a Kenyon Hall, won't try for anything else, just a Kenyon Hall and i'll be sound as a pound,...would make up for the Kenyon Hall i purchased from the 10C a couple of months ago that was lost and/or stolen en route

Brad did say near market value for posters from the vault, like Easy Street.

I think I am going to take it easy this time. Maybe just Hartford.

you know you want to try for a Honolulu which i will then trade you for

as for the price bK will set the Easy Street at, i guess this is the best indicator:

please dont flame me. but pearl jam is so about the music.... could someone please tell me why the big deal about the posters? i understand collectibles; but there seems to be something sacred about them. and i dont mean to sell for a profit on ebay! thanks in advance for your comments.

I just like paper with cool colors on it. Makes a man feel good about life.

So if I'm in the process of selling a Hartford 08 poster, does this completely destroy the deal?

Or is there some type of PJ poster selling etiquette? lol
