TEN hardest posters to find...

edited August 2008 in The Porch
I recently got into the Poster craze about a year ago and have picked up about 6 or 7 of my favorites; however, some, as I am sure some of you have experienced continue to elude me. This is not a how much do you think my vinyl collection is worth or even which poster is worth the most because it is rare (i.e. Prague), but my question is which are the ten (you don't have to list ten) toughest to find b/c either:

a) print numbers are low (which I know we can all look up) but more importantly,

b) they don't turn up very often for sale or trade (I know the two could go hand in hand but when I look on Ebay, Express, BRY, it seems like there are some that never turn up)...

would love to hear your thoughts...have a good weekend jamily.

    most '98 posters.

    I have the Albuquerque and Kansas City posters. I hardly ever see those. I know KC had a run of 300 ('course you can buy it right now on amesbros.com for a steal at $500!).

    I'm still searching for Dallas '98, run of 350. They pop up every now and again, but not often.

    a zebra ...

    i will never have one, i know - the fact i could have had one for $2 once is more than a little frustrating - but i dont really care about the $ value. its just that it's a great peice of history for me, being pearl jams one and only visit to canberra, australia, and the very first time i saw them live

    i did buy a cute little zebra jamie top earlier this year, cos it reminded me of it :o - i think thats the closest im going to get

    Got a few more hours... No this is not me. I got mine off of eBay about a year ago for a lot more than this and mine wasn't S/N. I was at this show and this is one of my favorite posters.

    those 3 posters from 2000 i think, those cities that got pulled or not sold. i think one was pittsburgh due to spelling error or something. i know its a trilogy? only 125 of each?

    Perth Austalia 1998 is definately a contender here. If anyone here has one for sale, I'll give you top dollars for it!

    Thanks for replying to my post...I knew the 98s were tough. If anyone doesn't have the Ames book, it is an awesome way to see the posters for what they really look like with some interesting quotes, etc. (highly recommended)! I have been looking for a Phoenix '98 (hometown and was there, no idea posters were even sold at the time, think I bought a hat), San Diego 98 and Maui 98 (live at the beach, would look great on my wall :)...PM Please if you can help and I do not need the expressobeans links, thought I would reach out to the pit for some love...off to go scuba diving...saw that lamenated 98 Melbourne...lame

    Peace
