I have been to 50 shows. Front row many times. My name speaks for its self.
I have never even seen a poster or touched one. If not for this site I wouldnt even know they sell them. What am I missing? Does it really matter?

P.S. in 8 days I get a ride to camden and Eddie, Mike, Jeff, Stone, Matt and Boom will come out and play. Isnt that 1 show and experience worth more than anything you can accumilate 100's of?

    I do think Posters should have own section, like porch.

    Call it Silkscreen or something like that.


    Does your thread make 11 or is that the tenth?

    YOU are not missing anything. Those of us who collect might feel differently but you obviously don't care. It doesn't matter if you have a personal preference to collect or not, each of us is different. Some care, some don't.

    And for your last ? I would guess it depends on what you are accumulating. If It is 100's of wives and you live in Utah then Perhaps that is worth more than 1 show, if it is 100's of tadpoles probably not. (Although I'm sure there are some people who would prefer the tadpoles.)

    For me I want the experience and the poster. That's just how I roll. Pun intended. (Not the drug roll at the show, but the poster rolled in a tube.... ah forget it...)

    I can understand it, but I've never gotten wrapped up in it. I only buy posters of the shows I go to. I have three and I'm still on the lookout for getting an Alpine '98 poster.

    "hey i can order my own food.. i can speak for myself"

    "sorry name... go ahead "

    "nah, i'm a fucking name... i cant eat food "
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I own 1 poster. It was bought for me as a gift as I went to the show.
    I CAN understand the 'hype' surrouding them and should I fall on a large sum of money, I will be purchasing more. Some of them are absolutely stunning and I have to say, i'm really looking forward to moving and hanging my single poster and my boyfriend's collection (posters of shows he's been to) proudly on our walls.
    I do however, believe poster's should have their own section.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
