    Unfortunately, I think you are correct.

    It's only money!

    My advice is just wait most of the people buying will be flippers and generally prices come down after a while. Also its not a great poster so even better chance. IMO their last good poster was the MIA variant which was going for mad cash at the outset before people calmed down

    Not the Harry Caray Variant...only one available is on eBay!

    You might be looking in the "wanted" section.

    Dude, this is NOT the MIA variant!

    This is Wrigley, man! 8-) And this poster is friggin' awesome, not some stupid eagle dollar bill.

    Did the billboard print come down? There are only 45 in existence since Ames archived 10! I don't see any "calming" down!

    lol...to each his own I suppose. But, I obviously agree with you that this is a great poster. The show was an epic experience for me personally. Lifetime Cubs fan and Season Ticket Holder, PJ fan from the start, pulled GA from the lottery and got rail stone side (and again after the storm), a high five from eddie and a pick from Mike.
    I would love this poster to frame and hang...not to sell. :)

    Meh ... the PJ20 was a stand alone poster not a variant ... and while less the weather interruption Wrigley was incredible it was this years thing just like PJ20 was 2011's thing, and hopefully in the next year or 2 there'll be an as amazing if not more event because if Wrigley is the best its ever gonna get it doent leave much more to look forward to :?

    And there were 4 posters for the one night ... sure PJ 20 had a Saturday, Sunday and Weekend poster 3 posters across 2 days

    In a way it was disappointing Ames chose to release this variant more or less during the show so the many there had less chance at grabbing it. But either way IMO I personally cant see it going nuclear in value

    Just like the posters for sale here in the shop, it doesn't matter when a poster goes on sale. There are only so many for sale...period. Noon, 9:00 at night, 7:00 in the morning.....

    The Ames Variant only sold 45, not 100, not 200, not 1000's like PJ20. And I would say the third to sell in two weeks at well over $500 IS nuclear!

    I don't think its done climbing yet......all cub fans dream of this poster on their wall, if u want one u better get one quick!!!
    Cant buy what i want cause its free....
  • I say get it while u can. There were only 45 released to the public. They're being gobbled up by collectors at those prices. I say if u can score one under $800 you're getting a good deal.

    You're the one that grabbed the one listed with "best offer" for $610, eh?

    I was surprised to see that.....one went for $800 "buy it now" after that, and another is bidding at $600 with like 6 days left!

    Nope...the one that was up for $800 today that is now gone. He 'let it go' for a bit under that.
