  • The double variant...
    Who in their right mind would buy this? Let alone for $1,250! It's hideous, I don't care if there's only 1!
  • So looked all over and I couldn't find the 2nd variant. Where does one see this??

    No. I'm not selling it. Its not the most awesome poster ever but its not the worst not even from just shows I've been to. Its just... plain. I like the double a lot though.

  • I see. So there were the only two? Thought there may have been a third.. I love the poster. I dressed it up a lil with the stickers from my four shows. Now I love it more than ever.. If I knew how to put I pic on here id do it. But I don't so I won't.

    Apparently people were told by staff at the show that were only 6 made

    There were a few randoms at the show and then at the pop up shop the next day they raffled 2 copies off. Tim said he thought there was only 5-6 made, not exactly official…but does seem pretty rare. I got the Riot Act variant randomly at the show…seems to be at least a few more of those floating around.

    Two designs, but three posters: Pearl Jam by itself, Riot Act by itself (variant), and both on one uncut sheet (double variant).

    if i had it of course i'd have to frame it, but man, $1259? currently has a higher resale than the wrigley variant, a far superior and beautiful print. oh well, to each their own!

    If you could sell a poster you paid $35 for $1,259 a month later why wouldn't you? I mean c'mon - you could trade the thing for a Benaroya Hall vinyl at that price (or sell, then buy - same thing). That's insane. Who wouldn't do that (I wouldn't do the last part as I can't see spending $1,000 on a record that doesn't perform acts on me as well, but I'd have a hard time not selling it).

    Especially when the regular is going to be so easily available cheaply if you want a momento from the show you went to. Heck, you could buy the 2 other versions and frame them together and still have $1,000 left over. Is the uncut really that big a deal in this poster's case?

    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    As a collecter yes, it is a poster I would love to have in my collection just because of its rarity. But I dont think I could drop a G on this one. I would pay 500 tops. And that's still a lot. I don't mind paying for something I like. Just as long as I pay my bills at the end of the month.

    at this point it'd be tough not to sell at that price, and you're right, the regular poster i have is enough of a memento. just wondering who'd pay THAT much, insane! i bid on the other one and was out at $300. crazy effers

    And the shocking thing is that it's not even signed or numbered by the artist. I believe there are 12 of these that were randomly sold @ the show. Nothing on the back. Nothing different on the front. Just that it's uncut. And going for that much, on eBay? DAMN!!! @-) THIS blow's your mind!

    I wonder if DFace will sell any S/N prints on his website. Print some AP's with an edition of 30. How much do you think he will sell them for?
