Interesting info regarding poster printing quantities

I found this photo on ebay while searching for posters. It's the color chart for the printer, which I've seen before for other shows, but the interesting thing is it shows how many posters were printed and how they were distributed:

Show - 600
Fan club - 200
Band - 100
Ames - 75

    Cool info. Think those numbers have definitely inflated since 2003; Ames gets 200 now right? I'm sure 10c and show numbers have significantly increased as well.

    I'm sure you're right. Also had no idea the band gets a 100 posters too. Makes sense, just never thought they bothered with the posters.

    Probably for charity, gifts, and their own personal collections I bet.

    This looks like a second printing? Isn't that what "reprint" and the "2nd" indicates? I think I remember there being two different AP runs for the 2003 posters.

    Could be... but what about the 600 for the show? Would they have sold a second printing at a show?

    Yeah, that's the only thing that doesn't make sense for a second printing. *shrugs*

    Found this info on expressobeans:

    "AP1 #/100: Signed and numbered out of 100 by the artists. AP2 #/50: Signed and numbered out of 50 by the artists. AP2 posters are not reprints but instead additional 1st run prints returned to the artist, then signed, numbered and sold."

    So, no second printing.

    I started to notice quanties increased at the 09 Seattle shows. There were gobs of them and they weren't running out. 2013 was even crazier. There was a full on lineup the day before the show... It was seveal blocks long all day. They still have a mega tonne inside the venue the next day.. lol....

    Not like in 98/2000 where most shows had 200 to 300 printed.

    Ya I think even in the mid 2000's a large percentage of the crowd still wasn't aware of the existence of show posters, so the runs were smaller. Things are crazy now.
