Bumping this REALLY old thread - but wanted to know everyone's opinion - do you think that the Missoula poster has taken the top spot for the rarest, most controversial poster from PJ?
Most controversial maybe. DC Reaper by Klausen was pretty controversial too.
Not the rarest, or even close to being rare though.

Whatever the very first Pearl Jam concert poster was is probably the rarest I would think.

what about Merriweather Post Pavillion 1996 with mermaid. The poster were pulled as apparently they were not endorsed by the band. Wish I had that one.

Wouldn't the PJ20 Movie posters that were "found" during the soundtrack promotional scavenger hunt (not the big sized ones that were given out to PJ20 Alpine Package buyers) be the rarest since there's only 29 (one for each track on the soundtrack) and they are technically each one of a kind since they were marked for each track?
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
In 1997 PJ opened up for the Rolling Stones for four nights (November 14-15-18-19). As you can imagine, most of the crowd was there to see the Stones...I was there to see Pearl Jam (don't get me wrong--the Stones were a pretty good closing act). Ames made a poster for the four night stand and printed up 300 of them. I know that the night I attended it was pissing down rain and I suspect that many posters were lost that evening...(sorry can't remember which night I attended off the top of my head--note to amatuer meteorologists: please figure out the mystery of the rainy show date). I don't know when they sold out or why I ended up bringing a poster tube, but mine survived.....

I don't think that story is entirely true.
The band did not sanction the poster to have nipples showing I thought, so they screen printed them on?

Thanks. The handwritten number on my poster doesn’t coincide with this, maybe mine is a a fake. Who knows.

400 or so out there? Still not the rarest.
I think you're right about the Ames Merriweather.
My recollection from that time is a rumor that Kim of the Fastbacks (the opening act that night) saw the poster that night and thought it was offensive. She told PJ how she felt and they stopped sales. I was there that night and have the poster. It was definitely on sale at the show with other official merchandise. I have seen the estimates of 400 but also seem to remember estimates of about twice as many. I also think the remaining stock was ultimately available from 10 Club after the tour.
Are we looking for rarest or most desired/expensive?
I wouldnt want that Zaius on my wall for instance, I dont care if there are 1 of them.
Rarest may also be the 1/1 Atlantic City NJ 05 Klausen variant, now on ebay for $2k.
BRAD actually did two different 1/1 of the 05 Atlantic City prints, this one on eBay and the other is on my wall. The two have slightly different colors. He sold these on eBay with the proceeds going to help out his printing company he was using at the time

Anyone have a pic of the poster? I'd love to see what Kim from the Fastbacks found so offensive. Surely it wasn't just because of nipples?

Huh. Who would have thought that a member of the Fastbacks would be a huge prude?
In the Ames book there's a bit more background I seem to recall. Something about Eddie being really unhappy with it and that the image came from a porno mag. I d have to get the book out to be sure.

If they stole the image of the woman from a porno mag, then I understand why there would be a problem....
