Lincoln merchandise line

myoung321

We drove 400 miles, which really isn't a lot compared to other Ten Club members I know...anyways... kinda sucked getting there and not a single sticker left at Merch truck or inside.( by the time we got though the security cluster.f...) We normally buy 5 - two for us and 3 for trade buddies in the Netherlands. These douches are really starting to piss me off..if they want to buy 50 then fine.. make it like 5 or 10 outside and 5 inside per purchase. That way if they don't have a ticket they can only buy a small limit like 5 or 10 period......if you want 50 you're going to have to work at it... and have a ticket to the show

Im more concerned about what Rick from Pawn Stars is doing in Nebraska buying massive amounts of Pearl Jam merch. The merch craze may be bigger than we think!

Will guys down $2000 in Vegas be hitting pawnshops going "what can i get for my Ames glow in the dark variant?"

its great for them!

50 x $35 is a $1,750 "investment"

Keep 1 themself

Sell them for $85 a pop on ebay and that's $4,165 or an easy $2,415 profit! That is a lot of memberships, chances for GA tickets, travel expenses, and such.

Do this for 5 shows and they are making bank going to and enjoying Pearl Jam shows.



I actually got out of the merch game. It has become way too competitive, expensive, and limited edition. I will get what falls in my lap, but Im not interested in these lines or stressing out, or paying some asshole ebay prices. Then you have variant this and variant that (which only seem to find there way into the hands of flippers)...

Its out of control.

Except you won't find 50 people who will pay $85 for that Popeye poster ) )

I'm attempting to get out of the merch game. I will not stand in line for more than 30 minutes. If the line wraps around the block, forget it. It's hard sometimes because we live in a world with stuff everywhere, but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm there for the music and for the band. Not for the stuff.

That being said, I'll buy anyone's pins and stickers if you have extras ) )

I had an moment of realization as I stood by the merch line in Cinci and saw people robotically buying a bland poster- I just can't buy a poster because I attended the show. If it sucks, it sucks man. don't feed the beast.

For the record, not everyone hated the Cincinnati poster. I loved it. I admit that I'm an artist and work at an art gallery as display staff. My degree was in printmaking, so maybe I look at it a little differently. It hangs on my hallway wall. I can see that it definitely isn't something that would appeal to everyone, but I can tell you that Popeye and ACL week 1 wouldn't have been my thing. Different strokes for different folks. Just glad that the poster for the show that we went to was something that appealed to me. To quote my husband, "They couldn't have printed a poster that was more you." And yes, he likes it, too.

Don't get me wrong- I mean it's not little dinasours and Pig-man Werewolves and I haven't really been impressed with any posters on this leg so far.

It's all good. I am glad that it wasn't the man-pig-sheep thing, either. :-&

and I will probably buy it when it goes on sale at the shop.... I am a completist and a child of the 80s. All of our cartoons were commercials for toys. I am hardwired to BUY BUY BUY. I am not proud of it.

:-h Child of the 80's right here! How I love my original Atari with the wood grain finish. My husband found it for me about 11 years ago. My brother gave me all of our original games.

Atari!!!
Pitfall was my favorite followed closely by Defender
enjoy that bad boy. and don't wear out the rubber on the controllers... )

The blocky guy jumping over the blocky ponds using the blocky vine to jump over things. The buzz saw sound when you ran through the wood logs? Jumping on the alligator eyes? Getting the prizes? The really funky music? I LOVE ATARI PITFALL! :x Don't even get me started about my love for original Pac Man.

Jungle hunt 4 life!!!! Mutha flucka!!! :-D

One word. Q*bert.
