    You have to really want something to pay the Ames prices. Too bad there wasn't an option for cards only.

    I like the variants a lot... $150 is way too high. If they were the $70 I would have gotten one.

    I liked the green monster variant a lot. Hated the original. No dice for me though.

    I literally never get lucky. Literally got the email signed online and all I saw was the variant. Checked out before realizing the price.

    Seriously whether people want to realize it or not, They both were limited to 60 and for me I love the old baseball card look with the variants. I blow 150.00 on much much worse.

    I'm probably in the minority on this, but I like the original green monster more. My wallet is very happy.

    If anyone here wants to trade for the "Bucky" variant let me know. I take a size XXL and am open to trade for Pearl Jam Philies hat or Hawaii merch. If I don't find a trade. Ill more then likely keep it. If not, Ill let it go for cost.

    So everyone was OK with $40 less for a higher print run on the Thomas variant, but $150 for a print run of 60 is too high?

    Seemed fair to me for such a small print run.

    Man, the damn flippers sure are out in force on the Thomas AP's. Hoping some got in early when you could order multiples and get their orders cancelled.

    for me, I like the image much better than the Ames' images. The baseball card border made it a lot better, but not worth $250 for me. For the most part, rarity/print run is not a factor as 99% of the time I intend on keeping prints I buy.

    I'd paid $150 for either Thomas AP over either of those hideous Ames posters, IMO!!! You'll see the Ames selling for less then cost on the bay eventually, as well as the Thomas most likely.

    Fair enough, I buy based on whether I like the print or not, not touching "Bucky" for instance, but I don't mind spending more for smaller print runs.

    I guess for the collectability.

    That Ames super pack REALLY needs to come with a couple sticks of hard-as-a-board pink bubble gum. I can practically smell it looking at them, especially the Bucky poster.

    Mark5 most likely won't have a variant, just the regular AP. He usually doesn't do variants, but who knows.

    It's a built-in variant... Turn it upside down.
