Man, I wonder if they have any more. For you fellow U.S. PJ fans, why is there such a strong European/Australian fanbase for these posters? Is PJ THAT big worldwide? Or are they just into this art for some reason?
The link is still there, so it looks like they have a few more to sell.
As for the interest in these posters, to me, its all about the art. Im a huge pj fan and i wanna decorate my walls with pj related art. Some of these Klausen prints just happens to be the best looking alternatives out there.
I finally got a Klausen Gorge this afternoon. Been trying to score one for a while now, and I was outside having a smoke when the mail lady drove up. I saw her try to hand the tube to my neighbor, and I told the wife "there's my gorge!" When she drove up to our house and handed me the tube, it looked a little rough, but I had hope that the poster was OK. 3 minutes later, I discovered that the poster was indeed crushed. Fuckin' USPS. At least it was insured. Maybe if 10C ever sells these I can get a new one...

Bummer that really sucks.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
The photo of the back is out of focus, but you can see the crush pattern right through the middle of the print.
Master Framer, if you read this, do you think this is something that can be fixed, or mostly fixed, with a heat press?
Also, does anyone know if I file the insurance claim with USPS, do they take the damaged merch?
Anyway, I'm gonna go drown my sorrows with some ice cold Miller Lite...
Have a good weekend everyone!
Hey man, bummer deal, that sucks.
Unfortunately there isnt a way to fix this. You can dry mount the poster to get it flat but there is no way to eliminate the creases in the paper if there are any.
I know every time I have filed insurance claims with shipping companies they take the item. Hopefully you can get a replacement for the amount you claim. Good Luck man.

I work as an electronics technician for the postal service in Philly and about two years ago they put in a machine called the APPS ( another peice of postal shit ) Is what we call it. This machine is highly automated it took 4 or 5 jobs away. The main problem is that there is what they call level changes and turns and no way to capture the mail peice so the poster tubes roll around. This has been a problem ever since this machine was put in. Some other types of mail also has problems on this machine. I'd file a claim if I was you. Also file a formal complaint with the postmaster of your post office. Say that it is an unacceptable service. Stir the pot and don't give up in a week that's what they want. This machine cost alot of poeple ther jobs and ruins alot of mail. I would suggest anybody that gets a smashed tube do this and then the postal service might get the idea.

Yeah that's true, but also I used to work at the Postal Hub in our area.
Let me tell you...those guys unloading the trucks don't give a shit about the mail in them. Especially when your truck is running 2-3 hours late and you are FORCED to stay over in an unairconditioned warehouse with 110 degrees temps and you seriously doubt that you'll get OT but that doesn't matter how much you are getting paid you just want to go home because you've been on the clock for 12 hours so just get the fucker unloaded fast.
yeah and the green party newsletter...dude told me it was a communist rag to my face one day.
fuckin postmen are so nosey.
told him I was gonna put a rat trap in my mail box.
it sucks in chicago too, i just got a poster in the mail on 10/4 that was sent priority on 8/28. We thought it was lost I had even received a refund.....
Sorry to hear about that bashed poster.....absolute disgrace :(
I have got to stop going onto ebay, was interested to see how much a couple of posters went for and ended up buying a s/n Klausen Hawaii :eek: I love this poster so much and have wanted it for ages but DO NOT have the funds to be buying this at the mo......a well at least I'm not addicted

I just bought the Katowice (2007) poster... I put a bid just "to see" and I won the auction.
I'm glad because this poster is my favorite of 2007, but I had promised to myself to only buy the posters of the shows I was at...
2006: Antwerp, Paris
2007: Copenhagen, Werchter
2009: Rotterdam, London
2010: MSG, Arras, Werchter
2012: Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin
2014: Amsterdam, Stockholm

I know its a long shot, but try contacting BK. He seems like a good guy and maybe he has an extra he could send you. Again, sorry about your poster!
