Zeke Vegas 98 and Koziks Unicorn 92 are sweet in my eyes.

That's by far my most desirable, and not because it's valuable. At least, it's been my most desirable since I bought the Cincy '03 one. My old holy grail, until I found it:


I will finally be taking it to be framed in the next couple weeks!
(and now that I see that SG/PJ one next to the Cincy '03, I'm thinking they would look SO GOOD on the walls in the same room. I guess I like those colours, lol .... Sigh. Never going to happen. I would never spend that much on a poster)

Always wanted this. It would look great beside my turntable

One on eBay right now

Thanks for the heads up.
Haven't checked out eBay in a while.

Just picked this Sperry up today. Was given out at Midnight the day Yield went on sale at virgin megastore:

I have always wanted that print... I think it is time to budget to grab it for my birthday this year... if you don't mind me asking, for my future reference, what did you pay?

Posters from the 1990's and 2000 will always be at the top of my list. Give me a St. Louis '98, Chicago/East Troy '98, Chicago '00, etc. every day. The posters from this era remind me of the flyers that bands trying to make it in the industry would slap on the windows of local bars, electrical poles, etc....draw some buzz for their local shows..... Simple artwork done with old-school screen printing. To me the posters post-2003 seem to be more "flashy" or "artsy" for lack of a better term. I prefer the simplicity of the older posters over the flash of the more recent posters. But that's just me. The more recent posters definitely have their place and there are quite a few I do enjoy.

Agreed. When I look back at the earlier posters, there are so very many that, had I gone to the shows, I would have no problem framing and displaying in my house. Nowadays, there is about one poster per tour that I even find remotely attractive, if that. There are definitely some that I view as great art, but just don't translate well as a gig poster to me.

I just wish more had to do with the specific city AND were beautiful pieces of art work all at once. Like Pitt '13, its on my wall and its still my grail. Love that thing.

That's EXACTLY why this is still one of my favorite posters:

Totally agree with this. But after all these tours I'm guessing it's tough to come up with something original.

Seattle has gas works, needle, locks and dams, a troll, fishing, sports teams, a few mountains, a market, an underground and a pretty nice skyline. Lots of neat things there. Or you could do something totally random like a lighthouse at a landlocked city, lol.

good ideas but that would require them playing seattle which seems like they don't do too often.

Hehehe!

You know that he recycled that idea right? I've noticed that quite a few artists revisit some of their earlier works.

The Green Lady is the most iconic poster. For me, i'd have to say Sutton's Rome takes the cake.

Maybe not an all timer but so cool in person. Sometimes I just find myself starring at it for long periods. To me it's up there with some of the more recent notables (Charlotte '13, Pitt '13, Transformers '15 etc.).

That came out very nice. I have N8 Van Dyke AP as well, but mine is in a portfolio, and love looking at it. I've got to get it in a frame and hung on the wall. Can't believe it's almost been four years since that show. Think I'll listen to the boot.

Perth 98. Melbourne 98 is also extremely difficult to obtain

I'm still trying to figure out the love for that Istanbul poster...

As far as value and being rare....The Wrigley Harry Caray Variant is probably only behind Chicago Blackie, Kozik Green Lady, EMEK SB, and Sitting Bull!

The Kong is pretty good. One of the better post 2000 ones. 96 and 98 have a bunch that i think are nicer/cooler
