i don't get it... why is the mark 5 poster still available at $60?

PJ and Dylan are my muse

ummm, so I am gonna refund all my sales and have a do-over... and I thought $140 was a little steep...

To each their own I say. However, I can't wait to see these in person, when they arrive, as my show print is gorgeous!

bradklausen

and for the record I think faile do cool stuff

my thoughts exactly, it's awesome. personally I'm trying to cut back to show attended posters only. happy wife = happy life and all that. the one you mentioned though is tough to ignore even though I was nowhere near boston.

I'd guess because the Thomas print blows the other 5 Fenway prints away, that it has killed the demand for the others. Where at Wrigley the quality of the group as a whole seems a lot higher. At least to me.

The main reason is probably these were abundantly available at Fenway and were not hard to get, so it gives the perception of not being as desirable. I waited in a line for all of 5 minutes and there were plenty available. Faile was really hard to get at Wrigley. Like it or not, that's how many people's opinions are formed, even if they don't realize/aren't willing to admit it.

In terms of the print itself, I didn't like the combination of colours. Also think the playing card design has been done one too many times, and I don't really see anything particularly tied to Fenway in the design.

Since I was able to get the show edition, I didn't feel like I needed the AP (as I was saving to grab some others, yours included).

Regarding the Faile, I love their work so I had to have the AP, no question about it.

Faile's paintings and scupture are in art museums, they show in america & europe.
The pj posters seem inexpensive from the other work they sell.

Exactly!! Sometimes art goes beyond PJ gig prints everybody......

Yeah. I think it's a special poster from a special concert weekend. The formula for a artist to make 85 grand like this probably won't happen all that often. Good for him/her/them though.

Now that FAILE has completed their online artist sale, the only remaining retail availability of this poster is going to be here in the shop. Please be aware that this poster is going to do nothing but skyrocket in price in the near and distant future.

The days of this being less than $100 are quickly passing and it is already going into the $150 price range on eBay. If you miss out when they go on sale here, don't say you weren't forewarned.

I'm still a little skeptical on how high this can settle at. Only because it appeared on the surface that a lot more of these Faile posters were printed than other recent rare gems like Cracker Jack, Moline or Pittsburgh.

I just hope that it will drop here soon. Should have bought it at the show. I had the A/P in the cart and decided to pass on it in hopes of the 10c drop. I just wish we knew when to expect it.

I have no desire to own this. I think it is kind of ugly. The dog really bothers me too.

Hey Brad, if you have any left over AP or variants sitting around lonely, feel free to send either or both my way... Got the show edition, but it's not so special without your name written on it. If not no worries. Can't hurt to ask. Thanks.

I've said this in other threads but I really don't get the appeal for this poster. And I definitely wouldn't put it in the same category as Cracker Jack, Moline, or Pittsburgh.

I think it's neat - bit different than any others I have on the wall.

BURN!!!!

I'm sure it's a fine line for the artists to walk when it comes to pricing their prints. If they price them too high they might eliminate some people's ability to afford them in the artist's initial sale. We all know some prints get "flipped" well above their initial sale price and at those inflated prices a lot of people can't afford them. I appreciate the artists giving us common folk the opportunity to purchase them for a reasonable price.

Might the Ames' fiasco w/ the Global Citizen gold transformers variant inadvertently cracked the door open to what people are willing to spend for a poster? Prior to that poster I'd never considered dropping +/-$200 on a print. Despite the situation ending w/ a bad taste, it set in motion a larger fanbase having agreed to and experienced dropping that kind of coin for a show poster.

The writing has been on the wall for the past few years that the primary PJ demographic has gotten older and entered a stage of life where they have more disposable income and are increasingly willing to travel to shows and scoop up legions of merchandise (via 10C, artists' sales, at shows, etc). The proliferation of merchandise is a response to this demand. And now, perhaps, poster prices are as well.

Faile created a killer poster and, IMO, has pushed the envelope on how much folks are willing to spend on a poster. Their experiment obviously worked. Hopefully it's just that, an experiment, and not a new threshold. As mentioned above, I'm grateful for top tier artists like BK who consistently create frameable artwork and offer them at reasonable prices that most fans can still afford.

I'm still kicking myself for not getting one at the show..they were abundant and easy at $35. Now i shelled out $225 for the same print..ouch. They are signed though

Definitely more of these were printed, but tens of thousands more people attended the Wrigley shows this year than Pittsburgh, Wrigley 2013, and definitely Moline. (supply and demand)

That variant edition of 100 is what will be the really high price poster!

Congrats. I had plenty of chance at the show as there were tons when I hit the table, I had the A/P in the cart and passed again in hopes for another chance at $35! But it looks like everybody did well buying these. The desirability just keeps going up.

I don't think anybody know or cares about the printing defect.

I think i liked it because it was the most different of the Wrigleys. All-time tho i dont think it ranks very high. It's interesting so thats good.

I understand there is a demand for this poster I just don't get it. I think "The Catch" is overated too. But that's what makes these discussions great. Everyone has different tastes and values certain prints higher than others.
