It is one of the better years for sure.

2-feign-reluctance

Nah

mcgruff10

I whole heartedly disagree.

hsohi

Space Ape and that's it.

buck502000

A nice variety of artists for sure

HesCalledDyer

It surely beats 2014, but what doesn't?

There were definitely some dud posters, but name a better overall year.....in your opinion.

droptheleash9

Still can't believe that they didn't have a Munk One poster this tour.

Phoenix - SIT


Portland - Emek


And a bunch of GREAT posters:
SAO PAOLO:


BUENOS AIRES:


LONDON:


WRIGLEY:









BUFFALO:


WORCHESTER 2:


PHILLY 2:


BALTIMORE:


CHARLOTTE:

**This one is CLOSE to a "Classic" poster for me!!

SAN DIEGO:


SPOKANE:


CALGARY:

Everyone is trying to hard. From the creator to the purchaser to want those old times. But i get your point op whst this thread is about.

I am stuck in the 90s with music and the posters

PJammer4life

2006 was better.

@derbydave, nice argument.....2013 did have some posters that are EXTREMELY valubable right now.

Only time will tell if any of 2016's can creep up to those prices. But the Fenway catch, Miami, and Lexington seem to be well on their way.

Jax was definitely one of the lesser ones from this year!

JojoRice

Lots of ups and downs for 2016. Jax and Hampton were the worst. Columbia and Lexington were awesome.

pjsteelerfan

Think it was a very good year, be curious to see what people think in a year or two about them

what does value have to do with anything? is that what makes good art now? PJ fans overpay for everything so the value of a poster, or scarcity of it, doesn't equate to quality for me... that Lexington print is garbage in my opinion, I don't care if it goes for $1k

2013 side note: the Charlotte and Baltimore prints are WAY better than that Phoenix print in my opinion... they are also better than 95% of the prints from this year in my opinion

Yeah, an average to below average Ames 2013 Wrigley print sells for over $1,000 because only 20 or so were made by changing the color. Rarity does not equal quality.

Kearn5y

For me USA 2003 & Canada 2005 have some of the best posters.

I agree with you buddy!
LOVE the Charlotte poster...
stopped just short of calling it a "classic" poster.
I have a copy of that one even though I didn't attend the show!!
Haven't seen the Baltimore one in person,
but it is a GREAT poster too!!
I have both red & white versions of the Phoenix poster,
as well as the SIT from Amsterdam...
his work is INCREDIBLE!!

Hard to choose.
I'm curious, with all the multiple-poster-shows the past few years, how different posters we have to choose from for each year. Some shows from year ago would only have one poster for a whole leg of the tour. The odds are against the years with less posters.

Classic poster = highly sought after = extremely valuable

I would put the Charlotte one in the "classic" category...probably because I was there!!

Munk One was on fire in 2013...
he had 3 GREAT PJ posters that year!!

Four if you count the colab with Dabs Maya on the Wrigley Mural.
