Was 2016 was the greatest year for posters since 1998?!

@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.

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

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!!

Still bummed I had to miss the Charlottesville & Charlotte shows,
that would've been a FUN roadtrip!!
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.

I will probably take Brad Klausen 2005/2006 over all of the prints/artists combined from 2016...

Just check the 2016 poster thread. There are a ton of posters people are trying to dump.
