That is one of the beat Ames posters in a long time
Lexington
Lexington and Columbia. I think the jackalope was so bad people are forgetting that Ames had a great year until Fenway lol.
Columbia was done by Taylor and Lexington was an uninspired rehash of an old poster. Ames hasn't done a truly great poster since 2007.
I meant Greenville. I love both of these posters so your opinion is they haven't done anything great since 2007. Their Lexington is a very high demand poster which would suggest otherwise
Being in demand doesn't mean it's a great poster(see everything from Wrigley 2013 although the Cracker Jack isn't bad). And that doesn't change the fact it is still an uninspired rehash of an old poster and theme(five guys in a v-ish stance in costumes). Greenville is one of their more inspired and original pieces in a while but I will give you that, still not great.
Anything you lose from being honest You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
That will be interesting... wouldn't surprise me to see Ames Bros do LA & Seattle posters too! To me, this poster is about average for an Ames poster... not GREAT, but DEFINITELY not one of their worst!!
I never understood the hate for the '10 Columbus. Putting aside the fact the show was terrific (which IMO helps to solidify a poster's stature), if this poster had the words NEW YORK CITY in place of COLUMBUS on it the price it commands would likely be 2X/3X its' current value. A "fun" poster you can enjoy getting lost in and analyzing all the little details...I may be in the minority on this but those are the hallmarks of a solid effort as far as I'm concern.
To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

I think Ames has a certain style that they stay close to from year to year. If you're not a fan of that style or if you demand that they constantly reinvent themselves year after year then I can see why you might prefer other artists. But to state they haven't done anything great in 9 years is a little ridiculous.

The problem for me, is that most of their stuff looks "lazy" or quickly done. Compared to e.g Munk One who seems to but a lot of effort into his drawings, coloring, details etc.

Actually, the price of the variant isn't that crazy. Based on there only being 85 red variants compared to 330 regular blue ones the price should be $272. And that doesn't factor in all of the blue regulars sold at two nights worth of shows - what's that, maybe another 1,000 copies or so? Buy now or cry later...
I like ames. Beautiful poster. Good service and always quick response. But what I don't like is the shipping costs. Come on 51$ to the Netherlands!!!! That's insane!!!

It seems they got 85 people to pay $200 a pop, as they're sold out.
Hey all, I'm new to this print/poster deal. Are the posters available on Ames site the same as the ones available at the concert minus the signature and #, or are the ones available online a better quality vinyl print?
