These variants of posters being sent out in the boxes are not part of the original run of signed & numbered the artist sold. Glad for the ones receiving them. But seeing a lot of Thomas "The Catch" variants show up, when a lot of people got screwed when Steve didn't package the posters correctly, and they got all messed up in shipping, is kind of a bummer for those who got screwed on the original sale by Steve.
A variant poster doesn't always come from the artist AP sale. Variants are often mixed in the stacks with the show edition posters. Not sure if this happened with the Thomas "The Catch" poster... but I know that both the Seattle '13 Riot Act variant, and the double uncut version of this poster were available from the merch stand at the show. I'm guessing that may be where the variants used for this round of mystery boxes came from.
Dave those uncut riot act posters were put into tubes at the merch stands. They never were offered for sale. A few were raffled off at the popup shop too.
That's RIGHT!!! The uncut version was put in random tubes... and the Riot Act variants were in the stacks with the regular show edition posters. I knew I saw people walking away from the merch truck with them!!

Not going to disagree that artist have been known to put variants in a stacks. Especially groups other then PJ, and sell foils, variants, etc. as well at the merch stands. But the 2016 tour, only 4 shows (Lexington, Greenville, Fenway, and Wrigley had variants, Sperry did the foil one from Miami, but that was a long time after the show and the AP's were sold). Don't remember anyone on here or any place saying they got a variant at the shows in 2016. Oh well, no biggie, and congrats to the lucky ones who received them in their box.
Mystery to me no longer. Very happy...have already traded half of it (LA poster and two 2016 t-shirts), so more mail box fun next week (Crashious hoodie and two other 2016 t-shirts). Thanks Santos and 10C team!

Yeah total bummer hey? Or you could have had your order cancelled too.
I ordered a XXXL Box, and did it primarily for the T-Shirts.
Therefore I couldn't be happier. Got 3 2016 Tour shirts, and love them all.
Got a brand new PJ20 wristband. (which will look great framed with my ticket stub/poster etc.... someday)
Also (not pictured) got a perfect Trieste ticket (not a stub the entire unused ticket). That is a show I attended, so love having a pristine ticket. Got a 2014 Europe hat, and two Europe posters. Would be happy to trade, etc. if anyone needs those.
Also a bunch of stickers etc. I don't have a desire to trade any of the little things, but if someone needs something. let me know. - Nate

So I got a Mark5 Fenway variant. Don't know much about it or if it even has value.
