Good on Brad for setting the price at what he deserves. Got a busy Wednesday so we'll see if one comes through. Oh fer this tour so far for Klausen.

How do the dad hats fit?  I love low crown hats but sometimes they are too small for my head and they don't feel like they come down low enough over my head.

The PJ dad had, with the cursive Pearl Jam on the side fits me fine, and I have a pretty big melon (7 3/8).  The Seahawks snapback one has a bit of a higher crown, but I think I'll be able to give it the hair dryer treatment to bring it down, after I get a good bill bend into it.

Just curious... How did you come to know of the hair dryer treatment?

youtube...... how to break in a fitted hat.  works like a charm

Much like the Mumford, I like the variant, but I like the original more, which is nice, as I now feel no qualms about not pursuing either. Good luck to those that are, though!

Is purple the new go-to variant color now??

I’m new to the poster game, is $200 high for a variant?

For me it is. 

They'll sell out though.

So the 2016 Faile variant was over $300 (I’m thinking actually $375, but could be wrong).  I think it’s bullshit to say that’s reasonable because there were 2 artists involved.  It’s still one poster.  Who here would be outraged if you got a bill for 2 times the amount for surgery that one doctor could perform, but since there were 2 doctors in the room, you got bigger bill.  Brad Klausen is in not really overcharging for a variant poster.  This could help weed out people who really do not want the poster, especially ones who buy cheap to flip or use as trade bait.  Or maybe this will go to rich flippers...

FAILE's price, just like this year, had nothing to do with being two artists involved. FAILE prints usually start for well about that amount anyway. They have a  big following outside of the PJ poster collectors circle.

The days where you at least had a chance at a reasonably priced variant or AP are over. It’s unfortunate, but understandable. A lot less posters will be purchased by me now. They may be killing flippers, but they are also killing the average joe collector.

In FAILE's case, you get what you pay for.  They're definitely a cut above the rest.  I mean, their PJ variant was a 9 color silkscreen I believe.  Like pjsteelerfan said above, they have a big following already.

I guess you pay more for their name.  Art is subjective.  To each their own.  I sure as hell think their Seattle poster isn’t worth $35 even for a variant because it’s damn ugly, but that’s just me.  I do have their 2016 Wrigley variant purchased at their artist drop, and do like that.  But I have read that arguement that they charge more because it’s 2 artists involved.  Just trying to prove a point about that.  Hope that everyone who really wants the variants and APs get them without resorting to secondary market markup.

I'm right there with ya.  Love the Klausen variant but more than I can pay at $200.  Of course I do enjoy seeing him get the profits rather than someone flipping it.

Anyone know how much the shipping is going to hurt on Mumford's APs coming out of the UK?

If someone is making it a point to collect APs and variants, I would not categorize that person as an average joe. In terms of value, that's the deep end of the pool.

Agreed. If you're making an effort to grab variants you know what you're paying. $75-100 for APs and $150-200 for variants seems pretty average to me. Even for much smaller bands/shows
