I was wildly wrong about which Seattle posters would be most coveted. 

I thought DB Faile would be the crown jewel because:

1) the recent news about DB Cooper identity possibly revealed by the author of a new book 

2) the fact that an actual airplane was hijacked and crashed near Seattle on 8/10/18.

I honestly think that most people have no idea who DB Cooper is and what it means to Portland/Seattle folklore.

I was hoping that one would drop today after the Emek. The fact the Emek is still up though gives me hope that the Faile might be up for awhile too.

The only 2 I liked from Seattle were the BK and the Emek.

Don't particularly care for the print (PE    ARL   JAM was the part I liked the least)

Always tough to guess what folks will like most

The airplane was stolen not hijacked.

I liked the Faile too, but ended up with the Klausen because of his pricing and how much the print grew on me.

Regardless, scary shit considering there were 45,000 people at Safeco Field at the same time.

I have an extra DB Faile for trade if anyone is dying for one. And I do actually really like it, which is why I bought it.  Hadn't even made the whole "stolen plane" connection to the poster until now, thanks!  That was some scary shit, we're SO LUCKY that guy didn't really have a plan.  Cuz whenever I look at that amazing pic from above Safeco of that night... scary shit coulda gone down.

No doubt, I was there too, thankfully I didn't hear about it until the next morning.  I didn't want to sound like a jerk when I said it was stolen and not hijacked.  I hope no offense was taken.

I dont get the excitement about t he Shuss.  It looks like my 10 year old drew it while having dinner at applebees!

That's what's so great about it

I agree. i love the Shuss one.
All of the seattle ones were way better than the Wrigley ones. Would take any of them over the Wrigley shows. Wrigley got screwed on posters this year, except Thomas.

I gotta say Paul Jackson did a great Wrigley poster. Id take it over any of the Seattle posters

No offense, you were correct. 
I like how the coordinates are on the poster. Nobody has found that money yet!

unknown

are both of these still in stock ? i'm kind of surprised they aren't sold out ?  so really rome might be the only one

that might be hard to get ?

Its really insane, one kid in the early 80's found three bundles of it on the river banks, but none of it has ever circulated.  The wiki page on DB Cooper is a really fascinating ready.  Faile did a great job with this print.

I’d really like to get the 2018 Krakow, Poland poster. Has it already come and gone?

No still waiting on Prague and Berlin as well.

Prices down to 24.50 on non Eddie Vedder and non EU 2018 posters... if ya scroll on down...

RyGuy

Anyone interested in creating a cheat sheet of what's come and gone in terms of poster sales, and what's left to go? Would be interesting to take a look at the big picture...

HesCalledDyer

Almost 4 hours later and an Emek is still up?  Surprised it hasn't sold on the name alone.

Bissy77

I'm guessing they have more than normal releases, can't believe EMEK is still up.  I really like this one.

CROJAM95

I picked up an EMEK earlier

Would rather have the variant.....that one is sick

Ames and Jackson were average I guess. 
Maybe I was a little harsh, but spaghetti arms and baby brain are just bad. Thomas was easily the best, but  still nothing that was really great.

Out of 5 posters, and considering it was a mini tour (not like they were comissioning 100 posters or something), I was expecting something better.

I love it too. But I don’t understand the owl. Anyone know the meaning of the owl?

"The owls are not what they seem."

It’s a hawk. Possibly related to Andre Dawson who played for the cubs and was nicknamed The Hawk.

Ahhhh, ok. I’m clearly not very good at bird identification. Thank you!

Trust me...im not either. Lol. I think the Andre Dawson connection is speculation but it does make sense. I’d like to think that’s the significance of the hawk in the poster.

Rome, Prague and Berlin will all go very quickly.  Krakow too probably.  Klausen Seattle will go quickly as well.

Going with the prohibition theme here, I'm thinking that the cop is a falconer, using the hawk to hunt down the rats (bootleggers) running alcohol through the sewers.
