Pearl Jam 1998's Best of the Best

As of lately there have been various 1998 Pearl Jam posters that have been sold via 10c, ebay, collectionzz etc. Regardless of where they were sold, traded, or exchanged for, it always raises a debate as to pricing and particularly current and future values. That being said, this post is NOT about pricing or value, it is about which are the Best of the Best. The most sought after or desired, the cream of the crop. The ones you wish you had hanging on your walls or already do.

I have compiled a list of 25 posters below for easy reference. This list DOES NOT contain all of the 98's, just the ones I notice people most commonly bringing up in threads and are ISO. These are only Show specific posters (not promos, Yield Firehouse etc). It would be interesting to try and narrow down the top 5 or 10 greatest 1998's. Feel free to add any 1998 posters that you don't see on the list and you feel are your favorites.

I know Chris (Tempo) posted a thread a while back asking people what their PJ Grail is (this was a great thread), this is similar, but only for 1998 PJ posters.

The below list is ONLY a reference and posters are listed alphabetically. Go ahead and pick your Top 3 or 5 all-time Bad Boys. There really are some awesome posters and this must be the reason we love chasing them and dropping some heavy moola to own them. Have fun and please keep it clean.  

Pearl Jam Adelaide 98 Sutton

Pearl Jam Columbia 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Dallas 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Detroit 98 Ames

Pearl Jam East Lansing 98 Ames

Pearl Jam East Rutherford / NYC 98 Ames

Pearl Jam East Troy Chicago 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Hartford 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Knoxville 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Las Vegas 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Mansfield 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Melbourne 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Minneapolis 98 Sutton

Pearl Jam Missoula 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Sacramento 98 Ames

Pearl Jam San Diego 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Seattle 98 Ames

Pearl Jam St. Louis 98 Ames

Pearl Jam Vancouver 98 Ames

Pearl Jam West Palm Beach 98 Ames

***As I mentioned above, there are more 98's that are not on this list, go ahead and list them if they stand out as your faves. ***

Cheers

    I'll throw in a vote for Raleigh 98.  My first ever show.  My sister went too and bought a poster, but I didn't buy one.  Years later, I continued going to shows and got into collecting posters, but she kinda lost interest, but even still, wouldn't let me have that poster.  One year for Christmas, she finally gave me the poster all framed up!

    I know right.  I didnt buy at the shows I was at, mostly because I didn't want to get something and have it get ruined.  Then my mind drifted and I never imagined the scarcity and price these would fetch.
