Pitt 98 FS

It sold for $1,000.  Watchcount.com is your friend if you want to know what best offers were accepted.
Congrats to seller, but no way in hell I'd ever buy a dry mounted poster....it's sacrilege and should be a crime for any framer who tries to sell folks on its benefits.  Phooey!

I'm familiar with watchcount. That site has not shown the actual best offer sale prices since early June. I know there are other sites out there like watchcount, and from what I've heard, they have not shown best offer sale prices since then, either.

If you don't intend to resell and can't tell the difference once it's on the wall, seems pretty attractive to pay $1k instead of $2k. 

I disagree and feel like once you get into a certain stratosphere of price, the potential resale value is a big factor. I would much rather drop 2k and feel confident I could recoup it if I needed to vs. dropping 1k and worry about it being worth a fraction of that.

Concert posters, although artistically great in their own rite, are far from fine art. Being concerned with recouping the value of what you paid for a concert poster, and/or being concerned with a concert poster's resell value likely means you're not totally invested in the art of the poster.  Additionally, making money of an artist's work is slimy.

A 98 Pitt on my wall for $1k....replaces one I sold for $2,200.00...for me it’s a no brainer ...perhaps ‘not for you’ ?  
If it’s going on my wall I could care less if drymounted...having said that I’ve had prints restored that were drymounted that turned out phenomenal 
There’s always more to the story but 
I do love the sharing of personal opinions 

Goldie

ps ... happy to take your drymounted and damaged prints off your hands

You also have money to burn, we know this so you aren't a very good example, lol.

Exactly. If you want it and don’t plan on reselling what does it matter. I have a poster that was laminated. Put it in a frame and it looks beautiful. Never going to get rid of it.
