    I’m always bitter about these ones. I should wait 24 hrs before I post anything lol. Congrats to those who got one if you are a real person. 
    Why be bitter man.... You should try to be a better man....

    I would not sweat it.  It's just posters... They were probably very very limited...

    Laying it out there now, but if anyone wants to get rid of either of the Manchester 2012 variants I'll happy take them off you.
    Those caught my eye too. I really like the original, for whatever reason, and had bought one from the 10C shop when they were on sale many years ago. Just the idea that they made five (?) variants for one poster where all the variants are completely different seems cool to me.

    Yeah, it has really cool layers so I love how they've made variants out of it. I just wonder if these variants are the same size as the definitive poster. I like the original: I have it framed but it's just rather big.

  • Gone in about 30 seconds.  Didn’t have my Paypal one touch set up so I lost valuable seconds.  Good side is I saved $200.

    I wonder if that design is sort of like a "tip of the hat" to something else? I know that same layering style was used for the Beatles Anthology covers, but I don't know if that too was a reference or nod to something else.

    Anyways, according to Expresso Beans, it looks like there were 5 variants and all were the same size as the original: 23x33. It'll never happen, but it would be so cool to have all six framed on a wall. Or maybe Ames would do a single poster with all six images...

    It's Hoss, as in Big Hoss and Hoss Cartwright.

    Not to be confused with Haas the Formula 1 company or whatever you wrote.

    I use this as a dig from time to time so I would like to see it used properly.
