Artists should be charging more for these. You look at the market and $65-75 is a steal. You can bitch about flippers all you want, but the reality is that selling at those retail prices creates a huge opportunity.
Agreed, a $30 m/u for an AP is nothing.
Does the band have input on their pricing? Are they nervous about alienating customers? Do we overstate the actual number of prints that sell at dramatically elevated mark-ups? If those were priced at $150 would they hang around? So many questions.
Ahhh,...poster drops followed up by posts complaining about missing out...almost makes me feel like we're back to normal life again.
Don't forget all the 10C art critics. If anyone needs a taste of normalcy, this is the place to be.
Haha. Yep. Only thing missing is griping about ticket lotteries. This was the dose of normalcy I needed today. I'll check back at 12:01 CST for some more...

Exactly right, the artists should make the prices high enough to deter flipping. I don't believe the band puts a ceiling on what they can charge.

There's a premium for PJ posters. If they marked up pricing on PJ and none of the other bands they do posters for then all the PJ fans would be bitching. Lose lose situation for them.

Ten Clubber walks into a Monet exhibit: "GARBAGE GARBAGE ALL TRASH. THESE PAINTINGS SUCK."
Less than 5 min a flipper has STL on ebay. sickening
In this case, honestly, what's the big deal?
I'm sure someone will buy it because it's limited edition and Pearl Jam. I get it, but why is it a big deal in 2020?
The concert didn't happen. No one was there and didn't get a poster. Tenclub should have plenty to go around, for people who did not even attend.
If some "fan" with too much money and too little common sense wants to pay a ridiculous price on ebay for "art", the artist got paid during the pandemic already.
It may be a lame business practice, but it's not like the guy is hoarding water. I don't usually defend flipping, but the concerts didn't happen. Some people are waiting in food lines and getting evicted, others can buy prints at a premium on ebay.
Your definition of "sickening" and mine differ I guess. I don't believe in taking advantage of people and am not some "hey, it's america, capitalism" person. I just think there are bigger issues these days, even though we are on a PJ forum talking about prints.
For the record, I have MSG tickets, liked the poster, didn't try, and am pretty freaking good at drops and can maybe PB for someone later if they need help.
Good take until the part about little common sense and ridiculous prices.
I hate the argument that they should raise the AP prices much more. It’s a balance. You are just feeding the rich collectors at a certain point and not giving the little guy a shot to get one at an affordable cost

Eh...history tells us people will bitch no matter what. Whether or not they sell would be my only concern. These are premium items.

I don't know, do rich art collectors bother with rock posters? I consider them art but to the serious collector's they're not really fine art worth putting in their portfolio. I'd say the market for rockabilia is mostly dominated by mouthbreathing boomers who show up at record conventions and want $1000 for a Jennifer Lopez cardboard cut out. I've seen this happen.

And yes, I was into that JLO cutout. I was single at the time.

SEs are for the little guy. That's what I buy.
Agreed, if you want a poster signed by the artist, be prepared to pay for it.
Did anyone see how Tool's poster artists handled the poster AP sales in the last year? They were printed in super limited runs, and the artists let ebay set the market for their APs. Who can blame them?
Alex Gray was getting $300+ for his APs and they still sold out in a heartbeat.
Prints signed by the band were reselling for upwards of $1K so artists added remarques to posters and sold them for $500 - $750 and the demand was still through the roof.
I applaud the artists getting all they can; I would rather see them get the money then some scrub doing nothing but cruising the internet.
My guess is $85 for Ames AP. Who takes the under /over?

Agree 100%. Especially in this economy I want to see every dollar possible going to the artists.
I didn't even see the SE. Only $200 for variant. How much was SE for Baltimore?
