What two posters should I frame?

So when I got the chance to attend my first Pearl jam show, I imagined that in my lifetime I would see three maybe four shows. So I framed the posters chronologically as I went. Then realised I couldn't keep doing that because the show count was getting a bit highter than three or four. I was helped in stopping by the Stockholm 2012 poster which by all metrics is ugly.

Anyway, I have room for one or two more posters. If they are the same size as one I have and don't want framed anymore, maybe I can just switch them out. Anyways,  not caring about any specific order anymore -- which two should I frame do you think? i have a hard time picking. And framing is expensive.

The ones that are not framed are at the bottom, below the grey line.

    Wow, what a collection.  I'm loving the Dusseldorf as well, and the Werchter 2010.

    Personal taste is a big factor but I would go with these two:

    I like the way Prague and Krakow look in frames. The two have a nice contrast. After that, Copenhagen would look decent on a wall.

    The ones above the grey line are already framed. For better or for worse.

    Definitely Prague.  I’m also partial to the EV Manchester because the guy looks like a villain from a Scooby Doo episode.

    You should edit the original post to make that more obvious, seems most are not getting that.  :lol:  

    Edit - nm, I see you did that!

    The prague one reminds me of swedish "allmogekonst" (peasentry art?)








    Dusseldorf is great. But I remember the poster being quite big. I think that one would have suited being smaller in size. Like being "cute" in size. But it's great art.

    My top two picks too.

    Also I like to frame shows that I have been to and meant something to me rather than what looks nice so maybe that would play a factor too?

    Frame the posters from your two favorite shows.

    That’s dangerous because sometimes the posters are real duds.  I feel like the shows I’ve seen have run 50/50 for hits and misses.  That’s what the flat file is for.  😬
