Finding mint ones can be hard. This was before the poster craze started. I think the amount made was pretty small (300ish per show for most shows). They weren't collectible yet, so people were pinning them on walls, drymounting them etc. I suppose there's a reason why mint ones can go for a couple grand, and even at that, they can be next to impossible to find :(
Oh I didn't look that closely. Still wound up around 500 I believe
wayyyy too much. The 96 Meriwether someone paid 700 for dry mounted too.
I suppose. 98's are in rare supply, of limited number, and so many are damaged because they weren't considered collectible at the time. Many of the '98s for a mint condition can go for $1500 to $2000. If you've been waiting years to see a poster pop up on ebay, and there's little to no options, I can see why people would pay that much for damaged or dry mounted copy :(
I thought it was bad when I paid $400 USD for a Seattle '98 and $210 USD for a Vancouver '98 to round out the '98 shows I saw (I bought the Missoula '98 at the show). I had no idea how much crazier it would get with time.
I suppose if you give it 20 to 30 more years when many of us have to start downsizing, there will be fire sales
