    This thread answers the question on the poster thread. A lot don’t seem interested. Myself included. Don’t see the value of owning a third version when there doesn’t appear to be any collectible value since it’s a presale and you can buy 5.
    However, if these were limited to a several thousand, there’d be more demand and already sold out.

    100%. Wait until without warning these are sold out and watch the outrage that follows.

    A lot were not interested in that specific poster either. Myself included. A lot of people are not interested in owning a third copy - or any vinyl copy of Yield. 

    Having this readily available I would imagine will make Pearl Jam money. At the same time, they don't fuck fans over.

    I would be curious how many they sell with an open pre order like this. And how quickly that same number would sell if they advertised it as limited to X number of pressing.
    I would guess they’d sell move faster with it being limited.

     It would be interesting if the band would ever sell limited items on the site at an official platinum price.  (Like concert tickets). For example.  Out of the 1000 yield posters if ten club would have kept 100 to sell at the rate that flippers would sell on another site. Personal if I missed a limited item that I really wanted I would rather pay ten club the inflated price then a flipper on eBay.

    If there was a number it probably would have sold out if it was under 10,000 ish between mvp and here.  People would buy multiples like crazy if these were numbered

    I think that doing tickets like that is bs and so would doing merch like that. Posters and records are items and not an experience like live music. They really should just make enough to satisfy the demand.

    Agree.

     If the poster was an open edition people would be making the same complaints they’re currently making about the vinyl… “Don’t need another poster, I already have the original, I remember paying $10 for a poster, or shipping is ridiculous.”

    Exactly. More power to you if it brings you happiness but at the end of the day it is all just stuff.

    You're missing people saying they didn't need another poster with that bias of yours.

    Keep your vinyl in nice condition specifically reissues and if a new more interesting pressing comes along then sell the old one. I upgrade my records all of the time so I rarely have more than 2 copies.Granted you might only get your postage price but saves having lots of copies of the same record. Also there is a promotion on with VMP at the moment to get additional free records when you subscribe, probably worth looking at.
