    Wow, cool stuff, but out of my price range, unfortunately.

    The Perth is really cool and one of the rarest prints but $5000 seems a little out of bounds.  I really like the Sydney but there's been a pristine one on Ebay for months at $1000.  I wish it was $850.

    The Adeliade looks weird without the "PEARL JAM" text above the carny's head.   (Glad I bought mine for < $100 in 2003!)

    Who snagged that 98 Perth? Crying inside that I don't have that one in my collection.

    Whenever I think the market for these PJ posters has topped out, Ames has an archive sale and the buyers seem to show up.

    FAQs

    When is this happening?
    The sale begins Tuesday, April 15th around 10AMish PST, and wraps up end-of-day on April 16th. 

    Are these reprints?
    No. We have carefully maintained a stored archive of each and every poster we've ever created. 

    Are you offering all of the posters in your archive?
    No. Only posters from shows that occurred in April will be for sale. And not every poster we’ve ever designed will be available. 

    How many are available of each poster for sale?
    At least one.

    Will they be at original pricing?
    No. Pricing will be at or near market value. 

    Should I get in touch to complain or haggle on the price?
    No. Go outside and enjoy your day. So will we. 

    Are these legit?
    Heck yes! The posters are all from the original run/edition. After looking around at what's available in the market, we see a lot of fake signatures. This is a chance to buy directly from the actual artists and guarantee authenticity. 

    What kind of condition are the posters in?
    Everything available is in mint or near mint condition (unless otherwise noted). Keep in mind that even though the posters have been carefully stored away and treated with the utmost care, they are all hand crafted items. Because of this, they are often a little bit unique in and of themselves and a little different from each other. We find that to be a beautiful thing. We've worked with dozens of different printers over the years, and each has their own style, ink and paper stock. That said, we won't put anything up for sale with dog-ears, creases, marks etc... and if we do, we will make a note of it. Otherwise assume it's in M/NM condition. 

    How long will the sale last?
    The sale will last for 2 days or until the posters are all sold out. All of the posters will be made available on the 1st day of the sale around 10am.

    Will all the posters be put up for sale at the same time?
    Yes.

    Does this archive sale include t-shirts?
    No. Right now this is poster specific, but we will be releasing more older tee designs over the next few months. 

    How will the posters ship?
    All will ship fully insured in a sturdy tube via whatever premium shipping service you chose. 

    How long until my poster ships?
    Please allow 2-3 weeks before orders are processed and begin to ship. You will receive a shipping notice when your poster is packaged and ready to ship. 

    Will you offer returns?
    No, we will not. All sales are final. All shipments will be fully insured against any damage that could occur during shipping, 

    Can I cancel an order I placed by accident or that I changed my mind on?
    No. Because this is a short sales window of 2 days, if you buy it, it's yours. To ask us to cancel after isn't fair to us or other people who are interested in the poster. Please make up your mind before you buy. 

    Will you ship outside of the US and Canada? 
    No, we will only be shipping archive prints to the US and Canada at this time. 

    Can I combine multiple orders?
    No. In an effort to expedite orders and stay organized, individual orders will be shipped as such. 

    See ya Tuesday!

  • Do they do these archive sales every month?  I just got on the mailing list so this was the first one I’ve seen.  Upset I have missed out on others….

    They sure do...you can get on the Ames mailing list and get an emailed reminder.  They 'almost' only sell posters from historical shows from the same month...but that doesn't mean that all of the posters from that month will be sold...

    It seems to be working out as I think that they have been doing this for over a year.  Still waiting for Sacramento  (July of 2008) to come up...
