    Playing devils advocate here - does anyone think they saw what certain posters are going for and then reprinted a few? Or do you think these are legit flat file finds? 

    I personally don’t think they would reprint any, but the timing is curious. 
    No. Ames doesn’t play that game. 
    Didn’t think so but had to ask.

    Ames had another 50 copies printed for the run and received a slap on the wrist for it.

    They still have all the original screens on hand.

    Sounds like it won't be a "Face Value Poster Exchange." More like "Ames Bros Premium." 😂

    Not sure what Ames means by “market value” but  I’m guessing it means expensive.  I don’t think there’s going to be too many bargains especially for the big guns like a Kong.  You might be better off posting an ISO on lost dogs rather than waiting on Ames.  You might get lucky and get a good deal.

    Yeah, it is cutting out the flipper to be straight to the ebay price.
    That is their right, of course, and I don't blame 'em

    Totally agree if they sell at a relative discount you know it will go straight to eBay. Let that money flow to them

    Yes sir
  • 96 Hartford was my first ever Pearl Jam show.  They had the bumper sticker-sized tickets, right due to the battle with Ticketmaster?

    People shouldn’t have their hopes up too much for this. Not that many PJ shows in October and Ames confirmed prices will be at or near market value
