    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. 
    Memories of AP2.

    Ames Bros already sells their posters on the high end of the market. Curious to see just how much of a "sale" this sale truly is....

    Things is they could do another run of some of their prints and sell out instantly.  If they needed money they wouldn’t have to stoop to scamming people.
    Very true

    There won’t be anything on “sale”. It will just be a sale of their goods.

    Anything good will be gone in seconds then half (hey, I'm being optimistic here) of those will be immediately flipped. I'll be on the lookout for the 2003 Champaign poster that I destroyed because I didn't take care of my posters back then.

    Also, they would have to negotiate that with Pearl Jam, right? Don't they have some kind of deal where they are allowed to print and sell a limited amount?

    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.
