    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.

    Ireland 96, the best poster ever should be in this batch. Wonder what's the market value now 
    Was thinking the same. Was almost tempted to give it a go but no shipping to Ireland 😢

    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

    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
