    I can’t believe this is going for $2500. I bought this in a thrift store in Seattle for $20. I had it in a tube for a really long time before finally framing it. Mine doesn’t have the red lines through the letters though. So I wonder what edition this is. 
    I was curious about why my poster looked different from the one on the Ames site in terms of not having the red lines through the letters. So I sent them an email to ask about it. Here is what they said. I think it is pretty cool.

    That IS pretty cool! Thanks for seeking and sharing this info from Ames. As a serious poster collector, I like learning new things like this.

    Can someone tell me what the difference between AP1 and AP2 are? They were priced the same.

    From AI ...

    Ames Bros. posters marked "AP" (Artist Proof) and "AP2" (Second Artist Proof) are both limited-edition prints from the original print run, with "AP2" referring to additional first-run prints that were returned to the artists, then signed and numbered, and sold from their archives. Both AP and AP2 versions are typically signed and numbered by the artists and are not reprints, although they are distinct from the main edition prints sold at shows. 
    Key Differences and Similarities:
    • Source: AP and AP2 posters both originate from the original print run and are from the artists' personal archives.
    • Significance: Both are considered valuable collector's items due to their limited nature and direct artist involvement.
    • Condition: Archive posters, including AP and AP2, are typically stored in flat files and are in mint or near-mint condition unless otherwise noted.
    • Availability: While APs and AP2s were often sold directly by the artists or through their archives, other print versions might have been sold at shows or through other retailers.

    My order from this sale arrived yesterday.  Unfortunately the tube was crushed and the poster was damaged.  I've reached out to Ames Bros., but not expecting any resolution on it

    Damn! Hope they have an extra from the archives for you. 

    Remember that year, or 2, Ames Bros shipped out prints in PVC tubes? They should totally bring that back.

    I love Ames.  But for the amount of money people pay for their posters, they should really upgrade the tubes.  At least put the tube in a triangle shipping carton from the USPS.  I had this happen with them with an AP I ordered a few years ago.  The tube was crushed and the poster was pretty damaged.  They did replace it so all’s well that ends well.

    Just heard back from them. Sent me a return shipping label, and once they get the damaged one back they're sending a replacement.  Can't beat that.
