    I like that. They should get the money and it helps insure the buyer they are getting an authentic piece. Especially if something from say ‘98 gets released.

    The Donkey Kong poster on Ebay are going for $6,000?  Why?  How many were made?  They do look cool though.

    Likely won't sell for that much. 
    My opinion. Back then most fans cared less about posters. Once the collecting buzz kicked in, these are hard to come by. Great show & poster. I was fortunate enough to trade with a kind fan here when they were in the 300 range. Was at the show and saw someone with a tube. Was like 'ok they sell posters'. You may see more pop up and prices drop with lots of us clowns thinning out our stash.

    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.

    Why is the timing curious? They used to have older posters that would hang out at market rates for months. Doesn't strike me as crazy.

    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.

    Yeah. Their Chicago archive posters that went on sale a few weeks back were priced like that. 

    No one should think they are getting a Kong or a 98 for $50

    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....

    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?
