    I’d even take a replica. Guy on eBay is asking $1k and it looks like he used it as a dart board and is ripped and torn. Crazy asking price for the condition 
    One Friday morning in 2013 I ran a search on eBay and stumbled across a seller in NJ listing what appeared to be someone’s collection. By Friday afternoon we were discussing over the phone and it turns out two brothers had collected their posters together and when one passed away the other sold off his collection. The next day I was in NJ picking up ~75 posters I wanted of which roughly 50 were ‘96 and ‘98 PJ posters. We agreed on $75 each and I carefully drove back with them. One of two jackpot eBay finds I’ve stumbled upon over the years.
    You paid $5600 for all those posters, did u flip them, trade them , hang them??

    I have most of them but haven’t looked at them in years. They’re all stored in a flat file off site. I know I sold a few almost immediately: someone wanted the Nirvana Kozik and I wasn’t going to frame it and he wasn’t going to leave me alone lol.

    Don't happen to have my "holy grail" of Sacramento 98 in that haul do you?

    Glen Hansard might be the best they have ever had. Ben Harper was good but Glen takes the #1 spot, was incredible!
    I was amazed at how good he sounded, didn’t expect to enjoy an opener that much

    Glen's own show was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.

    That wall mural is amazing.

    Was it the Mansfield '98 that Jose recently put up?
