Am I obsessed with getting as many Pearl Jam posters as possible????





I feel the need to get all of the ones from this tour for sure........







The boots I understand but this poster thing has me stumped...lol
Conversations getting dull
There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......

    Welcome to the poster world! It starts with pearl jam, but it will grow and soon you will find yourself with posters of bands you haven't even heard of.

    And art prints...

    And its gonna cost ya...

    And your girl is gonna be pissed because there are empty tubes all over the house...

    But its all cool:)

    cool, just get em out of them tubes, and into a flat storage box or folder.....just think of the creases and roll bends if you leave it too long...

    Like you I never get rounjd to framing mine either, so thanks to Evil Niko the first i got one of the A1 art files, which keeps them perfectly flaat and doesnt cost much at all....

    hey man, you are so right, but its a matter of control....I have none...

    I do have a rule whereby I only buy the ones I really like and ones I would put on my wall...probably the only reason I've managed to keep my collection under 50 so far

    I think it has to do with impulsion and common sense. Also you might have something else missing in your life... (I don't mean to be rude, but my sister is a psychologist and I know a bit).

    Ow there is common sense - just that "common sense" - phrase might not be the right thing to express it in academic world. Maybe good - situation addapted judgement or something like that. (let's not get to far into this disscusion :) )

    If someone wanna cure his/her addiction with posters a good thing to do might be getting rid of some - you can PM me for my adress ;) (just kidding)

    You have any more info or maybe even a web link to the art file you use? I have been searching in Toronto forever and haven't found a real efficient storage method.

    Its basically a material a1 zip case with slip in plastic inserts that hold all sizes of posters (only ones that hasnt fit by the smallest margins were the borgatta and the the La 06 Klausen) with black paper behind them to protect.....

    Aside from this being the biggest crock of shit I have read in a while, I have nothing to add to this thread. :D

    I enjoy posters, I enjoy collecting, and I enjoy Pearl Jam. Doesnt mean I have "mommie issues" or that I NEED this stuff and I would do ANYTHING to get it. I WANT this stuff, so I buy it, simple as that. Doesnt make me compulsive, and I like to think I have common sense(although in my early 20's, that was debatable).

    Sorry if you take it the wrong way, I just get tired of people telling me that I have issues because I COLLECT posters...Especially a guy that comes here and says "My sister is a psychologist, so I know a bit"...She is the shrink, you are not..YOU dont know shit! ;)..
