i think it is funny that EVERYONE wants the same posters, whether they went to the shows or not. i bet if they were worth the original $25 we would see little to no demand

does anyone buy the damn things based on the art rather than the value? (not saying you niko80, just in general it seems everyone wants the same 5-6 posters mostly because of their value

I want them based on the art. Nothing more. If I have to pay 300 for them then so be it. They are on the top of my wishlist and I need them on my wall!

I think you are onto something when you suggest that the high value creates higher interest in the posters than they would normally get. They create a buzz that some people just gets drawn to. I might be one of those, but my intentions are not make a profit of them.

They are gonna shine on my wall!

i just want the damn eagles of death metal poster. and the shark too since i was still passed out drunk when santos decided to surprise us back in april.

just to clarify...i wasnt saying you were going to profit from them. it is just the fact that everyone wants the same exact posters. we all cant have the same taste and all think the same posters are cool. it is the value that is drawing the inetrest...

i personaly dont like the copenhagen... some guy with a hammer? but some like it, or love it.

i saw the albany 06 at the show and walked right past it because i didnt like it.


quick question for you my friend... why would you want to frame and hang a poster on your wall from a show you didnt go to? help me understand.

As I said in my last post, its the art. But then its also pearl jam. I love pearl jam. Their music is coloring my life in so many ways.

I also love art, and when I stumble across good art associated with pj, I want it. And It doesnt have to be expensive concert posters. I have framed promo posters as well, posters that I have picked up for 5 dollars or less.

While doing a 100 dollar framing job for a 5 dollar poster sounds insane to you, it doesnt to me. To me it has great value. Why? Because it looks frickin fantastic on the wall in my mountian lodge!

It's turning into a hobby. And off course, with every hobby that involves collecting, you will always want whats hardest to come by. Its human nature!

I hope this answered your question.

quick question for you my friend... why would you want to frame and hang a poster on your wall from a show you didnt go to? help me understand.

First off, what does it matter if you go to the show or not? I have been to many shows that have posters I wouldn't ever think of hanging on my walls. I went to Dallas '03 (ugly purple/pink skull poster), I have the poster but highly doubt it will ever see the light of day, at least not on my wall. I didn't go to the West Palm Beach '03 show, but loved the image, so I bought the poster and paid the money to have it properly framed and then put it on my wall. I also did this with countless others, Melbourne '03, Borgatta Pink, just to name a few, that I didn't go to. I buy posters based on artwork, and now after framing 10 and having over 15 still in tubes that probably won't be hung, I only buy prints that I know I will frame and hang on my wall.

That being said, I really hope I am fortunate enough to score a Klausen Showbox '04, LA '06, Duseldorf '06, and Hawaii U2/PJ. I could care less about what they go for on eBay or the secondary market, I like how they look and want to put them on my wall. I didn't go to any of these shows, nor do I care. I just like the artwork and hope to be able to display them for me and my guests to see. I like to think that a majority of the demand for these posters is based on the quality of the artwork. I realize this is a very optimistic and naive way to look at this, but it is how I see it. All the posters I am in search of happen to be expensive in the secondary market. I really want them, and would want them equally as badly if they weren't "worth" a lot. I actually wish they weren't "worth" a lot because then I would have already bought them and framed them.

End of rant. Grow up. I am tired of hearing you complain incessantly since Flatstock.

Quick answer... Uhhh... because of the art????? I wasnt at The DC, Toronto or South America show, but they look damn good on the wall.

i like the posters for the images.
if they stir something inside of me, i go for it .
Also- if i go to a show, and i dont really care for the artwork , i probably would still try to get 1 , strictly for my attendance / collection purposes.


Can anyone assist me in getting a DC 06 and a PJ / U2 Hawaii- should i be absent when the sales go onward- from both artillery and / or 10 Club. ?


thanks a whole lot.

Bath, not 100% positive but I think BK said that there wouldn't be any DC '06s on the site, you had to wait for the 10c sale or go to ebay. I have to keep reminding myself of that cause it's my #1 Klausen ISO, closely followed by Dusseldorf.

Peace,
