too quiet on the poster front ! :eek:

where are our tubes,..

and please, more importantly---

where is Santos ?

plus....will there be a leg 2 sub from Ames?

so what does everyone think.


did they really turn it up

or did he mean Leg 2 ?

well, I think the Ames posters were pretty good for the most part.

The problem is that we have all the Klausens to compare them to.

I don't hate you...not at all.
I'm disappointed because I've wanted the MSG in my collection for a long time...to keep in my collection. I'm not a dealer, I'm not a "flipper," I'm a collector. I try to let the art guide my decision making.

On a side note people, I made a trade last year with a very nice guy that I met on this board. He traded me a Santa Barbara '03 AND a Gorge for my extra pink Borgata.

What do you all think about that trade? Was that fair? Did I make out better or did he? Talk amongst yourselves.

Before you answer though, read further...

There is a tube on the way to this same guy's house right now. The tube contains four posters from this first leg from shows that I attended valued at over $500. He will probably get it tomorrow. He has sent me nothing for it. Included in that tube is one Klausen DC print that I bought with him in mind. I sent along a PM to this person thanking him for the trade he made with me for my Borgata and let him know that the DC was my way of showing my appreciation to him for following through with our agreement even after the price of the Santa Barbara shot way up to a value equal to the Borgata's. That trade may have been hard for him to deal with after that happened, but he followed through with it anyway. Now he has a Klausen DC without ever even asking for one. If he chose to do so he could turn around and sell it right now for $200.

This is a very true story, I assure you. You should try not to get hung up on the money because you never know whom you are dealing with.

The MSG means a lot to me. I have been trying for that print since 2003. I was going to surprise my son with it. If Bath had followed through with the trade I would have never forgotten about him and what he did for me. I would have returned his gesture 10 fold at my first opportunity. You can believe me. That is how I choose to operate. There are many people on this board that will vouch for my sincerity.

Just tell the guy you had second thoughts of trading an incredibly valuable poster for one that is hot right now. You have every right to say no thanks until the tube hits your mailworker's hands. It sounds like you might wanna wait on this one Bath!!!

There is nothing wrong with this advice and Bath was extremely polite. I have no hard feelings towards him what so ever. He seems like a very nice guy. It is easy to get caught up in these Pearl Jam posters based on their EB average value or the current Ebay trends. I don't. I enjoy them for what they are and what they mean to me. Every poster I own has a story behind it. Those series and their beauty mean much more to me than the money someone says they're worth.

I hope the 10c has a 1st leg sale soon and everyone who wants a DC gets one. It is a phenomenal poster up close.

Nice post.

I may have an MSG 03 for you. I'm working on a trade...if I get it, it's yours.

I didn't buy leg one, but I'm considering leg 2. I don't know why, though, because I only REALLY liked one from the first leg, and thought two or three were not too bad. But the rest, eh, not worth it.

I'm not going to any of the shows, either (I don't think), so that makes the difference.

Of course, if Ames ever gets back to me about an internship and I move back to Seattle for a few months, I'll probably see them at the Gorge. Then, for sure. But that's highly unlikely since they aren't talking to me.

That's pretty amazing.
If that happens, it will come back to you for a long time.

Thank you.
