    Pearl Jam CCFA Benefit Gorge '06 Smith Uncut A/P

    Only 6 exists!!

    Your post reminded me of this ... edition of 1

    Bigsky on ebay owns it ... I've seen him try to sell it but no one else has bought it ... I think he was charging several grand:

    A one of a kind 3-D version of the PJ/CCFA Melbounrne S/E. This newly realized vision was created by Seattle artist (and my assistant) M. Braack. Four screen prints were sacrificed to create this meticulous masterpeice. The poster is an amazing layering of hand cut pieces each mounted on black foamcore and raised one level from another. This makes drop shadows to create a visual perspective that is most definitely 3D. The piece is framed in a black wood shadow box under glass. The overall effect gives the viewer a distinct feeling of dimension and depth that make this image new and exciting.

    Poster is from Saturday, 10/1/05
    The picture is of Friday night's poster. This poster contains a pink ink, while Saturday night's uses a red ink where pink was used for the previous night's poster. Brad Klausen explains: "tonight's poster is slightly different, no pink, more of a red, not as much contrast....my printer ran out of pink ink towards the end, so we had to make do with what was available,....so for those who don't like the pink maybe tonight's will suit you better..."


    Brad Klausen on BRY.com 1/22/06:
    "ACs....i believe it was 1000, don't quote me on that though...have to double check

    More pinks then reds, only about 250 reds, and i agree with you, the pinks are way better then the reds, reds are much flatter...there weren't supposed to be any reds, it was an audible at the last minute. I understand why people want the reds because there aren't as many, but really, the pinks are so much better, that's how the poster was designed to look."

    i've always respectfully disagreed with bK RE: the "Pink vs. Red" debate, i MUCH prefer the Red version of the '05 Atlantic City poster (which i have framed and up on the wall) to the Pink version which i keep in my poster portfolio, i think the extra pink is just a tad too much for the poster,...

    I own probably 200 Pearl Jam posters and I think that this poster is in my top 5. This poster is amazing in person and there is so much detail.

    I am looking for a San Diego 98. I own just about every poster from 95-00. I have an extra Boston 98, east lansing 98, Chicago, and Amsterdam 96. I also have an extra Istanbul 96 but wouldnt trade it straight up.

    Also the two hardest posters that were available to public to find are Prague 96 and Istanbul 96. I have both framed luckily but they were tough to obtain. Prague by far is the hardest Ames to find.

    there's someone not too far away from my current location who took it upon himself to print up reproductions (i.e. Fake versions) of such posters as the '96 Istanbul and '98 Adelaide. as i recall he was selling these for $30 a pop. i believe Ames (it might have been Ames' lawyers) contacted him with a cease & desist, but regardless the damage is/was done and these fakes are floating around. the image in the fake versions is spot on, but the posters were printed on cardboard.

    i do like the '96 Prague but can't justify spending anywhere between $1500-$2000 for the bragging rights that come with owning one ;) i spoke to Ward Sutton about the poster and he said it was, and still is, his favorite Pearl Jam poster that he's done. if Jeff considers the '96 Istanbul to be the "holy grail" then i guess i should be satisfied to have it be mine as well hehe :D

    You are correct on the santa barbara. There is probably 8 people that actually own this and no one else will.

    As for the hess, back in the day that poster use to pop up on ebay a lot. I bought that poster for $150 in 2000 and I can remember seeing it go for less a bunch of times before. This poster is one of my favorite prints and is such a dark horse among posters. It is one of my favorites but I always for get about it. I really have to frame it and get it out of the flat file.
