Looking for trading advice.

Here's the scenario. I was lucky enough to score two, yes two, Pearl Jam Copenhagen 2012 McFarlane/Maxx242-Artist Edition's. I apologize and am sorry to those who were not successful in obtaining one. My issue since I'm relatively new to buying and trading is what would be considered fair trade for one of these prints? I'm looking to trade for either a
Pearl Jam Vancouver 98 Ames http://expressobeans.com/public/wanted.php?id=426274
or a
Pearl Jam Montreal / Toronto 98 Ames http://expressobeans.com/public/wanted.php?id=426273
to add to my collection.

The questions are:
1) Is it a fair trade a Pearl Jam Copenhagen 12 Maxx242/McFarlane for either a Pearl Jam Vancouver 98 Ames or a Pearl Jam Montreal / Toronto 98 Ames?
2) Am I asking for too much?
3) Is anybody interested in making this deal?

    To be honest, I think the McFarlane is WAY better than both of those posters combined.

    Kinda sucks that you grabbed two of these posters for yourself when so many people could not even score one of these prints.

    Even the title of this thread is "trading advice".

    Couldn't agree more. Yeah it sucks for people who didn't get one. Yeah he's asking to trade for 2 crazy pricey posters, but that's his prerogative. He can ask for the fuckin' crown jewels if he wants. If it's an outrageous trade no one will make it. End of story
    People need to chill

    If someone is willing to make this insane trade, go for it!
    I ♥ the two posters the OP is looking for, but would get rid of that McFarcelane print for just about anything.

    Good luck to you, CButt2!

    Want to thank everyone for their replies so far. Very useful comments. Need to clarify that it's only a SUGGESTED trade for one of the 98 prints. One McFarlane/Maxx242 for one of the stated 98 prints. Hence the solicitation of advice about it being a fair trade. Again thanks for your replies.

    Well, you're getting flammed.

    My thought/advice: Either of the posters you're asking for have a higher value than the McFarlane. They are 14 years old and spread thin, at this point. The McFarlane is 1 week old and currently the hot ticket. Yes, it will be worth about 200-300 bucks, but I don't think you'll find someone willing to part with the 98's for anything other than cash, or another poster of similar age.

    Your best bet is to sell and offer cash, or bundle the poster with cash, to obtain your wanted poster.

    ave no idea why these posters are worth so much. I know the whole 300 run but these posters are crap. Pluss isnt there like 100 ap's out there of each depending on if they did a 2nd AP run.

    Im am no fan of the Ames art. Maybe thats why I cant see the value in a picture of a tracktor with the same old Ames wrighting.

    Too be honest, I don't think anyone knows the actual number of prints (98's) out there. Ames did a s/n run of each, which the numbers varied there too. But no AP2's. Most people who bought the posters at the show, treated them as such. They tacked them to the wall. They didn't bring poster tubes with them to the shows. They didn't handle them carefully when they were in the pit. So, they have become harder to find in decent condition. I'm not a fan of the Montreal poster, but I do like the Vancouver. I owned the Vancouver print and it is small, but the detail is pretty great.

    Yep, there were a couple 97's, 98's that I blue-glued to the walls. One of them being the Oakland 97.

    IMO, the 96's/98's are the best.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Alright, these last few are the comments I was looking for all excellent thoughts. I need to reevaluate the worth of the print and lower expectations to something more realistic.

    it's not a fair trade as of now because it's likely the 10c will sell the copenhagen poster

    the macfarlane is not the same as the PJ20 maxx billboard print... people are confused
