    Can someone please post pictures of the other variant posters besides the hockey mask? My friend swears a guy in front of him got poster with skull head instead of a cowboy head.

    I like the Ames concept of variants. Mostly it's a change of medium or color, but Ames takes it a step further by slightly changing the art - this set and the Queen set. Pretty cool. The price is a bit ridiculous for the quantity of variants and the run of each. The art is also subjective and may not be everyone's taste, but the different variants are cool.

    Variants are gimmicks and people are falling for it. Money grabs. The people buying the Wrigley Ames variant paid a lot for an average poster with a different color. Very laughable.

    The Calgary though at least has a different design.

    MunkOne's pittsburgh poster was amazing with the show edition. He didn't need to create rare variants to make some cash and drive up traffic to the website because people pay a lot for rarity and not quality.

    I agree that just different colours is a rip off if people are paying more for them... but the Calgary variants are definitely better than that.... Worth $200?? NO!!

    I think sometimes the colors are better on the variants though. Like the Wrigley Variant better. Also like the NOLA variant from this year better.

    $200 was just too steep for me today. Glad I didn't attend the show. Made my decision easy :)
