Mystery posters in store now

I imagine, going forward, that if 10club holds another mystery tube sale, all the posters should be - gig posters and collectible!!! Who wouldn't want a Paris '96, Albuquerque '98 or a fancy '03, '06, '08 etc. Limit sales to what is valuable, & sell the DVD handbills/posters in some other way...
It really is unfair that we all pay the same amount, yet some people receive $300 posters, while others receive $10 promo sheets... Keep it simple - if there are 50 awesome posters, limit sales to 50, or raise the price, or auction them off!! That way the only complaint would be missing out, not feeling ripped off - not everyone who wanted a backpack got one...
That being said, congrats to all those that scored big, & to those who were duped, maybe it's just karma ~ best of luck in the future!!!

Actually, that is what makes it awesome. Most people know there is a good chance you will get a clunker because those are the ones lying around in the warehouse.

After reading 47 pages & 1400 posts, some people have a valid point - they didn't receive what was advertised. I pulled an '06 Klausen Euro, so I'm happy, but quite a few people didn't even get a gig poster, so my suggestion to Santos is to guarantee a solid minimum return on the price of admission - whatever that poster may be - & work up from there. That way, everyone who participates is at least satisfied, whatever the purchase cost price is or how limited the amount available. These sales are meant to be celebrations for the fans and a reward for loyalty - everyone who partakes should enjoy it, so it is up to our intrepid curator to make it so...

Now, let's see some Canadian & European mystery posters!!!

I think a lot of people assumed it would be a gig poster even though it wasn't explicitly stated. I think the 10c should offer those that received the cornice poster an opportunity for a refund or something else.

Other than that you pays your money and takes your chances. The reality of the poster market is that many of the posters have a market value that is below the selling price. In addition, those are what you are most likely to get, because, again, that is what is lying around. Piles of posters that did not sell. Powerball is a not a good analogy because a lot of people got great posters. But it is gambling, if you are not ready to blow $40 then stay away from the mystery sales.

I agree, but let me try to explain this a little more clearly - This is a Fan Club event, not Powerball.There should only be two outcomes: winners & BIG winners.

The Immagine in Cornice is a poster and not a handbill. 15'' by 24'' is a poster. It is also a Pearl Jam poster. People need to get over it or save the $37.50 for a dinner for two.


One of them is 9"x15"
A poster advertising the sale of Falla Sheep wouldn't be a PJ poster to me either.
10 club is also a business. Sometimes there are duds or errors or disappointments.
Customer service handles these in a way that benefits both parties.
I think thats what is being said.
Seems completely reasonable, not complaining.

Seriously. There have been a lot of collectable posters arriving from this mystery sale. In fact, there are WAY more than the previous mystery poster sale a few years back. With the exception of the Imagine in Cornice prints I think the 10club did an outstanding job with this sale.
