Of the posters I own:
1. 2000 Chicago
Love the poster and the mystery behind the poster. Looks like some of the questions surrounding this poster have been answered recently.
2. Wrigley Ames "variant"
Was at the show and love the colors in this poster. Looks awesome in person.
3. PJ 20 Billboard
Was at the show, and glad I was. Unbelievable weekend I spent with my 2 brothers. Love this poster.
4. Kong
Was at the show, and probably the best show I've ever seen.
5. Tie between Atlanta 2000, Pitt 2000, and Pitt 2013. All very nice.
Many posters out there that I would love to have and could easily move into my top 5. Santa Barbara for sure!0 -

Off the top of my head & in no order:
Posters I have:
-1994 Cleveland - 1st show, I really like Derek Hess' work including this one!
-2013 Pittsburgh - 8th show, beautiful poster with a lot of "pop", very relevant to the city!
-2013 Wrigley (Cracker Jack) - 7th show, we all know why, classic poster!
-2013 Wrigley Mural - 7th show, a very cool collaboration poster that has that great baseball/concert theme. Just like the PJ20 Billboard, it was very cool watching this one come together in person! It was very cool briefly talking to Munk One during the process too!
2011 E. Troy PJ20 (Billboard) - 5th & 6th shows, the colors & design are cool but being there & seeing it come together on the actual billboards was awesome!
2010 Cleveland - 4th show, very cool poster & the colors & look of the poster are 100x better in person. The design is very cool as the Sunday show was on Mother's Day.
2014 Moline - 12th show, this poster sums up an autum day (my favorite time of year), PJ show, & Moline, the location of the John Deere HQ perfectly.
2013 Buffalo - 9th show, very cool poster with a lot of detail & subtle PJ tie ins & references. I really like the brown paper & how the colors of the poster work together. Poster is very relavent to the city (as was the poster the previous night in Pitt). I think this one is very underrated in our PJ community.
Posters I have for shows I didn't attend:
2009 SLC - "Red Mosquito" (white paper) - great looking poster with great colors. I really like how it is themed to the song which is one of my favorites off of one of my favorite albums. It's extra cool that the songs first live appearance was in SLC back in 1995!
1998 Cork - Classic Ames Bros poster that is 100% Irish themed for the Ireland shows!
2010 Dublin - very cool BK poster with great color perfect for an Ireland show.
2010 MSG - Kong, NYC taxis & lady liberty, & Galaga. Great looking poster!
2010 Hartford - Justin Hampton does a great job paying homage to Norman Rockwell with this one! On a side note, I have his poster from the 3rd poster convention that is the image the boys are pasting on the fence in the Hartford poster. The colors are amazing on that one!
Not a concert poster but...
- 2012 3rd annual poster convention by Justin Hampton. (Mentioned above ^)
- 2006 Honolulu CCFA by Dumbgun. Very cool looking poster perfect for a Hawaii event.
2015 "McMelty" & "The Voice" by Brian Methe. Great artistic work & great looking posters. These & others can be found at bmethe on etsy.com
Posters I don't have but want someday:
- 2011 PJ20 2nd annual poster convention by Mark 5. The eagle playing card. Just a great looking bad ass poster I would really like to have up on my wall!
- 1998 DTE by Todd McFarlane. A very cool looking print that I wish I would have got years ago.

Bravo to you all for having the discipline and patience to go through your collections and narrow it down to a list of top 5. At the height of my collection I had 250+ posters, and despite trimming that down significantly I couldn't choose 5 specific ones that stood out to me. That's the beauty of it - the artwork is subjective but regardless it's so easy to get lost in the image field for hours.To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."
