Is is safe to say Kong is the best/most desirable poster ever

The number in member's collections on EB usually give a good idea of how many are out there (typically 2-3x more than the # in people's collections for regular show prints, about 1.5-2x for A/Ps, variants, etc.). Last time I was able to access EB, which seems like months ago, there were only 10 in collections hence my estimate of 20-30. EMEK probably has 10 or less.tempo_n_groove said:

If there are, EMEK must have them all. Kongs and Wrigleys come up for sale all the time - these don't.tempo_n_groove said:

He didn't sell it for that much, lol.Brane_of_JFK said:
Yea, for $2-3k. If he had 200+, I doubt he'd be charging that much. I'd say there's 20-30 total out there not torn up, aside for the H/C and uncut editions.tempo_n_groove said:

I know of about 20 out there. People don't want to come forward with this print for some reason.
Still very rare. You don't see the Unnatural Resources print that was done 3 years earlier anymore either.

I don't see the draw of the print other than EMEK and being rare. The artwork doesn't do much for me.tempo_n_groove said:

Agreed. For instance, the poster EMEK just did for Philly is an instant classic but since it's so new it won't get the critcs lovebootlegger10 said:

Very true, I'd also add the BIOWORKZ MSG 1, it will be sought after down the road as well, and not getting the love it deserves, at this time. The Miami Sperry will be a real "hot" one because of the PJ fans and all the Sperry collectors out there.sak300zx said:

I get that art is subjective and all but to me, that Philly poster is a total fail. Don't like it on any level.sak300zx said:

I think the Ames & Klausen show posters beat the billboard any day. I mean, what a weird fucking poster! An octopus, a green bear with antlers? Honestly, if it weren't so rare, would it be THAT popular? I don't think so.SVRDhand13 said:

That PJ20 is more street art than symbolic art.
I dont get what meaning it could possibly have. It does absolutely nothing for me.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.0 -
Too cool!sak300zx said:Personally I'm not a big fan of the doom and gloom subject matter like the skulls etc. I understand their place though as this is a rock band's posters. I like the cartoonish stuff because I wanna be able to hang it anywhere. Like this great piece which I have:
Oh please let it rain today.

A little of my work in progress poster theory:
In a space where everyone will have different tastes with regard to style and coloring, Kong has a lot going for it: Recognizable subject matter that everyone can relate to, nice colouring, old enough to have been unavailable for quite a while, New York show at MSG - these things all keep it pretty top of mind. You don't even have to be a Pearl Jam fan or know anything about the world of poster collecting to say "wow, that's nice". (Many fans may not like the style, but what I'm saying is, even my dad could pick it out of a crowd as a well done, memorable poster).
In short, it's the kind of poster that even if you weren't there, might be desirable and even get hung. Perhaps more universally appealing than say Greenville or Charlotte that will have it's fans beyond those that were in attendance but have trouble breaking through to that next level of wider audiences.
Transformers has a bit of that going for it for sure, as well. Not sure if the availability of variants for that one will cause it to be more or less valuable over time (they are more limited yes but they also mean that hundreds more made it into the market than a non-variant enabled print).0 -
I know others shared but Pink Lady x100 for me. One day I will have one on my wall.The love he receives is the love that is saved0

I like it because it was made throughout the fest on the billboard. So the image brings back great memories.2-feign-reluctance said:

I get that. I have a a regular AP and I love it. But I can see how people got fed up. I personally think they should have cancelled all the excess orders and let the gold print stay limited as intended.buck502000 said:It soured me with Ames in general

I trust it was a mistake..... it looked shady with the "handful" but they offered refunds. Every time I've had an issue of any sorts they've been great so I'm giving them the benifit of the doubt. Anyone should get it once.......0
