    Why do people want this?

    The Harry carry wrigley isn't a great poster either.

    I just don't understand sometimes...

    I've got two AP pj posters with print runs under 40 but no one really cares about them. The "city sleeps" Pendleton has a broke and fixed version and not more than 40 of either have seen the light of day.

    I love this poster but it doesn't get much love.

    Oh well....

    Here is the MOST wanted poster(more like a large postcard) in all of PJ land. My goal is to someday get this signed by the band.

    "Wanted" is all subjective. In terms of what it would cost to acquire, it is a 3-horse race, in no particular order:

    1992 Kozik Green Lady
    2000 Blackie
    2006 Santa Barbara EMEK

    the most expensive poster is the Kozik Green Lady. The most wanted, in my opinion, would be Kong or Pitt 13

    Why does everyone like the Pitt 13 so much? Is it just the graphic?

    Yes. And pictures do not do it justice.

    Kozik High Bear- granted not solely a PJ poster, but its the true definition of a classic.
    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.

    I've always thought Sperry's Sao Paulo 2011 is one of the most underrated prints, and a great value. This is a kickass print and must be seen in person. A band autographed one sold for $3400 in March of this year, blew my mind when I saw the sale price.

    I think it just depends on what you personally value more. For instance, if I stood in line for a while at a show, and got a poster for the show I was at, and the poster was a monitory dud, I'd still never sell it, because I was at that show.

    If you weren't at either of the shows, it all depends. If you like Kong more, and the Kong owner likes Fenway more, then yes. :)

    Ha! I was at both and didn't get the Kong. Love the Thomas but that Kong is special.

    It's insane how much the prices go up on these! Sorry that you missed the Kong poster. I'd post for the trade. The value of the Thomas poster will most likely decrease in the next month, so post em while they are hot!

    On August 16th a Thomas sold for 142 and another for 135. Most Kong's are over 500 now. I'd say it's a pretty big push.
