    I did a 300 dollar frame job on the Miami Sperry - that stung a bit. :)

    You should actually wrap the poster around the frame to protect it since the frame is more valuable.

    Paid $80 at the merch booth for an EV signed 2012 El Paso poster. Ugly piece by Kozik, but lucky to have a signed poster from my hometown show!

    I picked up the two from Orlando signed by Ed that year and they charged $125 each, if I remember correctly.
    I got one of the signed Memphis posters.. they were $100 each. For the first 10 people in line.
    Same deal, First 10 people in line.
    The 10 of us waited for 9-10h outside the bob Carr for these posters. We even had a pizza or two delivered when we got hungry lol.
    Meet some great people. Good times!

    My wife and I waited in line...didn't wait that long, but did meet some nice people in line. Just did some quick research, they were actually $150 for the first 10 in line.
    were they signed by the band or artist?
    It was Eddies solo tour. 10 posters signed by ed, not numberd just signed. The money was donated to a charity. Don't remember which charity it was.
    I got the impression that the El Paso show was the first stop on the tour with signed posters, so I guess we lucked out with the $80 price tag. Nobody saw it coming either, so nobody was lined up for 'em. Pretty sure the funds went to Heal EB.

    i've never bought a poster unless i was at the show. i missing a few (hartford 2006, 2008, 2013) but i won't pay a ton for them. on the other hand i did pay $250/ticket to see TOTD in philly and earlier this year i saw PJ20 on color vinyl in a record store for $400. i'd never really seen it much under $1000 at the time so i said 'f it' and went for it. i collect a lot of vinyl and usually on the expensive side. but this was the most i've paid for a record by about $100. ha!

    I still don't understand how some posters are worth a lot and others are not. An artist signed Salt Lake City 2009 poster (on white paper) sold for $45 on Ebay recently. This poster is a top 10 poster post 2003 and it goes for $45. People want to debate whether the New Orleans 2016 (or insert any number of recent posters) poster is good or not, and we got one of the all-time greats selling for less than cost. Crazy.

    Supply and demand.

    The red mosquito poster you speak of is one of the best ever. The 10C released a bunch more of the prints which flooded the market making it relatively easy to purchase. I actually don't like the fact that poster was devalued.

    Salt Lake City might also be a population not so poster savvy. There are places that aren't as eager to purchase PJ items (Vancouver is one as well... at least I think... I've never had a problem getting a poster there... wolf boy... skull truck... eesh).

    Yeah, the poster was red hot initially but then people learned that it was printed on black paper and the design was tough to see. But the ones released on white paper are under 200 printed so if you can get your hands on than do it.

    If it said NYC or Boston on it and it was printed on white paper from the start than it would be a $600 poster no question.

    I won the lotto to buy it. I suspect it was because Banksy loves my politics.
