    Great collection. I wish I bought more of the 96 and 98 posters than I did when they were sold through the newsletter. But I was a poor college kid then.

    98 was a very pure time because obviously it wasn't big business then. And it coincided with the merch/posters being amazing.  Every merch line i was in that summer took five minutes.

    You dont remember Seattle Batman? Back in the day he was probably the first of the flippers. Everybody knew him because he'd be the guy buying dozens of posters at each show. He sold hundreds of items on Ebay. Pretty sure he got banned from here.

    I can't speak of the issues you have with Shon, but he's a gentleman, true fan, and a friend of mine.

    I don't have a problem with the guy... don't know him, I'm sure he is a nice guy, and is clearly a fan (sure hope so with that collection lol)... but I have read some interesting stories over the years lol

    With that being said... I'm not a big fan of this odd, and growing trend of fetishist pearl jam merch collecting that has seemed to become more important than the music in some circles... which in some ways is making Pearl Jam look more like a merch company than an actual band that still creates music... let's be honest, there seems to be more energy and creativeness being put into the merch than is being put into new music the last decade... which is sad

    Anybody have a Gorge 2005 print they want to get rid of? Lol

    Honestly don't recall that.  I remember that Ninersfan guy though.
