I give up.

I have no issue with this process, I'm just sad that I am absolutely fucking terrible at it.

That's no problem to disagree. And I personally don't see any problem with people flipping the posters either, especially seeing that the way that they are initially sold intentionally feeds and encourages the demand that creates flippers. Doesn't mean that I like it, I just see no difference in buying a $35 poster as trade bait for one that's being sold for $500, and buying a $35 poster to sell it for $500 cash. It's the same thing, that's why I equate 14 with being a flipper. And again, I don't think being a flipper is bad. Flippers are willing to spend the time it takes to wait in lines or stalk message boards for hours, days, and weeks on end to get what they need. Other folks just aren't willing to go to that trouble, and that's ok. Because of flippers, those who aren't willing to put in the time can get what they want any time they want, but that convenience has a price that the flipper collects.

but are there people out there really going to that extreme ? stalking message boards for mutliple artist posters ?

I kind of thought this was just a pearl jam issue, i didn't know many other bands that are having as much demand for

posters in general. I just don't see who has time for all that ?

Seems like a good time to list the order of people who are entitled to poster drops (with a presumption that the purchaser actually likes Pearl Jam):
1. People who were at the show who didn't get the poster
2. People who were at the show who got a poster but lost it during the show
3. People who were at the show, got a poster, but failed to get one for their son/daughter who was at the show too
4. People who were not at the show but stood outside and could hear the bass/drums pretty clearly
5. People who live in/have lived in the city in which the show occurred
6. People who live in/have lived in the general area in which the show occcured
7. People who live in/have lived in the country in which the show occurred
8. People who like the poster as a piece of art
9. People who like the poster as rock memorabilia
10. People who like the artist
11. People who are "completists" (aka poster hoarders) who are trying to get all the posters of a particular city/country/tour/etc.
12. Crazy people (most of the purchasers...I think)
13. People who are divorced or soon to get divorced based on their purchasing of posters
14. People who are collecting with the aim to trade the poster(s) for another one of their liking
15. People who are collecting as an investment toward their child's college fund
16-1,000,000: Any other idea that you can come up with besides flipping the poster
1,000.001: Still not flippers......

Very interesting and well thought out. I’m not being a smart ass. But curious. Which number(s) represent you, specific to Krakow?

#1, 12, 13

helplessdancer · September 2018

#12

tubes10s · September 2018

I'm a 10 when it's Klausen, plenty of 12, and a touch of 14.

drakeheuer14 · September 2018

I am a proud #14. If trading is how I can get older posters I missed, then without a doubt I will

deftones · September 2018

Amazing show, ugly poster, still had to get it. Thanks!

Kinda made me chuckle.

Everyone has a different perspective and I certainly allow room for most.

I it were a serious reason, my opinion is the #2 not more entitled than anyone else, even a flipper. Already got 1.

I laughed at the majority of them and I am a solid #1, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, and #14 at times.

For this particular poster I am #16 - purchased for a fund raiser on behalf of someone who went to the show, stood in the line, and was denied. She intended to donate to this particular fund raiser all along.

Good intentions and outcome here....but I have done the other #s plenty of times that may cause people heartburn.

Many comments on the Krakow poster and people thinking it’s ugly, or that it’s a chicken, ect...

if anyone took the tour if the Wawel Castle in Krakow, you learned the legend of the dragon that lived in the cave underneath the castle. There are fire burns and scorched walls in the cave (likely from cavemen, not a dragon) which fed the legend.
This image on the poster is the Polish Eagle (check the flag) morphing into the dragon, into a snake. (or the other way around).
if anyone has any ideas on the meaning of the snake, please let us know!

Very cool.

I got a snake, man!!! One time I feed it some beer man..

HAHA it was slithering this way and that...

um....what does status "Released" mean on order page....that doesn't sound promising....

PENDING,RELEASED,WAREHOUSE,SHIPPED ARE THE 4 STAGES AT THE ODRER HISTORY PAGE.,U ARE GOOD

To be clear, Shipped dosent mean it actually has shipped. Usually hangs around for a week in the warehouse to be collected by the mail man.

shipped means shipped,,u can see the tracking at ups

I always love to see how fast these 10c drops end up on eBay.

I wonder what percentage sold on today's drop ended up on ebay

RS65573 · September 2018

I see about 8 on the bay...who knows how many sold on the site, I'd guess 200ish...

In order, the numbers that represent me are:
12, 9, 8, 13....and maybe 15--depending on what college accepts my kids and if any scholarships come through

Cool, my order is 12, 8, 9, 13 + my write-in answer which is: that I’m Polish-American, with a Polish crest tattoo, I’ve visited Krakow in the past and I love the city, and I plan to eat at least 20 pierogi and drink multiple Zywiec beers at the annual Polish Festival in my town this weekend.

I want to go to a Polish festival.......and drink beer and eat pierogi.....this weekend....or tonight.....

Go see a show at Warsaw in Brooklyn. They have beer, pierogis and music.

I'll be seeing Thee Oh Sees there next month!

Usually only about 100 make it to 10c site.

I’d think this number must vary from poster to poster.

There’s gotta be more than 100 Emek Seattle prints at 10c for them to still be in stock all these days later. Just my guess.

lotsalemon · September 2018

Yeah about that EMEK....it's awesome....no idea how it's still up. They can't have THAT many leftover.

I think Europe was normal quantities we are used to, thus they sell out fast if good.
I think home shows was quite a bit more. We shall see how fast the away posters go to know if they follow the Europe, or home shows..
