    Which was just a coincidence.
    Of course it was.  One helluva coincidence, which I thought made this print a little more interesting.

    It was one of two posters that I got at the 8-8 concert.  I loved it.  I've since acquired all five home show posters (including the Schuss AP that dropped the week before last), but the Faile and the Ames are my two faves.

    I just don't think it's a very good poster.  I love the DB Cooper story.  It's fascinating.  But IMO, this print is nowhere near as good as their Chicago one from 2016.  It could be that they made up a ton of prints. And it could be that people just aren't into it.

    The Ames was my favorite from the Home Shows.  Loved their idea of underwater baseball and a Poseidon/Randy Johnson love-child pitcher.  Waiting for that one to drop (didn't have time for the merch lines).  The Klausens from both Seattle and Boston are also pretty cool, but for me I think its more because I was at those shows, there was a theme, and I also have the Klausen from Chicago this is fairly similar.  I guess also I am a sucker for baseball-themed posters for shows performed in baseball stadiums.  The Faile is also cool and I dig the DB Cooper aspect of it, but I sorta hate their dog gimmick, just seems really random.

    I love that poster, too. I think it's cool as it doesn't have dates (other than the year).  It just seems like a PJ hometown poster, in general.
    Interesting that none of the Seattle posters actually say "Safeco Field".  I feel like most posters do, even if it is a corporate name.

    I think there's just been shitloads printed.
    This is what people want.. They also want to have valuable prints..... With one you can't have the other.

    Absolutely.

    Plus, opinions were very much manipulated by availability.

    First opinions of all the prints would have been genuine at the start, day before tents opened.

    Shuss RV was the frontrunner for worst poster of the decade - but market manipulation fixed that.

    Interesting, and really true.

    The dates are on the poster, they are incorporated into the LF & CF walls

    I like it. I like the variant a lot more though, much better colors.

    This was my favorite because of the Cooper connection and color scheme. I find it a very unique, cool poster.

    Personally not a big fan of the dog head gimmick.
    That is a Faile thing, see their Wrigley print.

    Well thought out poster.

    A+
    I passed on that one too. It was cool, but again don’t like the dog gimmick. Buuut I’m also one of the seemingly rare people who liked the Taylor Eagle.  :s

    Just getting to the new Better Call Saul episode and they referenced D.B. Cooper. 
    Strange how that works.

    This poster isn't getting much love and doesn't seem to be very popular.  Many of you already know and some of you don't know the legend of DB Cooper.

    I feel that this poster is incredibly cool, especially if you are aware of the legendary 1971 Portland to Seattle flight which was hijacked.  Yeah, it's old news...but it was a hot topic again here in the Pacific Northwest due to a new claim in June 2018 about the real identity of DB Cooper.  Story here:  http://www.nwnewsnetwork.org/post/we-might-have-been-looking-db-cooper-wrong-place-all-these-years

    Secondly, and quite scary, there was the airplane that was stolen the night of 8/10/2018 from the Seattle airport which flew around, was diverted by military planes, and crashed into an island not far from Safeco Field. 

    With these two factors in mind, why is this poster not legendary?  Just curious.  
    Exactly!--Thats the reason I bought the poster, & the guy stealing the plane that night fits so perfectly.
