    Apparently this could double for being in the 'Unpopular Opinions' thread, but I am all in on this.  You could put big black REPRINT letters across the back for all I care.

    There are some 2003 gems out there too.  This one is a personal favorite of mine.  Many more awesome prints that tour too!

    reprinting posters is a bad idea, in my opinion

    I think they should leave the posters as they are, but I would straight kill for the monkey man 98 shirt again. Literally the only shirt I've ever worn until it was in tatters. Loved that shirt.

    Any reprint would lower the value of the originals

    Would be awesome. I say devalue the whole fucking market and bring these to folks who are priced out due to "collectors" valuations.

    I tend to agree with this, if you told anyone else that pearl jam posters go for $500+ they would laugh at you and wonder who is paying that much!

    Didn't you sell a Benny for market value?

    Maybe Topps will re-print the 1952 set so I can get a Mickey Mantle rookie card too. I’ve always wanted one of those. Brilliant.

    I'm with you here.  I don't see what the big deal is.  Don't see how it's much different than re-issuing albums on vinyl...the originals will sill carry more value.

    Oh brother. I was kidding in my post. I can’t believe they did that. For the record, I’m not a fan of re-prints. And I’m definitely not a fan of trying to de-value the market. I don’t own any 98’s but I’m sure a lot of people have purchased them at high prices because they didn’t get one 20 years ago at the show. It seems ridiculous to intentionally de-value the prints so all of those people lose their ass on what they bought. Not a fan.

    It hasn't devalued the Mantle.  That is one card that is Iconic and EVERYONE wants one now.

    Printing more posters just seems like a bad idea.  When would it stop?  They could make a third and a fourth printing if really wanted...

    Not my bag.  I don't buy reprint cards either...

     I guess I just have a more simplistic view of it....highly sought after items that plenty of people would love to buy.  Didn't hear many complaints about them re-issuing a bunch of albums on vinyl.

    are these still in demand? I've got about 12 of these stored somewhere.
