I can't afford my Holy Grail.

    I find the best thing to do is not justify.  Just do.
    I'd rather deal with regret buying than regret of missing out.

    Open up a new credit card and pay it off over 12 months.

    That can be a very dangerous road to take. I would recommend against doing that.

    Right on, but if you make all your payments on time your credit score will go up ;)

    If you have to open up a line of credit to get a rock poster something is definitely wrong. Seriously. Credit cards are the worst. I first got one at 18 and thought I was cool. I bought all those things I "NEEDED". Ended up following a long road of dumb debt and not saving my money. It took me many years to pay off about 25,000 in CC debt. Now, I have zero balances and always will unless I have a medical emergency and my savings doesn't cover it. If you're hesitating, you really don't need it.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.

    I agree and did the same when younger.
    Also, I don't think these are going to be worth what they are selling for.
  • Agreed that they won't be worth what they are selling for. Also, I shudder to think what these 2XL prints would cost to frame.

    Correct.  A lot of the cards offer deals like 12 months no interest for your first purchase.  Buy the print with the card and then chop it up. Pay $9 a week for a year and problem solved.

    Reminds me of the time I signed up for a credit card at the local AHL game 20 years ago. I did it since they were throwing in a t-shirt. What a deal I thought lol.

    I said it in the other thread but since these are 2xl it needs to be said twice:

    these 2xl posters are fucking ridiculous.

    I admit, they do look a little strange. I saw a photo of one framed on a wall, surrounded by normal sized posters, and it looked fucking weird, lol.

    First time?! How many times did you meet him? My wife was pretty jealous when I told her. 

    Also OP you have to factor in those custom fees as well. Brutal!
