Pearl Jam 1998's Best of the Best
As of lately there have been various 1998 Pearl Jam posters that have been sold via 10c, ebay, collectionzz etc. Regardless of where they were sold, traded, or exchanged for, it always raises a debate as to pricing and particularly current and future values. That being said, this post is NOT about pricing or value, it is about which are the Best of the Best. The most sought after or desired, the cream of the crop. The ones you wish you had hanging on your walls or already do.
I have compiled a list of 25 posters below for easy reference. This list DOES NOT contain all of the 98's, just the ones I notice people most commonly bringing up in threads and are ISO. These are only Show specific posters (not promos, Yield Firehouse etc). It would be interesting to try and narrow down the top 5 or 10 greatest 1998's. Feel free to add any 1998 posters that you don't see on the list and you feel are your favorites.
I know Chris (Tempo) posted a thread a while back asking people what their PJ Grail is (this was a great thread), this is similar, but only for 1998 PJ posters.
The below list is ONLY a reference and posters are listed alphabetically. Go ahead and pick your Top 3 or 5 all-time Bad Boys. There really are some awesome posters and this must be the reason we love chasing them and dropping some heavy moola to own them. Have fun and please keep it clean.

I'll throw in a vote for Raleigh 98. My first ever show. My sister went too and bought a poster, but I didn't buy one. Years later, I continued going to shows and got into collecting posters, but she kinda lost interest, but even still, wouldn't let me have that poster. One year for Christmas, she finally gave me the poster all framed up!8-31-98 - Raleigh | 8-3-00 - Virginia Beach | 4-16-03 - Charlotte | 5-27-06 - Camden 1 |

Shannon beat me to it, I love the Vancouver, only 300 were made.0 -
I know right. I didnt buy at the shows I was at, mostly because I didn't want to get something and have it get ruined. Then my mind drifted and I never imagined the scarcity and price these would fetch.cp3iverson said:Took this pic this morning Man if i could go back and just send that money order....
His eminence has yet to show.

My number 1 probably wouldn't make the cut for most, but for my style it is a near perfect design. Ames nailed it on the Yield Tour IMO, top 7 because 5 isn't enough...1. Noblesville2. East Rutherford / NYC3. Vancouver4. Dallas5. Adelaide6. Raleigh7. Hartford
