    If anything funky from the November 2013 Glendale, AZ show comes up I wanted to thank everybody ahead of time for not buying it so that I could have right of first refusal.

    That's very thoughtful of you all and I'll be sure to give you all the green light to go ahead and consider purchasing them after I've given it enough thought to make a sound decision.

    Those Mexico City variants are pretty pricey.  Curious to see if anyone goes for them.  Zurich went in less than 20 seconds.  $2400 if anyone was wondering.  Berlin was $2200.

    Are posters like Zurich and Berlin that expensive just due to rarity? Or is there more to the story?

    I've always loved that Zurich Print. Just cool! I had it in my cart and balked, couldn't pull the trigger. And it would've been dumb if I did. Simply because I don''t have that cash just hanging out.
    98: St. Louis. 2000: Alpine. 2003: Chicago. 2006: Chicago Night 2, Milwaukee Night 1. 2007: Chicago (Lolla). 2009: Chicago 1 & 2. 2011: Alpine 1 & 2. 2013: Chicago & LA Night 1. 2016: Chicago 1 & 2. 2018: Chicago 1 & 2.

    Rarity - age - old school silkscreens.  Also the fact that many folks didn't think twice about tacking them up on the wall, gluing them to foam board etc.  So there are few that are in top condition.  There might be 300-400 total of those prints where as today there are in the thousands not to mention AP's and stuff.

    The Zurich is really cool in person.  I was lucky and bought Zurich and Missoula 98 direct from the Ames bros back when Flatstock was in the center house at Seattle center.  Back before posters were a big deal.  I paid $100 each.  Chatted with them for quite a while and was the only customer aside from my friend.  Really glad I didn't spill any beer on them when we were out front enjoying a pint afterwards.

    I disagree, some of these are much better works IMO.
