Check eBay. That’s easily the highest priced poster of the whole tour. 

I'm not saying it's not a really nice poster, I'm saying that Ames bros have been overproducing and really diluting the market.  I feel like the Munk One MSG poster, for example, probably started out with a much lower production run that carried over to 10C availability.  

I know 10C gets an allotment, but if the production co. overproduces, there's a bigger allotment. It may still sell out, but I'd be curious to try the "data-quantity" trick at the start of the sale to see just how many they start out with.   

And to everyone's point about popularity - remember how much the Chicago Ames were going for last year?  Now search them up - they were so overproduced that the market has really taken a dive on them since they went on sale. Yeah, some may sell for $80-100 on ebay, but after ebay takes its cut the sellers are barely breaking even.

The artist doesn't determine how many show copies are made.  That's up to Tsurt and the band.  The number of posters from venue to venue is probably pretty consistent other than for ballpark shows which would get more.  Ames posters are not produced more than other artists.

The reason the Ames 2023 Chicago poster likely dropped was because there were 3 posters made for an arena show which is very unusual.  So anyone who didn't want to pay up for the Ames had two other cheaper options which hurt the market.  A better comparison is the Ames 2022 Camden poster.  It started out hot and has not really dropped too much.  Most ebay listings are over $200.

I think this is a relatively new thing and specific to Ames. I don't think the number of Seattle He-Man posters was at all reflective of typical, certainly not even posters for the same venue. They were selling them by the bushel full Wednesday and Thursday nights, they never ran out and there are still >400 on the PJ site.  

Contrast that with the UFO poster, which I didn't even have the chance to see in person.  

E: Philly may be different, I wasn't there so don't know whether they sold out or not, but for the Seattle show they were printing that poster like the Fed prints money.

The Seattle show was another show with multiple posters.  That dilutes the market.   

The Philly poster sold out very early.   And it will likely be the fastest sellout in the shop this tour. 

Even so, the shear number of those posters flying off the tables and left remaining at the end of the show, and the number still up in the 10C store...maybe it's an anomaly and if you saw the Philly show sell out early, then I can be persuaded, but for that particular Seattle poster - there were a heck of a lot more of them than either of the other posters, especially the UFO poster. 

I remember reading the same about the Chicago posters - people saying it seemed like they were printing them in the back of the trucks because there appeared to be a never-ending supply.

There aren't any of the Ames Chicago in the shop.  It sold out.  The Ames Philly sold out at least an hour and a half before the show started.

Same goes for Fenway...multiple stands had stacks still available by the end of the show.  I didn't see any of the five pulled down from the displays at the end of the show like I do every other show.  

Also on the Philly print -- I think these were mis-distributed.  I was one of the first people at one of the booths and they didn't have any stack whatsoever.  Said they sold out outside before doors even opened.  I know that they only make a very limited few available outside before shows, but seems like they mistakenly made too many available.  Plus if you look at a lot of the postings on eBay, the hero images taken are of people holding the poster outside the venue.
