    What's driving this price...?  Expressobeans shows that the last one sold went for $2200 USD in 2023 and before that, it sold for $200.  How did this poster increase by +10x?  Is it just because it's S/N?  
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Still waiting for my PJ20 poster. It’s been MIA since 11-12. Filed a missing mail request on 11-20 and still nothing. Called my local postmaster and she said it’s probably lost and to file a claim. I reached out to Ames and we’ll see what they say. I’m so bummed.

    I had a similar experience recently, even my local postmaster saying it was lost.

    Ames was very responsive and incredibly friendly but in the end their message was to be patient and wait and that was about all they did.

    My poster eventually showed up after 6 weeks.

    Thanks for the reply. I’ll keep my hopes up, but man, I’ve been after this for years, so if it’s lost, that’s going to hurt.

    FAQs

    When is this happening?
    The sale begins Monday, December 9th around 10AMish PST, and wraps up end-of-day on December 10th. 

    Are these reprints?
    No. We have carefully maintained a stored archive of each and every poster we've ever created. 

    Are you offering all of the posters in your archive?
    No. Only posters from shows that occurred in December will be for sale. And not every poster we’ve ever designed will be available. 

    How many are available of each poster for sale?
    At least one.

    Will they be at original pricing?
    No. Pricing will be at or near market value. 

    Should I get in touch to complain or haggle on the price?
    No. Go outside and enjoy your day. So will we. 

    Are these legit?
    Heck yes! The posters are all from the original run/edition. After looking around at what's available in the market, we see a lot of fake signatures. This is a chance to buy directly from the actual artists and guarantee authenticity. 

    What kind of condition are the posters in?
    Everything available is in mint or near mint condition (unless otherwise noted). Keep in mind that even though the posters have been carefully stored away and treated with the utmost care, they are all hand crafted items. Because of this, they are often a little bit unique in and of themselves and a little different from each other. We find that to be a beautiful thing. We've worked with dozens of different printers over the years, and each has their own style, ink and paper stock. That said, we won't put anything up for sale with dog-ears, creases, marks etc... and if we do, we will make a note of it. Otherwise assume it's in M/NM condition. 

    How long will the sale last?
    The sale will last for 2 days or until the posters are all sold out. All of the posters will be made available on the 1st day of the sale around 10am.

    Will all the posters be put up for sale at the same time?
    Yes.

    Does this archive sale include t-shirts?
    No. Right now this is poster specific, but we will be releasing more older tee designs over the next few months. 

    How will the posters ship?
    All will ship fully insured in a sturdy tube via whatever premium shipping service you chose. 

    How long until my poster ships?
    Please allow 2-3 weeks before orders are processed and begin to ship. You will receive a shipping notice when your poster is packaged and ready to ship. 

    Will you offer returns?
    No, we will not. All sales are final. All shipments will be fully insured against any damage that could occur during shipping, 

    Can I cancel an order I placed by accident or that I changed my mind on?
    No. Because this is a short sales window of 2 days, if you buy it, it's yours. To ask us to cancel after isn't fair to us or other people who are interested in the poster. Please make up your mind before you buy. 

    Will you ship outside of the US and Canada? 
    No, we will only be shipping archive prints to the US and Canada at this time. 

    Can I combine multiple orders?
    No. In an effort to expedite orders and stay organized, individual orders will be shipped as such. 

    See ya Monday!

    Whoa! $3K? That's crazy. I went to the 2nd show and paid $10. I think I paid $5 for the "sponsored by no one" poster at the Spartan Stadium show in 95.
    Crazy!  I also went to night two. Have that one hanging in my office. No one tell my wife it’s selling for that. Please.

    Yep, the leftover '95 tour posters were just $5. at the Spartan Stadium show! (It was the makeup date for when Ed got sick at the Golden Gate Park show that summer). What a great concert - very bluesy - and they played even after it started getting dark (I guess no one had the key to switch on the field lights!). I remember the posters were rolled and rubberbanned and sitting vertically in big boxes. I bought a box with 10-15 posters in it and traded them all off over the years. One of my favorite concert posters ever, and I still have one! Good times...
