    Finding mint ones can be hard.  This was before the poster craze started.   I think the amount made was pretty small (300ish per show for most shows).  They weren't collectible yet, so people were pinning them on walls, drymounting them etc.  I suppose there's a reason why mint ones can go for a couple grand, and even at that, they can be next to impossible to find :(

    I suppose.  98's are in rare supply, of limited number, and so many are damaged because they weren't considered collectible at the time.  Many of the '98s for a mint condition can go for $1500 to $2000.  If you've been waiting years to see a poster pop up on ebay, and there's little to no options, I can see why people would pay that much for damaged or dry mounted copy :(

    I thought it was bad when I paid $400 USD for a Seattle '98 and $210 USD for a Vancouver '98 to round out the '98 shows I saw (I bought the Missoula '98 at the show).  I had no idea how much crazier it would get with time.

    I suppose if you give it 20 to 30 more years when many of us have to start downsizing, there will be fire sales :)

    Good point! Nice work snagging some of those '98s early on. 

    Not sure I can wait 20-30 more years haha, but you're probably right.
