    Yeah, I have seen that Charlotte poster before. So for approximately $10,000 I could invest in Charlotte, Green Lady, and for an additional $2700 I could get Kong. 

    If I did that? Then yes, the wife would divorce me. 

    Cheaper than a boat LOL. Kong is overrated IMHO.
    My favorite of all the posters would have to be the Wrigley Cracker Jack. 

    I happen to love the Elvis 2003 Japan tour poster in banana yellow. I won't sell that one.

    What are the 4 "most sought after" pearl jam posters? What are considered the top 4 holy grail posters?
    Holy grails? Probably everyone has their own. Some of mine:

    1991 Texas Kozik, with Chili Peppers and Pumpkins - I prefer this one to the green/pink Lady poster by Kozik (and it's much rarer)
    1994 Cleveland Derek Hess - the stage diving image sums up the concert vibe of the early 90s
    1996 Charlotte Emek - combination of iconic image and superb artist
    1998 Chicago Ames - I like that a lot. Still don't have it.
    1998 Firehouse Virgin Megastore Yield Promo - there are only few die cut posters for Pearl Jam, first class printing
    ...
    My favorite is the Ames Cincinnati 2003. I finally got it last year at one of their archives sale.

    All of us adults looking at Kong this morning like:

    :lol:

    You know, I wasn't a poster guy in 2010 and Kong was the first one that had me doing this at the show. What a mistake not grabbing it that night?

    Ames Bros are awesomely fast. My Penn State AP is already in the mail. Didn't get one at what was the longest rockin PJ show I saw.

    I have a Kong -  framed. 
    Was fortunate it enough to snag it outside of MSG the day of.

    I can’t lie… if I was offered $3k - it would be hard to walk away from that. 

    $3k??!  🥜

    Scored a SE on a sweet trade here a ways back otherwise would never own one.
    At the show I didn't even really know about posters. Saw one dude walking around with a tube.
    Framed up and admired at least twice a day.

    Got an artist signed Penn St 03 at the sale in Seattle last year for 150 I think.  They are selling for 325 now.  Completely forgot I prob have about 2500 coming back to me from TM tickets.  Totally could have bought that Kong.  Wouldn’t be buying from an investment standpoint, just really like the poster.  Have an arcade cabinet that I built and this would be perfect right next to it.  Actually wish I had bought the 2xl version last year.  Want to say it was “only” 2k.
