    Damn! That Ames Melbourne poster from 2003 is the only poster I am missing from the shows I attended.  Reading the terms it looks like it can only shipped to US residents?

    Those posters are some heavy hitters! 

    Although it’s a little misleading to label those 2XL posters as originals and use the year the original show happened.  They were made years after the event and they’re not originals.  They’re authorized reproductions of the originals.

    When I look through the posters, under "provenance" it says "The Living archive of the Ames Bros".  Does that mean they came directly from Ames or maybe a private collector that has a bunch of posters?  There are quite a few that I would love to have here......I need to buy a lottery ticket!
    I've never purchased posters from an art auction site.  Do they charge a buyers premium?  That could make a big difference if the poster sells for $1000-2000 or more.

    Just answered my own question.  Buyers premium is 27% + an online service fee.  So most likely 30% over final sale price which to me is insane.

    My girlfriend and have gotten posters of all the shows we have attended together, and I thought it would be nice to try and find the poster for her first PJ show, which was in South Dakota in 1998. Now I see that this must be a pretty rare poster. Over $1000! In this case I think I'm gonna have to let the thought count, because sadly that's out of my price range. lol

    Love me some Fastbacks too! What a cool show that would've been. Their newest album is pretty fun!

    Has anyone requested a condition report and received it?  I’ve tried via phone and two separate emails and not received anything in response.

    I did receive an email response back today.  
    It may take 2 business days to get a reply, in case anyone else is asking.

    It is incredible.  

    But it’s also not from 2010. And… in the listing it says it’s the poster from the May 20 and May 21 shows.  Pretty sloppy and misleading as well.

    Ah yes, its slightly misleading but I guess the graphic is for those shows. It could be clearer that its a reprint from around the time of the home shows and the pop up they did there but I sense anyone in for that print will know what they are bidding on

    I wouldn't have. I'm not in the market for this print, so there is that. But given the type of auction this is and the title of the thread here, I'd have just assumed it was legit. Now, that Chi 98 poster.....I can't stop looking at it!

    This is one that people clamored for when it first came out.  The interest waned as these things were big and bulky and an obvious reprint.  Price tag was pretty hefty for it too.

    I just sense the 2XL sizing differentiates it from the original - so to a person who was keen to acquire one - they would likely be aware of this 'variant'. I dont think there is any intent to deceive here, its just badly worded - because the poster is still an original from the "XL run, and poster art is the one from the 2010 show. It could just have been made much clearer
