SEs, APs, and variants

Just curious, for folks who are lucky enough to score an AP poster for a show and if you also already have the SE, will you keep both even if the AP is just signed and numbered, but not different in any other way? 

I have a few SEs that I am thinking about selling since I have the AP and there is no other difference between them other than the signature and number. What do others do in this situation?

    I keep them both cause these days many artists usually only sell signed variants of their gig posters then signed show edition artwork. It would be cool if those artists were able to sell both signed show editions & variant editions.

    My OCD says I am a "completist" so I may have multiples of AP SE and variants but my lady friend says I am a hoarder   lol

    I’ll keep the SE if it’s a variant.

    Lol I meant I’ll keep the SE if the AP is a variant. My bad.

    I wish I could get my hands on an AP. I had no shot.

    I’m in the process of compiling everything to sell them off and only keep the ones I’ve framed. I’ve flipped through the portfolio and thought “What the F am I doing keeping all of these?!???”

    Way too much to random PJ stuff around the house

    Holy shit. That’s amazing! I have the SE and was thrilled to get that. Hope to get Dr. J to sign it one day before I frame it.

    I 100% feel you on that. While I love the mystery sales in the moment I end of keeping way too many posters from shows I didn't attend or even list to its bootleg.

    Too many PJ stuff? What’s that?

    I try and keep an AP and SE. 

    my Profolio has the AP in the front and the SE flipped so it’s the back on the backside. 

    Sadly, doesn’t look like Nashville 1 will get an AP anytime soon. 

    Still missing a few from when I didn’t know what AP’s were, which is alright. No immediate need or desire to be that completionist.

    Nashville N1 has an AP. Talk to Matt E the artist.
