First of all, I'm a bit disappointed that no one here (including myself) knew about the Pearl Jam poster scene and that it would be advantageous to snag one at the show if possible. For those of you who still don't know, Pearl Jam commissions a unique poster for each one of their shows and they are printed in limited runs of about 1000, some are even signed and numbered in even fewer numbers by the artist. In the PJ scene, they are fairly collectible and actually look pretty damn cool.
Well, the U2/Pearl Jam show was no exception and an artist, Brad Klausen, created a special poster just for the 12/9 show. The poster was also special because the company that printed it used a color process that used a few more colors than normal so it was supposedly more expensive to make. At the show I think they were selling for $35. As many have read on the forum here, these were an instant sell out and quickly appeared on eBay selling for 5x, 10x, 15x their original value. If someone bought 3-5 of these posters at the show for $150, they could have easily recovered most, if not all, travel expenses and had a realllly cheap trip to Hawaii.
So did anyone snag one of these at the show? Did anyone get one on eBay? I think these will be a decent investment due to the limited numbers and significance of the show.
Considering the visual artistry that goes into your average U2 show/video, I think it'd be pretty cool to have a poster for each U2 gig next tour. Whaddya think?
