The "In Search Of" Thread

[e_wind]

I cruise the internet on several sites daily just to look at bad ass posters and wish I could buy them. I'm assuming I'm not the only one that does this so maybe we could help each out. My list:

-Black Keys 12/30/10 and 12/31/10 (I got the 3rd day but was too ate the first two)
-MMJ Burwell NYE MSG. I know how rare this is, but I won't give up hope. Either colors are cool with me.
-Pearl Jam Burwell Poster. I may already have this secured, but I'm trying to find a non-ebay place to buy it.

Burwell NYE is easily had, you could easily get one for under $100.

really? in my 6 months of looking at posters so often I've only seen one for sale and it was about 150.00$.

look on expressobeans, couple of folks have it listed for sale for $75

espresso beans is somewhat confusing me. All the users listed are selling and/or trading the poster, correct? And I have to PM them with an offer if no price is listed?

pretty much correct.  You first need to create an account if you haven't already.  The website basically originated years ago as a site that merely tracked the sales of predominantly rock posters.  You could look up a poster and see it's sales history, and also as a way for people to trade, buy and sell with each other.  It's become quite large.  But, if you're wanting that poster I would first start by sending pms to the 2 individuals who have the print listed for $75, see what they say.  Sometimes people forget to update their page, and sometimes an item is sold, or is no longer available and they still have it listed as for sale.

cool man thanks

Well, I've contacted a couple folks on EB, but thought I'd try the forum.  I've decided I'd like to complete my collection of Guy Burwell's Portland MMJ posters.  I've got 3 of 5.  If anyone knows of an available print for these two, I'd love to hear about it.  PM or email would be fantastic.  Thanks in advance.

Burwell Portland MMJ 07



Burwell Portland MMJ 03

I feel like if you just check eBay sometimes you'll find the top one pretty easily for 50$ or so. The other one not so much.

I'm still trying to get my hands on a Burwell Pearl Jam. I got the Lost print that Burwell was comissioned to do for 17$, which I'm happy about. Lost, Pearl Jam, and MMJ are my 3 favorite things, so I need that PJ to have a poster of each by Burwell.

Johnny, I may have an extra copy of the burwell 07 Portland, if so I'll sell it to you. I'll check some time this weekend.

That would be most excellent and awesome, keeping it in the "family".  Thanks.

yeah this is so true and it sucks. I just bought a Burwell for a band I've never even listened to just cause it was cheap... I'm about to drop 60$ on another one then I'M DONE

Looking for the Z poster from the T5 run. le sigh.

[walterfredo]

I too am looking for a Z poster to complete my set.  I have an extra 'It Still Moves' to trade, or have cash (but will get in line after subinai)

Looking for the poster with the evil belle of louisville from the halloween show at the yum yum center.  Have seen it on multiple sites but none who were selling it.

me and you both!  good luck!

That must be the poster with the steamboat?  I didn't realize it had become a rarity so soon.

I was reminded of it when I saw this come up on eBay.  I snagged it from a seller in Australia for $6 (plus $12 shipping, from Down Under).  Curious to see it in person, a different take on the steamboat motif and a poster I'd never seen before.

The poster I was talking about (and I think, the person I replied to) is
http://www.cricket-press.com/gallery_pages/MMJ1.html

That one is proving tough to find.

Nice buy, JY.   As you probably know, that's a promoter poster for the show, not a silkscreen.     (much in the same way this is:  http://cgi.ebay.com/MY-MORNING-JACKET-2010-Concert-Poster-w-Grace-Potter-/150575118121?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item230ef9f729  they often use the same poster art).

I'm pretty eager to find the original silkscreen of that, and I can't even figure out who the artist is.  I even toyed with buying what you did in the hopes of figuring out who the artist is, but instead I asked the ebay seller directly if it said anywhere, and he said it doesn't.   If when you get it you can tell, let me know please!    For more info, you can see a thread I started here:

There are only 4 MMJ posters I need to complete my 2008 - 2010 collection, and these we are discussing are two of them....

[johnnYYac]

Hmm.  The silkscreen image you posted in that EB thread is quite different.  I actually like the promo better, but its interesting how the art is rearranged.  So, can you share what other 2 08-10 posters you're looking for?
