I hope these assholes get stuck with a bunch of them they can't sell or have to sell at low prices to get their money back. There is not really a huge amount of people who collect these. Of course people on here because we are super fans lol. People I know think I am crazy for even considering buying them for $45 at the show. This isn't something everyone is into. I'm sure the band/merch company keeps track of this stuff as well. Either they will list all of the unsold ones once the tour is over to flood the market or do more limited reprints to help capitalize on the craze. Either way, that will make those prints come down in price. I guarantee you those folks will be left with a bunch they want to get rid of. It wouldn't even surprise me if they are buying their own prints to set these prices in hope that a few bite on the re listing. Some people have to ruin the fun...

Lame stuff there as they are trying to profit off of fans and the band. They're colluding in trying to drive the price up on these. Wait a few months and you'll see these popping up at more reasonable prices once the hype wears off. This isn't much different as to what the actual band and it's representatives did with tickets. They sold tickets for hundreds of dollars the the diehards. Then added shows and when they realized they couldn't sell all the tickets at the high price points, lowered the prices. So the real fans got screwed. So it's something we need to accept as the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Damn, I was coming in here to post that. I kind of like the old Seattle Supersonics throw back look or maybe its because I can never get a good lithograph for a good price.

Fitha_whiskey Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think it's kinda strange they used the Sonics colors, since they hosed the city & left... Seems rather uninspired to me. I thought for sure it was gonna be a skeleton drinking a Starbucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBucky Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The Sonics are still beloved in that town, the ownership is hated. That's a fantastic litho for the locals! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I like it just because it is kind of a throwback to something Seattle loved. It is simple but its cool. I guess I like it because I am an NBA fan. Edited August 12, 2016 by Tourettes2400 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 That is the best one thus far as it is like an old fashioned gig poster - in fact it has the exact same colour scheme as a Neil Young/Crazy Horse poster I have on my wall. The skeleton ones are too silly for my taste - too Metallica. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBubba Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Friend of a friend is gonna try and get me one tonight. Kinda wish my friend Duff had not tweeted it out to get those excited who normally wouldn't purchase, but it is his home town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertr212 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I think it looks awesome! Really different than all the other ones but I personally really like it. Edited August 13, 2016 by Albertr212 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If the fear is that someone made copies of the KC Lithograph and they are selling them on Ebay, I don't think you have to worry too much. Looking at the past KC auctions, I don't see any repeating numbers. 155 shows up twice, but it looks like someone bought it and then flipped it for a small profit (different seller and location). A Google search also reveals that some of the numbers are hand printed and some are apparently machine printed. Here is a link to someone who feared their Philly litho was fake because the number looked printed instead of hand written: https://m.reddit.com/r/GunsNRoses/comments/4uwkd5/my_brothers_worried_his_philly_litho_is_fake/ Since these are all printed locally, it probably depends on the capability of the printing equipment at whichever company they contract. Going back to ebay, it looks like all the KC lithos may have printed numbers like Philly. No worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think of rain, hipsters and..... Starbucks! I wasn't aware they still loved the Sonics. I'd have guessed the opposite. DB Cooper- that's an interesting angle... I like it. AZ will likely be the obvious I think- skeleton in the desert by a cactus. Could put some awesome colors into it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertr212 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I don't know if this is likely but I have a feeling Duff had something to do with picking the design on this one. I mean it is in his home town, he was the first one to share the design on his Twitter (I believe) and he even said #sonics in his post which means he liked the team. I also think this is the first time we have a core member actually share a litho from this tour so I'm guessing this one means something to him. I don't know just a thought that I had. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
