Flattened you cant tell though so i'll get by. Got it flattening out now on my table under glass from another frame that was too small. Need to get a decent one soon before either kids or animals damage it. Still considering it was pouring with rain I got lucky with the gate delay and my mate ran back to the car with his and mine and we didnt have to deal with that problem Febuary? Now that would bug me. I hadn't noticed it before though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogmug Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have a purple San Diego litho numbered (only 20 made), if anyone is interested in a trade or just wants it. Let me know...:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I've been thinking of making a more organized thread with all the best possible (clearest, biggest) images we can get for the show specific lithographs. Most of them are in this thread, but they're all out of order and various quality. I was hoping to do something more organized. Also, some of the lithos that we never got really clear shots of from the artist or the band's twitter can be found on ebay, and would look decent with a little photoshop brushing up. Is anyone else interested in a definitive thread as a lithograph art depository or should we just keep using this one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So umm... guys... look what I have: Don't get too excited - at the moment they all have owners If you remember, my friend who owed me one (and sent me one) actually purchased several, all for friends who were at the Kobe gig but didn't want to hold on to the lithos for the whole show. The friends made the trip to Tokyo for one of the Saitama shows and the plan was to pick up their lithos and fly back home (they all live in the US). But of course, by the time the Japan leg was done, we all know how rare and desirable the lithos became and they ALL ended up having second thoughts. Now they've decided to leave them in Japan and are thinking about selling them. And I don't blame them. With the current prices they are going for, selling one poster pretty much covers their plane ticket. My friend and I are currently deciding what to do with them - try to sell them personally, put them on Yahoo Auctions or on Ebay. Not sure if anybody here is interested considering the price they're going for now but at least for the time being, for the people who are willing to pay, they ARE available. They are in PERFECT condition. Guy brought a document tube with him to the gig and went straight home after. If anybody has any serious offers, let me know but otherwise it's probably Yahoo/Ebay.

Len Cnut Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What is a lithograph? Look like posters to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'd love to own one, but if people are really paying over $1000 for a piece of cardboard I think they're out of their minds. It's an insanely cool image. But it wasn't a particularly memorable show or anything. Does anyone else think that's just insane that something printed a few weeks ago is more "valuable" than vintage memorabilia from the 80s? Well, the market decides the value of an item. I suppose it's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. I love the idea of having specific artwork for each show. That's something Pearl Jam used to do and I always thought it was awesome. But as much as I love the Kobe print (and Cincinnati as well) without the emotional connection of having been at that show it's not worth paying a premium to own the originals. Good luck to the sellers though....if the end result is that somehow my Yokohama and Tokyo lithos become more valuable, then that's even better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaninjapan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 As for lithos being more valuable than vintage memorabilia? Well... I think it's apples and oranges. It's an unfair comparison. Lithographs are the very epitome of a 'collectible' - they are DELIBERATELY limited. Vintage shirts or whatever from the 80s might be just as rare but that's only because of age. It's not because there was only ever 150 or 250 of those shirts ever made. The curmudgeon in us all can get angry at the idea of lithographs being limited and numbered but that's just how it is. If there was a limited edition numbered poster from when GnR played the Whiskey A Go Go in 1986, I'm 100% positive it would be worth a lot more than the Kobe litho. Secondly, posters are more 'collectible'. You could start a collection of keychains or pencil cases but there has always been something appealing and 'collectible' about a playbill/poster/lithograph. You can frame it like a piece of artwork because it kinda is in both form and function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 2500 yen in Japan, which I guess is about $20 Not that it really changes the fact that it's a fancy poster, but they ARE made from thick paper stock. This isn't just like a poster you rip out of Kerrang, they're kinda a pain in the ass to roll up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy. Yup But whether we like it or not, there's only 150 of these Kobe posters. I'm sure there were more than 150 Appetite for Destruction jackets made. Actually - that reminds me of a question I wanted to ask. Someone said the Kobe venue was the smallest venue on the entire NITL tour (8000 people) and that the 150 litho limit was the lowest of the NITL tour too. Can anybody confirm this? Or at least provide info to disprove it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew07 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 im almost tempted to pick up one of those awesome lithos from the japan shows, there on ebay for about 150ish dollars which is not bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
