I've found a person who sells it but I am a bit suspicious it could be fake, I find it kind of small (A3) and they are selling it cheaper than it was sold at the stadium. Sounds like a photocopy to me. There was a dude on eBay last year who was selling cheap A3 coloured photocopies of most lithos. Could be him or someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Unless some enterprising soul (pirate) starts churning out high quality repros, I think that lithorati.com is the only way most of us will ever enjoy our favorite images. I personally have no problem with buying a repro as long as it's clearly labeled as such and priced accordingly. Hell, I have this bad boy proudly hanging in my spare room and it sure as shit isn't an original, (cause you old school nerds know how much originals are worth,) but it's a LOVELY full size copy and was advertised as such and cost me 20 bucks. I've been daydreaming about an oversized coffee table book with reproductions as a consolation from Team Brazil will never do it cause that's too much effort when "My Daddy Likes Guns N Fucking Roses" onesies for babies are easier and more profitable. There's simply not enough of these to go around to all of us that want them and the prices are only going to climb and climb. I don't want bootlegging scumbags to profit but I do wish someone with the means for production would make some nice repros of the more desirable ones, clearly marked, different sizes so as not to pass for an original. But bootleg scumbags aren't known for their scruples, so I guess lithorati jpegs are the way to go for us that simply can't afford market value. But like I said in an earlier post....these aren't for everyone. We are NOT ENTITLED to own every poster. They're perks and bonuses for attendees and devout fans willing to put in the legwork and put their wallet where their mouth it. I hate to quote Axl's cliche, but it's apt: "Life doesn't owe you a happy endng." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlIsGod. Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Isnt half the fun in the hunt to get them and the exclusivity that brings? I'd like to own loads but really, nobody can display and enjoy that many. Repros would de value the whole thing, might as well be crap quality posters then.

uzi your illusion Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 @estrangedtwat There is a guy producing high quality reproductions...his eBay name is Warpig! Fucking scumbag that he is. He polluted the market making the uninformed collector feel that there were more lithos available then there actually were. And he made the hardcore collectors skeptical that there were fakes out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzagbigbag Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi there, Since I had no proper place to hang those lithos I was not really into them to date, even if some of them look nothing but awesome. Now that I have moved, I would love to have the LA 2016 Pool Skater because I have been a skateboarder and GNR fan for about 30 years each. http://lithorati.com/na2016/2016-08-18 Los Angeles.html How rare is this one and what is it's average price? Do you think there is any chance I might get one at "short notice" or is it impossible to get like London, Paris etc? If one of you has one to offer, I of course would very much appreciate an pm :-) Thanks very much for your help! By the way: I was at London first night but to much into party mood to get the litho. I kick my ass today 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcs953 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Anybody who gets one, who wants to trade for a Madrid 2018, or fair cash offer, pm me. Understand the work it takes into getting these as I have been to 4 shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's not the size of the real one, now I am sure. And no, it's actually pretty cheap, so that's why I was suspecting too. I would like to have a legitimate one but so far I have not been able to find one Thanks for your help!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't piss in his face if his warehouse of fake lithos caught on fire. I'd only be interested in ETHICAL reproductions. Different dimensions, different card/paper stock, very obvious disclaimers that these are not the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many lithos do you own? And what was the appeal of the lithos for you? Are you a GNR die hard? I’m curious to hear what GNR means to you.
