This is something that I don't want to give up but must so I can buy materials for my own up coming art exhibition. This is an original sealed 1st run orange issue of Pearl Jam vs. The Ames Brothers poster book given to me directly by the bands manager (by the way, both he and his wife are incredibly nice people!) It is in pristine condition and still in it's original shipping box. It is also supposedly one of the earliest off the press, numbered copies and may possibly contain more in it than other later copies, but I'm not sure since it is sealed and I'm not opening it unless I keep it! My reserve is very reasonable for this rare and personally precious item. Good luck! Here is some more info about it: "Pearl Jam vs. Ames Bros: 13 Years of Tour Posters", - a chronology of Pearl Jam's celebrated concert posters spanning 1995-2007. The book includes over 200 poster art images from renowned artists Ames Bros and Brad Klausen. A limited edition, signed and numbered, copy of the poster book.
