Autographed Posters

[reflection1mind]

Can anyone fill me in on the price of the autographed posters at the current shows?

[ChaseNine]

My friend bought one for 25 I think, but that was in '07.

[DT-H.]

I got mine in atlanta for $100-

[capthowdy1027]

I've heard $25 for the regular one and $100 signed. And, that there is 350 signed ones at each gig.

[Bogart]

Is it first come serve...when do they go on sale?

[mauser337]

does anybody have an extra poster from the SLC or Denver shows? I was unable to get a poster at either show even though I was at both of them. I have some (full) signed bottles of wine I would be willing to trade. a cheaper bottle for an unsigned poster or a (once again, full) bottle of Nagual de la Naga for a signed poster from either show.

anyone interested?

[mhissticobra]

I will be at the show in Cinci and I am looking to get one of the signed posters, if I can't get a signed one, I will buy an unsigned poster. My question is how is everybody holding them if you are in the pit or GA area? I don't want it to get ruined or crushed. What's everybody doing? Thanks

[Rolo]

Recession? What recession?

someone said theyll give you a cardboard tube for the signed one and a rubber band for the unsigned..that should help a little

[capthowdy1027]

I'm going to be in the pit at the Cincinnati show as well. I really hope it doesn't get messed up, but nothing much I can really do about it but try to stay away from people.

Kinda off topic, but I've heard $40 for the tour shirts, anybody know if that is correct? The pictures I've seen are pretty bad ass looking.

$40 is correct. Think it's $45 for 2XL.

I got one at the Fairfax show with the tour dates on the back and it's got the 4 band members with almost over-sized, bobble-head images. Kinda neato although Justin's head looks like an older image as he has moderately short hair and is clean shaven. Definitely not the Jesus/hippie Justin that we're used to now.

[capthowdy1027]

Sounds cool. I haven't seen a picture of that one.

The 2 I seen was one with two guys on back with there toungues connected with dates at the bottom and the other one had the Tool wrench on the back with tour dates and a crazy eye spiral on the front.

Anybody know the size of the posters? I'd assume they are the smaller size not full size, but I hope I'm wrong.

[rawkuout]

The poster from the Georgia show is exactly 26 inches tall and 12 inches wide.

[tkl1982]

Do the posters come rolled or are you on your own as far as that is concerned?

[Bogart]

Wow...this thread hasn't been very helpful.

[rawkuout]

For the unsigned ones, you're on your own.

For the signed ones, they give you this triangular box thing to fold the poster up in. It's very awkward and impractical, and quite annoying to carry around.

[mhissticobra]

Triangular box?!?! Like these?:

http://www.bladenbox.com/Upload/Images/ac4f3b1b-bfe7-4438-b0e9-9a5970a812bf.jpg

Looks like I'm bringing my own postal tube to the show. You can't even stick those triangular tubes in a pocket. F-ing dumb.

Exactly like those.

And yes, it is fucking dumb. Better than nothing though.

I brought my own tube to the ATL show and they wouldn't let me bring it in.Kinda stupid as they were giving them away with the signed ones.I guess they thought I was gonna use a cardboard tube as a weapon.You can try but I doubt they'll let you.If you do,I wouldn't ask anyone if you can bring it in,just try to walk in with it,if they stop you try to talk to em,but it'll probably be a losing battle.

[slamminsalmon]

this chick i was hanging out with got one a signed one for 100 dollars, all 4 members.

[gahpg]

Got one from the chicago Gig. All they do is give you the flat poster on top of the box (which is flattened). You fold the poster and the box too.

[Underalus]

So assuming they can sell 350 units/night (out of the nearly 10 000 people at some of these shows), on top of everything they make $35000 on posters. They make someone's salary off of posters. Every night.

[slamminsalmon]

they arent making us buy em.

plus someone had to go through and write. 1/450 2/450 on all of them. that would suck!

[gahpg]

Chicago one measures 20 wide and 30 tall for those curious. Here's a poor pic of mine framed.

[Bogart]

I was able to get one from the Cincy show...tits

[Frikinelmo]

I'm not sure how many were signed of the 350, but certainly not all of them. I'd venture to guess not that many.

$25 for an unsigned print is a good deal. These are small run, numbered, hand screened prints on heavy weight stock. I bought a signed San Antonio and an unsigned Dallas while at the Dallas show. Bought them 3-4 minutes after the doors opened. At that point in the evening, they told me they didn't think they were going to have signed Dallas prints. (apparently the signed Dallas prints showed up shortly after I made the purchase).

Long story short, these are really cool mementos. Little pieces of art in and of themselves. I'm in the process of building frames for them as I type this. I had mats cut yesterday.

[fatback_mcswain]

Does anyone have a pic of the Kingston poster? That one was never posted on toolband.com

Nice little collection there Fatback! Big fan of that red rocks one.

[fatback_mcswain]

Thanks lotus. Still looking for unsigned copies of Manchester, Kingston, Cincinnati, and San Antonio. If anyone can help me out please PM me and we can work something out. Thanks.

it was a really cool poster...i should have picked one up at the show....

[NCToolfan]

I tried to get a hold of a poster at the Charlotte show. The unsigned one sold out 3 people infront of me, and I didn't have enough on me to pay for the signed one.

[slamminsalmon]

awesome collection fatback!

i would do most anything to see king crimson and tool at red rocks.

[SJC91]

I can't wait for the Pomona date. I will definitely be buying an autographed poster! The merch booth WILL be my first stop as soon as I get there!

[Arkham Asylum]

Never realized that the Red Rocks one was a blacklight poster. I wonder which other ones are.

I would check as soon as you get in but I should warn you the autographed ones haven't been for sale right away at all the shows. I think the band probably signs them the day of the show.

Also, if you want to pick up an unsigned one for me let me know and we can work something out.

Good luck!

Those look phenomenal.

I inspected the Jersey City show poster from this tour pretty closely at the merch booth but the hand-screening didn't seem so well-done (unless it looked like that on purpose). They refused to give out tubes or rubber bands; it was muddy and wet that day so I ended up not buying one but I really really wanted to. If anyone has a photo of of the All Points West tour poster from August 1st, I'd like to see a scan so I can figure out if the specific poster I saw looked a little half-assed with its printing or if the whole run looked like that.

[Frikinelmo]

I thought I'd share these with you guys. I just finished making the frames and assembling them. Haven't hung them yet. They will probably all go into the bedroom. I like the bold colors on our gray walls in that room. Plus, that is where our New Orleans poster already resides.

Does ANYBODY have an extra APW poster that they'd like to trade for a SLC poster? Please PM if so. I mean c'mon we all know SLC is the best city in the world, consider yourself lucky with this offer :P

Does your poster have an embossed stamp on the lower right hand side?

For some reason my signed Lolla poster was not embossed, though all of the unsigned posters at the merch stand were...

If anyone has one or knows of anyone that has a 2009 San Antonio poster for sale, please let me know. I am interested in purchasing one but they seem to be very hard to come by.

[no_name]

I have an autographed SA poster. I can't remember how much i paid for it but i got it off ebay a few weeks after the show. I remember the day i got it. i was sooo psyched! They are hard to come by. That was the only one i have seen signed or unsigned. They are now selling some tool tour posters at the bands website if anyone is interested in that. I suppose i could be persuaded into selling this SA poster, send me an offer. i doubt you could offer me enough to make me want to part with it though. Its my second favorite, second to my signed Phx poster. I just like the poster style of the Phoenix 2009 show poster better.

Nah man, I'm not gonna even attempt to take someones poster that isn't actively selling.

I was able to pick up at signed print last night at NO now I just need the plain SA poster to complete my collection.

[enterangement]

Posters still running 12 x 26 like last year or are they 12 x 24? I bought one from the NO show but I don't have anything to measure it with =(

[SJC91]

I did end up buying an autographed poster at their Pomona date on their last tour...it's never left the tube I put it in when I got it...anyone want to buy it? I'd even be willing to trade it, just tell me what you got
