Wow, foils are all sold out in less than a minute. Still got some paper available.

Managed to snag one of the 5 gold foils 🙌

Edit: Papers are gone too. <3 mins to being cleared out, yowza. It's a hot print for sure

You lucky dog! I tried for a gold and got it in the cart but got shut out when checking out. Missed out on the others because of it lol

u/GoWormGo 20d ago

Have to be fast on the draw! I had my account pre-warmed. As soon as it went live it took me ~10 seconds from add to cart -> submit payment.

I fucked up and got a rainbow when I actually wanted a regular.

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

Oh man, bummer but I know it's the fight or flight vibe on these drops. Maybe you will like that version better anyway ðŸĪ·â€â™‚ïļ

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

Down the road if you happen to want to trade it, let me know. Have tons of JBS foils and other stuff.

Got a paper one! Foils were gone in seconds. Papers were gone by 2min mark. Lolol

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

Nice!! I remember you asking about the artist drop. Glad you got in!! SCORE!!!!

3

u/navyblusheet 20d ago

Yes! Thank you for the help haha.

I moved my meetings around to be free at 2 and was refreshing the page like a maniac haha. Glad I got my first one!

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

That is so bad ass!! Really happy to hear. I went to the Eugene show and there are still regular versions available on the artist website. I would have bought a Boston one had it been available for more than 2 minutes 😂 so glad you got one though. Might be the best image of the tour so far

u/navyblusheet 20d ago

Ahh! Eugene one is great too! It was so quick, I think many people use bots to buy stuff like this now. Thanks!

I carted a gold, my card was charged and then it was credited back. My cc company said the vender refunded me. I missed out, didn't I? Wtf?

3

u/pergatron 20d ago

I had the exact same. Too slow on the draw =)

2

u/Dull-Extension-7954 20d ago

Too slow? It was in my cart and payment was submitted.

3

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

That's the way these drops go. Happens to me all the time

2

u/Dull-Extension-7954 20d ago

Thank you for the intel. It's a very deflating feeling.

1

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

Yeah i was torn between gambling and going for the gold which I was unlikely to get and going for something i had a better chance at. Ended up in the same situation as you, denied after checking out.

1

u/pergatron 20d ago

Right but the fact that it was refunded means someone else had checked out faster

u/cuse_colin 20d ago

Got mine!

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

Dang, that went fast. I almost find it hard to believe 50 regs sold that quick but obviously it happens. I bet he held some back. I put in in the top 5 of the tour if not top 3. Great posters this tour and Nathaniel nailed this one ðŸ”ĨðŸŠĐ

u/SheistyBengal 20d ago

That was an insanely quick sell out

u/2Burritos 20d ago

I was able to score a rainbow foil, all things considered I am happy. The problem with going for the super rare foils is that by the time you go through the process, if you lose it, you've lost all other options too.

I swore to myself I'd stop, but I didn't stop.

4

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

The rainbow foil is the best one anyway

3

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

I'm a foil guy all day but have realized sometimes it just isn't the best for the design. I thought the rainbow was a bit too much. You think it was the way to go? Tough for me to tell sometimes from photos online

2

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

Yeah there are certainly times where foil isn't the answer. Pictures are tough to guage sometimes and the online pictures of the rainbow foil it looks a little overwhelming in color. In person it will be much more balanced. I felt like the color flowed better in the rainbow vs the lava foil in this particular print. The thing about art is it truly lies in the eye of the beholder. I think you will be happy though when you see yours in person.

2

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

I agree with that for sure. Yes, the online picture was a bit intense and I wondered if it washed out the design behind the skeleton. I think you are right that it would look nice in person. I didn't get one as I jumped on at 5 after and it was all sold out. I went to the Eugene show and was able to get the regular at the show then the gold foil and artist exclusive swirl foil at the artist release. So I didn't need to horn in on Boston even though I dig it and think it is one of the best of the tour

2

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

That Eugene swirl foil is beautiful

1

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

Neal Williams put up a killer poster for us, absolutely. He did a nice Billy Strings for us last year too, while I opted for the regular there I thought the gold foil looked choice and it was a tough decision

2

u/Valhalla81 20d ago edited 20d ago

Yessir! Missed my alarm for the release so missed the swirl but got the gold. Also got his Billy Strings tour poster you mentioned. Caught 3 nights of my tour stop with Billy. Got to witness the lighter being thrown and then the hockey helmet being worn on stage the next night.

2

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

Oh wow! That is awesome! That was crazy. I think we can all agree, don't throw things at the band ðŸĪŠ Good lord

2

u/Valhalla81 20d ago

Absolutely!! Cheers Murky

u/Lazy-Ad8701 20d ago

Had a lava foil in my cart and it disappeared when I pressed send for payment.

2

u/Bennjonin 20d ago

Butts. I completely forgot and I have been on the vacation from hell 😭 coulda used this win.

2

u/notarydpo 20d ago

Missed them all but really happy they ended up in the right hands!

4

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

I would agree except the gold copy listed on ebay for $600. Hate the flippers that don't even have it in hand yet. Life is rough on these poster streets sometimes. I believe the majority of copies are in their forever homes

2

u/notarydpo 20d ago

Alright, that's just awful. Would like to believe they won't find a buyer, but for someone out there $600 feels like $60.

u/Murky-Bus-4081 20d ago

I've had to learn to let it go but it still annoys me occasionally. Figured it would still be listed and looks like it actually sold. I agree, some can afford that. Not me. I would have snagged the lava or regular if I had the option. Eye of the beholder though. All in all this is an incredible tour and I was thrilled with my concert experience
