Brewers bat man and robin poster...

[billyhallfan]

I never knew this poster was worth so much, over a $100 dollars? Wow, our own Matt is the high bidder so far, but that is ridiculous...

What is the poster from? Was it a stadium giveaway?

[splitterpfj]

Wow, that stinks, I had that poster back in the day, but mine's long gone.

 

No, it wasn't a giveaway, mine came from Shopko.

Matt....I certainly hope your wife is an equally good sister in law...Christmas is coming soon!

 

[mattsr0625]

now i hope that someone else outbids me on the one i bid on ebay.

[zachlaka]

I would bid on this if I didn't win a blue '04 Gantner a blue '04 Thomas and both pinstripe and blue '05 Fingers all on Sunday.

That poster is rare because it was pulled shortly after it debuted. Parents complained about the image of role models holding guns, particularly Molitor as his 80's drug abuse was still fresh in peoples minds. I guess the sight of a recovering cocaine addict holding a gun was to much for those who couldn't appreciate how freaking awesome that poster was.

 

I used to have one, but it was ruined years ago. Unsigned they go for $125 or so (usually). Signed by both in mint condition with no alterations (like trimmings, laminations, creases...) it can fetch as much as $500.

you can retract your bid matt...

 

go to the site map...

[Paul77]

According to ebay you can only retract your bid under one of 4 circumstances. Having an awesome wife is not one of them.

 

When Can You Retract Your Bid?

 

* You entered the incorrect amount, accidentally.

* The item description has changed so much that it will affect the value of the item.

* You are unable to reach the seller: The phone is a non-working number and an email comes back to you as undeliverable.

* Provide proof that someone has bid on an item using your User ID and password.

 

When Can You Not Retract Your Bid?

 

* You decide you bid too much.

* You bid on multiple auctions for the same item and don't want to buy all of them.

* You acted impulsively and you really don't want the item.

* You realized you really can't afford the item.

 

In any event, I'm sure someone will out bid you. Theres a long time left.

That poster is very bad ass! I remember that from when I was a youngster. I'd love to get my hands on one. But not for $125.

So the poster was only sold at ShopKo's?

I don't know about only being available at ShopKo, but it was a retail item as opposed to a stadium giveaway. I pinned mine to the wall with thumbtacks, and later double sided tape, and then scotch tape. I really abused mine. I folded it. It got wrinkled and in the end I just couldn't display it anymore. I kick my self all the time over that...dumb kid.

I know what you mean, I abused so many great collectables when I was a kid. Cards, posters, starting lineups, etc.

[buckskid41]

Wow, that poster is awesome. That one that is signed is even cooler. I feel your pain for wrecking that poster. I had a 47 greatest moments in County Sadium history poster and lost it. Also, I got a Brewers batting helmet and jammed a mini basketball in it and ended up breaking it to get it out. That was the end of me doing stupid things to my sweet collectables.

so I have to ask, 20fry and mattsr0625, you two are related?

[Paul77]

so I have to ask, 20fry and mattsr0625, you two are related?

Yeah, he's married to my sister in law.

Yeah, he's married to my sister in law.

 

Is this an SAT question?

 

[Invader3K]

I had a friend who had that poster on his wall. I'm sure it's long gone.

 

It is kind of weird seeing the Kid and Molly holding pistols. Cool poster, though.

I'm just giving Brain a hard time because he has actually met my brother, I just don't think he realized it.
