Here's what to the guy on EB posted:
"Print was not signed/numbered but in slightly glossy letters along the side reads: "Print by Rob Jones at Animalrummy.com Printed by D&L" After the show there was still a (much smaller) stack of posters remaining.
Did each show have a different number of Poster prints??? The girl at the Merch table at WorkPlay said they only had 80 and 'that of all the posters, this one(the WorkPlay Poster) has the least amount of copies'(loved her british accent BTW...)... Just saw a WorkPlay poster on eBay for $250+!!!
Each print run is unique and decided between the artist and tour manager with considerations of venue size and allocation to various people associated with the gig etc. Rob Jones has become something of a Jack White artistic manager in recent years, doling out responsibilities when he doesn't have time to do everything himself. There are normally nearly 100 or so prints at the merch stand give or take. Artists hold a certain number back to sell at their leisure, usually on the order of 100. I would expect typical print runs for this tour are in the 220-333 range. That's how Rob roles.
I wouldn't be too concerned about most of these costing a lot. Normally a handful sell at a high price to the desperate crazies, but these posters will settle in the very affordable range, as others have suggested. At the height of The White Stripes last tour, Rob Jones prints got very expensive, but I would kind of be surprised if that repeats itself here, given what we've witnessed with the Racs and Dead Weather. On the other hand, who knows, stranger things have happened...
