The paraphrase "cold, dead hands" comes to mind when I think about parting with my poster. But if someone wants to sell theirs, I hope they get bank! It would be so cool to see these become "true" collector's items. Good luck, FRANKLINBLUTH777!

Yes but the $255 was just the poster. This auction includes the postcard and pins. I get that the lower numbers can make a difference but I will be surprised if someone "buys it now".

even if it becomes worthless, memories like running through downtown san diego looking for a FL poster with Mach1Monorail are priceless memories i've made. So i dont really mind what these things go for. by the time they get sold, my grand kids or great grand kids probably wont get anything for them unless the Tron franchise gets reborn again way down the line.

It'll be interesting to see how it does. The Buy It Now seems a little high at $249 but considering #001 went for $255 maybe it's right.
Personally, I'm hoping he gets it, and fast.
It's wierd, cause I definitely will never sell my AA poster, but I still want it to be considered "valuable". Imagine how well the "Tron franchise" is doing if these posters become sought after and valued highly. If the AA posters become "forgotten" and "worthless" (harsh words), then the "Tron Franchise" and the FL Arg will just be a great memory for those who participated. I guess neither is that bad, but which one would I prefer?

Anyway. It's a legal-sized pic with numbered legend at the bottom. Prints readably on a color laserjet.
This is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Arcade Aid Poster Legend
Because Folks keep asking me about it at work.
Funny how things take their time to catch on.
I proudly displayed my poster in the office and shared it's story with several folks who, for the most part, thought I was a bit wonky.
All of a sudden, it's drawing folks in to look for names.

Well that's it. #001 of the Arcade Aid Poster has been auctioned off on eBay and went for $255 (not too bad...). You can check it out for yourself here:

Re: custom framing your FL posters - just wanted to bring to your attention two places that are here in SoCal (Orange County) that do awesome work at good prices:
Frame Fetish - They can do custom borders that would fit the Zach note + puzzle key and they also do custom borders and could probably do a Tron-ish grid style design. Probably a bit more expensive than an Aaron Bros, but it will be done right and will be more unique. Personally have not used them yet, but know people who have for other posters and love them! http://www.framefetish.com/
The other place I recommend, and personally use is a place called Picture Show Gallery in Seal Beach, CA (owner is Mike Adler). He framed my rare Shag prints and they turned out super nice. Best part is he is super cheap for high quality custom framing (I shopped around and his higher quality framing was still less without coupons than it would have been for shoddy work at Michael's/Aaron Bros with one of their coupons (was less than $200 for a matted custom frame job approx 36x20).
Just thought I'd recommend these two from experience trying to frame custom things myself, as I know the work they do is awesome. I've ultimately learned that by the time you end up trying to make something work in terms of frame sizes and stock mattes at those chain stores, you might as well go to one of these custom guys who doesn't nickle and dime (custom framing is the biggest racket in terms of insane pricing vs. their costs). You can always do it yourself to, but I prefer to let the pros do it.
As an example, I plan on getting my FL stuff framed at Picture Show eventually as follows:
Set of Postcards in an individual matte window each with the corresponding gold coin matted directly below the each card in a seperate circular window. In the middle I'll put a "Flynn's Arcade" and "Home of Tron" coin next to each other in seperate matte circles to complete the design.
Want to get all my FL pins framed in a custom little shadow box just for those pins for the ARG.
On a seperate note and in regards to AA poster eBay prices, I've noticed that the more expensive auctions went for people with lots of positive feedback and the ones that have gone for under $100 have typically been for newer eBayers with less positive feedback. That might have something to do with the price changes (besides the obvious cooling off period we're in). I agree with another post that best time to auction is when the Blu-Ray comes out OR I highly recommend waiting to list the two weeks leading up to Comic Con in July.

6 days, 6 hours and no price change...
Yeah it will probably hover until there's about 4 hours left then it will jump again. #001 would be nice to have, it is kind of hard estimate the value though. It's a small edition size but the pool of people that really want one is somewhat small as well.
I'd love to have another to give to my friend that didn't get one even though he finished about an hour before I did, however it's not as fun to have gotten it from the source.
