Collectible of the Week: 2014 Phillies STH Poster
2014 Phillies Season Ticket Holder Poster
Each season the Phillies offer season ticket holders a bonus for paying their account in full early. The deadline for payment usually falls in November - and as a (former) long-time season ticket holder can attest that the "gifts" can be an incentive to stretch a budget. In recent years full season ticket holders have received limited edition prints of Dick Perez art. And, with a limited print run, some of these posters, like the 2008 World Champions (2009 STH Giveaway), have become valuable collectors items.
2014 marked the 10th season of play at Citizens Bank Park and the Phillies centered promotions around the occasion, including the season ticket holder early bird gift which featured the "Top 10 Citizens Bank Park Moments." It contains ten, unframed Perez paintings - with a red title bar listing the event title and date. On each picture is the CBP, 10th Anniversary logo and text detailing which number the moment ranked. Down from peak production runs of 1,200+ in previous seasons, only 600 of these posters were made. Each is individually hand numbered and signed by Dick Perez in pencil.
I have not seen many of these turn up on the secondary market over the past year - but, they would make a great signing medium. One poster recently sold for $55 on eBay. This seems pretty reasonable based on prices for other posters from the past couple years.
