My $30 FB MP 1999 Championship Poster Find

[ElGuapo]

Always on the hunt for interesting UConn finds on marketplace, I picked this up in NJ last week for $30.
I’ve was keeping an eye on it for like a year but had no reason to be in NJ for pickup until something came up last weekend which brought me to the area. And it was still listed so I reached out.
Guy I bought it from was a 1996 St. John’s alum and was happy that I was bringing it home to CT where it belongs.

I remember at the time I didn’t have the money to buy the print so all these years later I finally have one. The framing alone is worth well more than the $30 I paid for it.

The only good thing that ever came from that ugly stadium.

Agreed, it was a dump!

I have a poster or framed pic from every NC except 1999. I think I saw this when I was searching many years ago. Just not a lot of stuff for the 1999 championship.

KEA at the line?

I've had that shot framed in my home office for 20+ years.

I remeber this artist and stadium panoramic style was all the rage around then and into the 2000s.
But pricing was kind of stupid and I had a poster framing addiction and wall space issue already for 1990's Phish band posters of the shows I went to.
So for this to circle back all these years later was very cool.
This one just doesn't come up anywhere so I had to wait for a trip to New Jersey to finally jump on it.
Thankfully it was still available after all that time.
