I like the Arbuckle very much. The dog's expression is grim.

you're missing the cocktail waitress and the stripper dancing. Also, the gal you have there usually is feeding me grapes.

Hello all, Sorry I haven't been around much. I started work again a few days ago.....been a while since I had to do "work work"...haha time off made me soft. This looks like a great month so far. I really love how everybody does their own thing, but shares it here. You guys are great, and ladies!  
I wont be around to post this for a few days, so I am just gonna drop a link. I have been after this one since I first started collecting, been outbid numerous times. Let several of them go for condition or linen issues....but finally, what I feel is a good price, and great condition I have the Colossus of New York and the beautiful Mala Powers in my collection. I was aiming on a future collection of 50s inserts..featuring monster/girl mashups..but I couldn't pass this one sheet up.

A cool, 50's image.

Nice score and congrats on the pick up, Chris.  

And a little visual modify to your above post, my friend. 

[50s]

What a collosal acquisition, congrats 

[Mirosae]

Congratulations  Chris!

I hate to tell you what he sold for low money before I saw them.

Is there a story here, Rich? I always find it interesting to hear about the ones that got away.

[DekeThornton]

Gentlemen, I just had to buy these two covers. In many ways I know  these are just  the cover not the whole magazine. But I  have been waiting  for them long enough. So, now mine.

Artists is the best in town Emil Flohi.. (in my own personal  book!)

To echo everyone else, those are really great images, Rosa!

Will they be going up on the wall?

A few of my March pick-ups. I'm usually pretty horror-centric, but it's been a good couple of weeks for classic 80's comedy on EMP, so I switched gears...

Heathers


One Crazy Summer (This one is as close to NM as I've seen for an 80's poster, gorgeous paper)


Real Genius (int'l) (I had never seen this artwork before, and after researching it a bit could only find it again on Aussie daybills)


Something Wicked This Way Comes (one of the first movies I remember watching as a kid that genuinely scared me)

[Mirosae]

Is Heathers any good?? It looks like a good flick ( Friday afternoon, couch, cuddle, and cocktail) heheh

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw!!!

I think you nailed everything, but the cuddle part

Nice one, Chris. I always thought this poster truly popped. The huge sun image SO totally works and is so '80s! 

I have a rolled copy, too (one of the "work rescues") and have really always enjoyed it.

Congrats on all your wins!

One Crazy Summer.

Never heard of this film, and I think very highly of Cusack and Moore.  Is the film any good, the poster's Sun notwithstanding?

It is decent.  It is more or less a Better off Dead prequel, but not nearly as good as better off dead.  If you are a fan of those 2, it is definitely worth watching.

yeah.. one insert comes up and sells for $49
another one comes up and sells for $49
another one comes up and sells for $39

all BIN

I need that poster, so now I have it that ebay search is a tab that opens up when I start the browser

another seller posts one and before I see it, it sells for $19
now I'm watching harder
another #*&%@* sells for $29

I'm getting seriously pissed off now
another sells
another sells

9 copies of this damned insert sold by 2 separate sellers on two separate coasts and I missed every damned one

and each time I can't be missing them by minutes.. so I contact the guy. too late.. all gone, he doesn't know anything about the other guy.

of the 9, 4-5 were bought by one dealer...
I have no clue how he did it
 2 were bought by another
ebay search notices don't go out that fast

very irritating

[50s]

^ maybe they used software to detect if the seller added new items. I was using an app only days ago which finally advised me a change to a web page occurred which was a cost change on a web page but can be configured to detect any change on the web page. I set it to check every 1 minute and it even checks pages that first need you to login

Same here. He is soooo gooood in High Fidelity.

Better Off Dead is one of the more underrated comedies of the 1980's, definitely worth checking out if you've never seen it. The paper, in VG or F, is pretty high on my ISO list.

Damn. I've narrowly lost out on my fair share of BIN deals where I was hours or minutes too slow, but 9 in a row? Frustrating. Surely the 10th time will be the charm. Good luck!

I have to also put in a plug for The Sure Thing.  It's not the same wacky humor of Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer (both written/directed by Savage Steve Holland), but is also a great movie if you are in the mood for some 80's Cusack.

I would agree Better Off Dead is just a classic. "I want my two dollars", "French fries, French dressing, French bread", the hamburger singing Van Halen, so many magic moments.

One Crazy Summer is a tier below, but still perfectly watchable.

Speaking of 80's Cusack comedies... Any "Hot Pursuit" fans here?

Never seen it, is it worth a watch Matt?

Not really. Unless you like 80s comedy Cusack    Look for a young Ben Stiller in a minor role (and his dad? If I remember correctly)!
