Pardon the terrible photos. I am finding that as my wife gets better and better equipment, my ability to make it do what I want becomes more degraded........

For those asking, the 2nd poster is a Russian "Enemy Mine" poster with hand written characters -- it was probably used in the Caucuses or somewhere similar (Azerbaijan maybe?). I know this because Schan outbid me for the poster

Thanks for the clarification. I thought that was going to be the movie but as odd as some of these posters are it could have been anything right down to free willy.

Nice wins, Schan.

The Tibor Helenyi, Hungarian Robocop is rad.

Awesome pickups kovacs01! Seconding the others, what is the second one?

Jeff, believe it or not this image was actually only used on three US printed posters, the two Revenge of the Jedi one sheets, dated and non, and the Spanish from above which was also printed here. I have yet to see the image used in any other production poster from the original release. It has been used a million times since then though including the most common 1993 10th anniversary Killian one sheets which had three different styles plus the proofs that are as common as the regulars it seems.

Mike,

I was meaning that (like Struzan's art for BTTF), this same image was also used by other countries' posters as well, to advertise the film initially. I wasn't referring to its uses in the time since.

I think its a very cool image. And is likely why it was used around the world.

Thanks all! I think I have purchased more posters already in 2016 than I did in 2013-2015 combined.

Sorry Matt, I do not recall realizing at the time who I was bidding against. I think the painted on script is Mkhedruli, which would make it most likely from Georgia. The other 2 Hungarian's are A1s.

Awesome lot there Schan... congrats on the haul.

I was finally able to grab a poster I've been looking for, for some time now... 2001: A Space Odyssey (Hungarian A1). Big thanks to Matt/Harry Caul for helping me reel it in. Can't wait to get this one up on my office wall!

Nice, Chris. Congrats again on acquiring one of your grails.

teamweapon · « **Reply #86 on:** April 14, 2016, 12:27:49 PM »

NICEeee 2001 !!! i like that one, i HIGHLY doubt i'll be getting one any time soon though

haha

well i FINALLY burst my speed cherry! i dont why its taken me so long to buy any but, thats how the cookie crumbles.

love the design for injury blackmail, stark text with a stylised image! and bankaku rock is just a classic!
also got a couple of B2s with them, ill stick a few of them up later

also got this which is unlike what i usually buy, but i couldnt leave it sitting there! never seen it before, for the 2013RR.
im guessing i paid a little less than the original would have cost me haha

erik1925 · « **Reply #87 on:** April 14, 2016, 12:55:42 PM »

Cool JP stuff there, TW!

And that Freaks RR is awesome. Love that it re-used original artwork, too.

Undead · « **Reply #88 on:** April 14, 2016, 02:19:06 PM »

Love the 2001! It's on my wish list.

Another British import arrived today. An actual proof quad for the Return of the Jedi complete with inky finger prints in the borders.

Still waiting on more imports that seem to be sitting in customs limbo for some reason. Have an Aussie piece that has been in Customs for over a week now and driving me nuts because it is one of my favorite posters and one I have never owned a copy of. Hopefully soon.

erik1925 · « **Reply #89 on:** April 14, 2016, 02:28:30 PM »

Such great color on that quad, Mike. Congrats!!

erik1925 · « **Reply #90 on:** April 14, 2016, 02:42:32 PM »

Mike, How did you learn or determine that this was a proof copy? (aside from the inky fingerprints).

It's semantics really, some call untrimmed, some proof, some printers test. I won't get into that argument. In short it is an untrimmed quad that measures roughly 31.5 x 41.5 with registration marks, etc. and ink smudged finger prints. If you look at these when they appear on the typical auction sites they describe these as proofs in many cases. Unlike most of those though this one is untrimmed all the way around whereas they are usually trimmed on two of four sides for some reason including about 1" lopped off of the right side in particular bringing the edge to about 1/4" from the printer info. What is it with them and trimming the right side of things?

erik1925 · « **Reply #92 on:** April 14, 2016, 03:19:23 PM »

Thanks, Mike.

In looking at other copies of this, I had forgotten, too, that they don't have any kind of white border and are full bleed.

Yup, another interesting thing is depending on the side, when these are trimmed down they actually cut off up to an inch of color/print per side for the 30x40 and more for the 27x40 versions beyond removing the white border. This brings the cropping close to the printer info on the right and the NSS info on the bottom. Less is trimmed on the other edges.

Actually I never thought about it until now but I think every quad I have unless it is a white background which does not count is full bleed except for the Triffids.

Nice pick ups, dude! I need me some speed posters, cool format.

Here are a few I got recently...I was inspired to share this as it's a sort of cousin of Mike's lovely poster above

Return of the Jedi Quad (Toys version)

The Assassin Quad

Don't Look Now B2 - I've always been creeped out by this design, what a scary doll.

Hardware B2

Some great additions to all your collections. Great pick ups everyone.

erik1925 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:09:18 PM »

Nice pickups, Tob. I always thought that ROJ quad was killer, too. Love the red background. Is the toys reference meaning that certain theaters offered toys/merchandise in the lobbies? If so, what a great way to pick up SW items, along with the popcorn and soda!

erik1925 · « **Reply #99 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:21:59 PM »

Had this come today.

Another Argentinean OS for the French comedy called Les Gueux Au Paradis (1946) (English title: Hoboes In Paradise). I happened to see this movie at a film screening a few years ago and thought that Raimu and Fernandel were very funny together.

The art is by Osvaldo Venturi. The color is so vibrant and it looks like the original, large portrait art was done in watercolor and pencil.
