have you been wondering what I'm doing lately? Well, I've been busy!
at the end of June I bought the contents of a movie poster store in Hollywood and I've been busy ever since moving stuff. Moving stuff. Moving stuff
I've moved so much stuff, that I wonder if it's ever going to end. These are just some pics. All these posters had to be removed from their former location and there were rows & rows of them piled on top of and next to cabinets. Then I had to move most of them into storages as they had to be removed from where they were. Then I had to drive them back as I could.. So far it's 3 trucks full. Here are some of the pics.. just a taste of what there was/is

you know what Vick, by quantity it only is about 25-30% of the posters I have total and APFers have already been buying the stuff. Both my sales offers and my auctions have been entirely from this material since the beginning of last month

If only the poster store had been in Mexico and not Hollywood, I would be all over it.

Tell me about it, I was in Mexico for three weeks (a long trip by plane, 22 hours plane) and really I haven't found a single poster shop there...  Found some lobby cards in antique shop in centro historico and sure, in the famous antique market at Lagunilla... but only found three or four sellers and lobby cards were all crap... there was one selling Santo poster at crazy poster, they looked like repro to me, he guaranteed me not !  10 MXN per card, a bit pricey too for crappy stuff :)

Someone said uncut Bieber posters? Do u have any, Richie Rich? 

I got a lot of what that store had to offer, years ago, like 5 rolled mint Revenge of the Jedi, 2 rolled mint Alien advance, 3 rolled mint SW style A, an advance Poseidon Adventure, Deliverance Intl. and more, posters that Richie Rich would now own if I didn't.

What I want is what I missed.  What did I miss, Richie Rich?

Whoa, I take it back.  I bought a dozen or so of my earliest posters there when I started collecting in the '80s.  Good score.
