Not trying to promote his stuff because he's a member of this forum, but Russ runs a damn good blog.

Check it out at http://meansheets.com/

Really informative if you love movie posters.

For those of you who still haven't visited Russ' blog, do yourself a favor.  Really informative and well designed.

Thanks, T., I appreciate the kind words! And on a personal note, though I sometimes give Thierry a hard time for out-bidding me on all those beautiful Frenchie 1p's out there--I can personally attest to the man's generosity, as just a few weeks ago, I badly wanted a poster on ebay.fr that refused to ship to USA (you know how difficult the French can be!)...

Anyway, so who do I call to help vouch for me and complete the transaction? Eatbrie, baby! That's what I call a true International movie poster friend.

Okay, enough w/all the mushy gushing...The next original Mascii that goes up for auction under $10 is all MINE!!!

You forgot to mention that I actually hand carried it all the way from Paris to L.A.

Thought I'd keep that on the down-low, so customs doesn't hassle "The Movie Poster Smuggler"...

Sadly, one of the best poster blogs out there is ending.

Good work, Russ.  You have better taste in posters than anyone I know and your blog certainly reflected it.

That a bummer. There was so much work put into it. I can understand if it became too time consuming (maintaining Wordpress and its plugins is a pain in the butt and also the blog writeups must be time consuming too). The write ups I enjoyed as much as the posters. However, MeanSheets is on Pinterest with poster pics but no writeups. Thanks MeanSheets for having provided the great MeanSheets blog.

This might be a good time to mention to those who have poster websites, that adding a "Pin it" link next to your poster images will help get your web page circulated more on the web via social media. Pinterest seems to be booming and is tailored for sharing images via social media. Here is an example of how I use the link on my site ("Pin it" button located under the first image)
