How did you get yourself to take the break?....

I got a PhD!  A doctoral defense isn't something I would wish upon my worst enemy, but it did get me to focus for a few months!

Do you ever work?

I mean, between collecting posters and rotating your 2,000 frames, you must be pretty busy.

Updated the poor mans Bond wall.  


Ever evolving as Im waiting on a couple of posters and a frame for this Goldfinger rerelease...


Put the top half of my Zorba Tatekan in one of my B2 frames so I could at least hang some of it in the hall while it awaits its proper framing.

Ok. Not really much to show compared with everyone else here, but here is my comic/movie poster room.
The Pulp Fiction is of course a reprint, but it is a nice 27x40 reprint.
One of these days I may break down and drop the $200 on a real one.
Sorry about the large photo size. I will make future pics smaller.






I also just got these in the mail from Dale a couple of days ago.





I plan on getting a light box from River City Theater Lightboxes to change out some of my better DS posters. I plan to put it where my Pulp Fiction poster is now. That is unless some of you think their lightboxes or lightboxes in general are a bad idea. They claim to have good UV protection on their site.

Very nice Arcade.
While I don't have any of their lightbox fixtures, I have heard good things about Riverside, including their venting system which prevents moisture from accumulating and causing the poster to stick to the glass.
Somebody here must have one...

BTW, that CHASING AMY is FINE!

Looks good, Arcade.

I purchased a lightbox from River City on Ebay, and had some issues.  The first being it did not work when I plugged it in.  The second being the guy would not give me a refund, and I had to file a claim with Ebay.  He did say that he would send me a ballast for free, and $100 worth of posters, but if I wanted to build a lightbox, I would not have bought one that was already assembled from him in the first place.  He said that he would have to charge me a $100 re-stocking fee, so I filed a claim under the Buyer Protection Program which basically states that if the item is defective or faulty, the buyer is entitled to a full refund (without a $100 re-stocking fee).  The third issue was that there was paint in the grooves where the poster slides into, a thick coat of paint that was brushed on, or just sprayed too thick, and even if it had worked, I would not have felt good putting anything in there resting against paint like that (especially an Avatar lenticular).  The boxes he has that are not the painted black kind would possibly not have that issue, and looking back on it, they do look nicer for a little more $. 

I still had to pay $70 or $80 bucks to ship it back, and had a huge, dirty box sitting in my kitchen for a couple weeks.  The lightbox didn't have a switch either, so you would have to hook it up to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch, or plug it in and unplug it all the time.  Lastly, I'm not sure about the acrylic between the poster and the lights, but the acrylic on the outside was not UV protective.  Other than that, it was a pretty nice lightbox.   :D

Ouch, Neo's experience speaks for itself.
I can understand a bad ballast, but hey...a good supplier makes things right without a hassle.
Thanks for the heads up there Loco One. I guess when I'm ready to deck out my underground theater, I'll be shopping elsewhere.

I would NOT recommend them.  Any respectable business owner such as Bruce, Dave, Ed King, Colin, Hideyuki, Armin (the dealers from whom I have bought most of my collection - whose reputations precede them  ;)) would do as Brude said, that is "make things right without a hassle."  Buying from River City Theater Lightboxes was a big waste of time, money, and energy.

Thanks. Chasing Amy was my very first original movie poster purchase.
Love the film and the poster.

Thanks for the info on the lightbox. Sounds like I will need to be careful and ask questions before hand.
Did you buy the two bulb system or the four bulb. Four kind of sounds like overkill for my little room.

And Dale, wish I had extra copies of X-Men to trade you. But as you know those two issues now command a small fortune.
I am however getting ready to sell issues 112,114 and 115 all in CGC graded 9.4 if you are interested.
What are the other 10 books? I have tons of raw copies as well, all in great shape.
I almost won your poster lot auction today but got out bid by a couple of bucks.
I purchased some of your lots a couple of years ago. Very nice stuff for a great price.

I got the four bulb system, as I figured if it was too bright, then I could simply remove 2 of the bulbs.  And I forgot to mention that River City Theater Lightboxes said that if I wanted to return the lightbox, he would have to charge me the cost of shipping it to me, a $100 re-stocking fee, and of course I would have to cover the cost to ship it back. 

Sometime soon I will probably get a lightbox from Stargate Cinema and start a thread about it.

I tried to find my list today and cant locate it. I will have to dig the box out with the start of the run again to see what is missing. I bought comic base and the scanner to inventory everything, but who has time. I don't even keep up with alphabetizing the new stuff as it rolls in anymore.

Hey Neo,

you could always build one. Pretty simple to do and I know a few people on this forum has done it. I think Holiday was the first and I used some of his techniques to build mine. I know Chad, Supraman079 has also built one.

Chad's: http://web.mac.com/supraman079/iWeb/Movie%20Poster%20Collection/Lightbox.html

Here is mine: http://www.moviepostermadness.com/Movie_Poster_Madness/Light_Boxes.html

I cant get Holiday's link to work - Hey Holiday fix your "old site" link

CJ, that is awesome.
I absolutely love the three Alice posters all together and lit up.
My left side poster of those three should be arriving tomorrow. It is one that will for sure go in my lightbox whenever I get one.

Neo, I noticed that the four bulb box on River City's web page is not much more than the two, and I guess you are right about being able to remove the bulbs if it is too bright. I will check out stargates as well.

Dale, no hurry, my X-Men are not going away anytime soon. I hope I have some that you need.
I do not know if this link will let you in if you are not a CGC member but I will try it anyway.
This should be a link directly to my X-Men #1-300 graded collection. I currently have the 11th best set in the nation and I still have a lot of early issues to fill in.
I started out with issues 94-143 and have slowly started filling in from there.
