Sorry to slightly change the subject Chaps but... Mel, I wasn't comparing Quad for 1Sht, it was a generalisation... just because a poster of any kind has too much text, or blank space, doesn't mean it's valueless, or second rate.

Without looking anywhere, how would you rate/value these.

No, I like Paul's originals before Harry's 'fix-up.'
Those are two crackin' examples of type-only classics. Yee-haw!  thumbup

Text Only Thread ... Brilliant.

Paul - erm, what can I say, your reply which turned into the first post of this thread was spot on and such a kicker.

Hey Paul, you gotta cut me a break, my good man. I'm the one who suggested this thread to the god-mods!

Yes, those are terrific, BTW

heres a cute one...



ok this isnt a poster but a large snipe, I still like it



Boring, but signed by Leatherface (the new one that is - not Gunnar Hanson - although I do have his autograph)



OK this REALLY isnt a poster but I might get it framed with my Blade Runner insert.

Nice posters, Paul.  Love the DRACULA.  thumbup

The only contribution I can make to this Text Only thread is this STAR WARS 'B' Teaser. 



I haven't shot mine yet, so I borrowed this pic from Dave's Cinemasterpieces.  I believe this one was sold, so I don't think Dave will mind.  Mine is also folded with GAU logo and with less fold wear than this one....

I've been thinking of selling or trading it.  I know this isn't the proper thread, but if anyone's interested, you know where to find me....

Ted,

I much prefer your B teaser to the other SW examples given. The spacing, variation in font sizes and amount of Empty, black background seems more evenly balanced, IMHO. Just a preference, of course.

Yes, I agree.
It even has that great first line, "a long time ago..."

Now that's the kind of stuff I would buy Harry.

How strange, this thread starts and some one includes this in with a few other posters I buy from them. Anyone any ideas about it?

I'm guessing he didn't go to Design College... ;)  A good thing you young fellows are getting into this game. New stuff is not my forte.
