  Very well done tribute poster, Mel.  The hobby is lucky that you use your skills for the betterment of it and have not turned to the dark side.   wynk  Brian


Well Brian if a poster dealer put on a Black Friday special on a Star Wars Birthday Cake poster, I might have to pepper spray you to take out the competition :)

  Well, you might have to turn to something more than pepper spray.  Now, I have ZERO interest in finding out whether I can withstand a tazer attack.

Back from Thanksgiving vacation. The Big Lewbowski showed up cool and original.  It took mucho MET (money, effort & time) to get it, but it was worth it. It will join the "ridiculously rare 1990s posters" section of my apt.

Congrats on the Lebowski win.  One of the best for that classic film.

I've been a bit slack about changing posters lately but here's the new Jan 2012 office lineup (sadly my camera is on its last legs after I dropped it - the focus works very erratically).

Looks pretty great to me.

From the Champagne in Paris to the Sting, your floor show is always getting even better.

I'm slowly rotating posters nowadays but I believe most of these are new:


Nice ET. Is that the 27x41 or the 27x40.5?

I also want the Pulp Fiction Lucky Strikes recall.

Wow, you are very ambitious!  I picked up both of these relatively cheap on Ebay, although you have to be quite religious about checking the auctions every week to find exceptional deals.

I "obtained" a 27x41 reprint of the 40x60 Barbarella poster to create the Barbarella corner:

Changed my mind - now it's the Butch Cassidy corner - three of the best four BC posters IMHO - US Style A, US Style B, Japan B2, just missing UK quad:

Mel. I can't help but notice a MASSIVE upswing in the quality of what you display.

Looking back over the pages of these threads (and seeing where you came from and where you are now) is like seeing a documentary, "The Evolution of a Movie Poster Collector".

Great stuff!

Hey I like my PW poster! And I only paid $10 for it. Maybe I'll consign it to Dave and it'll sell for $500 :)

Thanks but I can't really say I've matured as a collector. I tried to get "The Trip" poster - prominently featuring a nude woman on an acid trip - in your auction last night but another horny bastard bidder beat me.

Im glad Mel is happy with his collection and the style of posters that he has up now but I prefer the old "Mel Collection" with all the modern posters on the walls!!! ;)
