Thanks guys for the compliments from some and - er - "encouragement to improve" from others

The Midnight Blue is a UK quad poster BTW, although I have it hanging vertically. A Google search for "Midnight Blue quad poster" will lead you to at least three UK dealers who have it for $200+.

Otherwise you'll have to check UK Ebay periodically, where I landed mine for $75, including shipping to US.

Some new shtuffs I put on the wall:

LB Pacific Vibrations:

Hallway - French 1P for Bettie Boop and Italian 2P (enormous!) for Fearless Vampire:

Shows scale compared to US OS:

It took me an hour to assemble this - used both DS and SS acid-free tape to permanently join the panels:

Jaws first re-release & Follow Me (always best to stay on dry land....)

Of course there are a few exceptions, but for the most part, Mel and I have an extraordinarily similar taste on posters...

So if you were somehow deported due to a bureaucratic error caused by my cousin, I could just move into your house and wouldn't have to change a thing.

Finally got around to putting up the next round of posters - some good ones rolled in this month:

Den - Oddball Beauties

Den - Action

Dining Room - Misc

Dining Room - my favorite LOTR posters (I'm re-reading the series for the first time in many years)

Hallway - Alamo & large hung

Kitchen - international beauties this month

I love that Italian Fearless Vampire Killers. The title is one of my favorite movies, and this poster is the only one I'm missing in my collection.

Give it to me, Mel.

I'm liking it too. That wall is looking great.

Kudos, Mel. The ever-changing paper is very cool.

I am especially fond of the Snow White mirror poster. I've been waiting for one to come around on eBay to not much luck.

Anthony.. this seller has 2 copies for sale on ebay right now for 75.00 each.

This seller has one, as well:

No clue if that is high or not, as this period isn't my area of interest. Good luck.

I should rephrase...

"I'm a cheap bastard and am waiting for a 99 cent auction."

That is if Dave puts it up.

eBay has yielded me some of the greatest deals you could even imagine. Like...

-$40 for a rolled Back to the Future
-$42 for a Style B Empire Strikes Back
-$5 for a Jurassic Park teaser (no credits)
-$51 for a Raiders of the Lost Ark Daybill

I just sit and wait. As soon as somebody lists one for under ten dollars, it's usually mine for a fraction of what it's worth. That's why it always amazes me so much that auctions through Cinemasterpieces get so high.

MY MAN!!!

This is a smart one. Wait, and you will find. Run and you will pay. I agree with you, Anthony, $75 is too much. You should be able to snag one for $30-35. Maybe not tomorrow, but your turn will come. I am constantly looking for about 300-400 posters. That's one for every day of the year. If one doesn't pop up, another will, and thus you slowly build a collection at minimal cost.

I am proud to have you on this forum.

And Mel, it is so nice to see you refine your taste. Your collection is getting better by the moment. You're growing in the hobby, which is what it's all about. I am too. My taste of today is different from yesterday and tomorrow. I am learning from all of you, and growing.

I only have one neg... the gold frames.

I am actually considering calling Sue and ordering 4 of the gold delux ones for the home theater.

Mel packs his walls at a density I couldn't imagine doing, but it works. I also love the mix of vintage and new, as well as the theme walls.

Glad to hear it, us cheapskates gotta watch each other's backs.

I do however have my moments of weakness. If there is a poster I really want, I've been known to get impatient. If an auction surfaces that I wind up losing, I throw a financial tantrum and try to buy it from people for a princely sum I will regret spending. That hasn't happened in several months now though.

Hi my name is Anthony, I'm six months sober, and I like cartoons.

UK Ebay a few months ago. Yeah, the Glasgow Film Theatre seems pretty cool....

Could not agree more, two first rate posters Mel.
