Some really cracking posters on this page! 'Fraid I can't see the first two pages as my computer freezes when trying to load all the images :'( Mel you had some serious fun last year, you must be really happy with all the quality posters you bagged! I love that King Kong poster Rick, stunning, and love the condition with all its history.

These are my best purchases of 2011:

This how I started the year... still no guarantee it's authentic but until someone proves otherwise I'm going with it ;D


Really love this variation with the additional fog rolling across the lake.


The only poster I've posted before receiving (I know, I know!), can't wait to unroll this beauty when it arrives.


Couldn't believe it when I heard these had turned up, great way to end the year.

Hey, I don't remember you getting this.  Let me guess: You found it for $5 on some Siberian auction?  8)

$150 BIN on eBay about 5 minutes after it was posted last spring.  It has some tape residue on the middle fold at the top and bottom, but I was pleased regardless :)

By the way, I think I need to use something other than Picasa to shrink down my pics... those look terrible for as much time as I put into photographing them!  Blurry as all hell.

I'd love to have this and the Eames chair in front of it....  ;)  Maybe in 2012.  Gonna work hard on my Eastwood and Kelly stuff this year...

I'm pretty sure that fate threw me that $50 Star-Wars-collection bone after I missed out on the 1931 attic stash.  I was crushed when the big bidders showed up.  I bet combined those posters sell for north of $150K easy.  Maybe $250K.  An original Maltese Falcon, both styles of Cimarron, both styles of Public Enemy, Style B Little Ceasar, both styles of Seed, Dishonored... and probably 20+ more. hitself

Seeing them all I pick Mel's Astounding She-Monster as the one I want desperately for myself, Paul's GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE quad is a close second and I'm strangely drawn to Chris's Aussie To Have Or Have Not. Ofcourse Bogart is a badly drwan boy, but it has a certain something.

Problem is, when you are sitting in the Eames chair that is the *one* poster you can't see!  I just took this quick stitch for you to show you the view...  Notice that the chair is pointed straight at Grace :)

I've been like that for most of the Christmas Holidays, Slippers on feet up, and it was F**kin great. Now I'm back to work tomorrow, I've started doing some of the jobs I've been putting off. Why!!

Oh well, all good things must come to an end... :(

Amazing...

Forgot about those Kong heralds (did you also get the French In a Lonely Place this year?) Regardless, you had MANY great buys in terms of quality and price (and yes I am a dark shade of green)

I dig Mel's ASTOUNDING SHE MONSTER and VOODOO WOMAN, but these two from 1968 really wind my watch....
Great year for Mel, no doubt... clap

I`ve just had a brainwave! (forum: Uh oh )
Seriously,each member pm`s me and  nominates one of there own posters to be voted as "APF Poster selection Winner 2011"
Everyone else selects their favourite..
After all the votes are in,the winner will be awarded a self addressed tube to send it to me....

Bring on the pm`s...
