This only one choice seriously limits me.  I buy from Rich and Bruce fairly equally with some ventures into ebay, from MOPO and from members here.  The only choice I have is "I can't say", but that isn't fair either.

I VERY rarely tell anyone where I buy from, I feel it costs me money if I do (loose lips and all that).  I don't mind mentioning a dealer's name if I buy from them as everything is out in the open for all to see, so that's fair game. Otherwise I'm Lips Sealed

I'm a new collector. I mainly buy form e-bay simply because they have a large variety and I don't know many other sources yet =/.

Welcome!  Stick around and learn.  We'll take care of you.

But, don't waste your time on Japanese posters. There's a lot of people who go after them but frankly, they're worthless and you shouldn't spend your hard earned money on them.

"What happened to all the people?" Mystified MPF Member, February 20, 2010

"I actually quite like the name Peanut."  Andy Neal on MOPO, April 22, 2010

Thierry:  Type the word APF on MPF and it spells: "Banned due to malicious unsolicited private message ".

Charlie to the guy who lost to EatBrie:  You just got "T-boned"!  Happens to the best of us...  Wait until you get "Holidazed"!

Thierry to Silhouette:  Please tell her it's a tiny part of my collection so she doesn't think I'm a total creep.  Oh wait, no, I am a total creep.

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice!

I was actually looking to get a Destroy All Monsters poster. Are Japanese posters bad of a buy?

Welcome Galatea. I would also recommend staying well away from huge posters like 3 and 6 sheets and big Italian ones like 2 Fogli and 4 Fogli. They are so expensive to frame that this takes all the fun out of collecting them.

Don't listen to these jokers Galatea... Holiday collects Japanese paper and he's trying to limit his competition!
