Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone had a Clerks poster for sale

I own the same Clerks II poster, just wondering why it was mounted on foam core? Isn't that rather taboo amongst collectors? On another note, I'm thrilled my Clerks poster is retailing for $125 these days!

I actually have a clerks 2 poster that I got signed by Rosario Dawson at SXSW. We had to do a job with her on a project for Google and we went out for drinks and stuff, it was pretty fun. Hoping to get my poster signed by Kevin Smith at Comikaze in a couple weeks

    Kevin is easily approachable, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Is he doing any of his live podcasts during that weekend? If so, you may be able to get autographs from Jay Mewes and Scott Mosier as well. If you bring the original Clerks poster, I see Marilyn Ghigliotti will be signing too.

It was mounted when I worked at a promotions firm that did advance screenings of movies and had a Q&A.
I wish it wasn't mounted too. If it wasn't signed I wouldn't have kept it. I have about 5 posters that are signed and mounted. I guess I should soak it for a day or two.

Jason.. any idea what what was used to mount them? Just guessing here but i wouldnt be surprised if some kind of 77 spray adhesive might have been used. Those would be a bugger to get unmounted, I have a feeling.

It is could be a spray adhesive because I have seen the printer we used mount some in his shop for us. It could also have been a adhesive that was rolled onto the foam, seen it done their that way too (probably equally as bad. Neither approach are meant to be reversible.  so its not water soluble? guessing a heat gun may not help either once the glue sets. I never looked into it just read a couple posts on APF in the past.  I have about 15 others that are mounted from the same shop to test on first.  Ill soak one of those to see what happens and let you know. maybe benzine is worth a try? i dunno.... Charlie or Dario whats the approach?

[erik1925]

If it was a 77 Spray Adhesive made by 3M (or similar) i dont think these are water soluble.

Good luck with the soak test, in any case!

I ended up buying a legit one at Frank and sons for 40$ and it was nice and crisp so I'm going to take that one. He is doing a podcast the day im going which is saturday so I'm hoping to get it signed by as many of the cast members that are there as possible

Which podcast? Ralph Garmin is also in town, so my guess is Hollywood BabbleOn will be recorded, but that's just those two.

Soaking the Clerks II poster - Please check with Dario or Charlie before doing that. I've asked about having autographed posters line backed in the past and was told the backer couldn't guarantee the signatures wouldn't be destroyed by the process. I think it was the deacidification process, but I'll let the experts chime in.

This poster was reprinted like crazy at the time of release and they are all over the place.  Just so you know...

Nice of you to chime in after Rage said he picked up a legit one, Jason.    You sound like Cinemasterpieces: "There are known reprints and/or reproductions of this poster."

[archie leach]

The vast majority of these for sale are the reprints.  He should still check it out regardless of where he is in the purchase cycle.

[Neo]

We could go to every thread, regarding numerous posters and say "there are known reprints..."  That would be really silly, especially when most people here probably know how to tell if one is an original or not.

[Neo]

Rage, that signing sounds cool.  I remember seeing Clerks when it was first released on video back in the day.  It's a classic, and those guys seem like they're alright.

Well, I didn't say that "there are know reprints", I said that it 'was reprinted like crazy', also, it (the commercial reprint) was sold some theaters at the time, which was highly unusual.  All of which creates a higher than usual level of confusion regarding this poster...

I have no idea where Rage falls on the collector knowledge spectrum, so I just wanted to give him a heads up if he wasn't already aware. No harm, no foul if he's already up on this title and I'd rather err on the side of caution.

What business it is of yours is unclear...

[Neo]

Well, Jason, it's none of your business to tell a guy that "the vast majority of these for sale are the reprints," implying that his poster is probably a reprint, although he just said it's a legit one.  The next time you make a claim like that, afterward just say "and I base that on absolutely nothing," or provide some statistical analysis that supports it.

[Rage1073]

It's ok guys, I'm 99% sure it's real, I haven't been doing it long but I have picked up a few "skillz" along these past couple years lol. Thanks for the concern though, if it turns out it isn't real then it's ok, it's not something I'm planning to ever sell or get rid of, love the movie and I'm looking forward to the experience of the con itself

[Neo]

Right on, Rage.
