Greetings from Northern California
« on: June 16, 2015, 01:24:28 AM »
Hi everyone! Just joined and wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I'm a sometime collector and full time admirer of movie posters. Got some popular stuff (Star Wars, Bond, Disney, etc) but nothing too rare or earth shattering, mostly because I can't afford too much more these days. Haha. I like a lot of stuff and my favorite genre is probably 50s sci-fi.

Anyway, I'm blown away by the knowledge and collections I see here. Thanks for letting me in!

MAGG has spoken?  What?? Ha! Yes, I guess I kind of am a big deal around here. Whenever I say something people read it and usually say "Big deal..." and go about their business, instantly forgetting whatever it is I said. Ho hum.

Anyway Northern California, I hope to see you around the forum pages.

CHEERS!

"Rare" and "Earth shattering" should not be associated with movie posters (unless you own a London After Midnight, of course).  We're all pretty much in the same boat here so fear not to share your collection with us.

And welcome.

I suppose when the big quake hits everyone in California will be either in the same boat or without a boat altogether...

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I'll take some photos of what I've got up and post them. The posters I have up are very well known though some are a little pricey. (Thanks grandma!)

My grandma was very generous. She'd give me cash gifts over the years but insisted I spend it on things I liked so it'd be like gifts from her. I ended up using that money to buy most of my pricier posters I own.

The stuff I have displayed is all well known though now that I've been collecting a little longer I'm really liking some of the more esoteric styles. I'll post pics when I can figure out how to shrink the images from my phone.

And remember, too, you have to host the image files on a pic site like photobucket or flickr, first. Then paste the jpg url between the "insert image" tags.That may also help with the resizing issue, too.   thumbsup.gif
