Ha ha I know what you mean, I think 99% of modern posters are boring, and was keeping these as I don't throw anything out, and some day I maybe able to swop a few of them for a Bride of Frankenstein teaser, when the market drops out of Uni-horror. ;)
This is my point in a 20 years time who will buy an old Uni-Horror poster. Not our kids, but they may want a Harry Potter... I'm sure some kid who's dad has left him with a load of dusty old monster posters will gladly swap them for a Potter, or a Nemo. That's more than likely been loaded on to a memory card so they don't have to bother with big lumps of paper. ;D
Got around 90 or so of these ...
... Managed to get them into 5 boxes, not tubes ...
Some pretty decent ones in there including a Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith Darth Vader version that was printed accidentally with the wrong ink - only three exist.
All are for sale of course ha ha ...
Best,
Adam

Always be prepared Jeff... Just incase I can get a swop I'll hang on to them. ;)
... have they always been produced as this size is sometimes known as a 6sht in the U.K. ?
Ye, UK 1 sheets are UK International 1 Sheets.
But Bus stop posters are 48x72....and not 60x40
I think the older English bus stops were around 39 x 59 and only recent ones are this larger size.This is one of those threads that has been around all day but just gets more interesting as the hours tick by.
and a Quad crown is 30"x40" Quad meaning 4 times bigger.Im very confused,is it width first then height, or height first then width?
30(W)x40(H)
Me thinks this needs more research....
In mathematics, width goes first.It does indeed Chop.
you should hear how long the "running zombie" argument goes on for when I get out with my horror nerd friends.

Stew, it's more confusing than you think, as there are vertical Quad Crowns, also the 60"x20" commonly called a door panel, is still a Quad Crown, due to the surface area...Thanks Paul,one of the reasons I'm confused is probably because I'm used to film ratios,just as a number most people will recognise is 16:9. Sixteen being the horizontal 9 the vertical so that's the way i have always regarded any expression of area..
I always look at film ratios as 1.66, or 2.35, 1.33, etc... this 16:9, 14:9 etc, is you young fellows and your Digital shenanigans. ;)Yeah yeah i know you would get what i was talking about but its still 2.35:1,not 1:2.35 ;)
LUMBERING...makes for better head shots.
i have several as well, i am actually going to be dumping the 30 or so banners i have left around here. the bus shelter store so much better. the problem with them is the competition is pretty hot on the decent ones that make it to market, just not enough getting out in the wild.
That American Hustle poster is NOT worth more than maybe $40-50!
To you. Obviously, it was worth more to someone on that day.
I was down in Venice (CA) today and I came across a Godzilla (2014) bus shelter, held down with bricks on the 4 corners, lightly covered with blown sand and torn at the bottom, on the boardwalk...
No one was around. The "rescuer" in me was half tempted to roll it up and bring it home... but the owner, Im sure, was lurking somewhere... :-\
Nice Mike... Just so you know, the bottom three are not bus shelters but NYC subway posters.
Nice nevertheless.
T
The real question is... what are you doing in Venice on a hot Monday afternoon? Buying a bong?
T
I'd have to get my med card first.. from one of the workers in their "greens" passing out their cards along the boardwalk... ;D
I'm so official, that way...
I've always wondered about those? I get my pot straight from my neighbor across the street, so I've never had to buy it. In college maybe, but not for years. Do they actually sell weed in there?
What... you tell them you have back pains and they give you a card? What's funny is that the cops are parked 20 feet away.
T
T, did you take the photo outdoors?
I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd ask my question here to keep the information centralized.
Regarding US bus shelters, what type of material should they be? I've bought a few bus shelters and they are all that heavy coated material (vinyl?), so I figured that's how all bus shelters were. However, I recently bought another bus shelter and this one was not that material. It was pretty much just paper. Thicker than a one sheet, for sure, but not that heavy coated stuff. What gives? Could there be two different prints of the same size but used in different locations? For example, the heavy coated stuff goes outdoors in actual bus shelters, while the non-coated paper goes in something like an IMAX light box? Any help from our local bus shelter collectors would be much appreciated. thumbup
