- Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004 SSR): My first and only poster of the Kill Bill movies - many of the other posters are too violent for me
With it being a QT movie .. Isnt that like saying the Pope is too Catholic ?? ;)Good point but I really can't put something like this up on the wall:
Another off the cabinet today.
It is 5000, they are numbered on the bottom. It took me awhile to hunt this one down.
Yes, but did they actually sell 5,000? I doubt it. I've never spotted any on Ebay and none are listed now. By comparison Ebay is currently listing several Jessica Rabbit mylars and I know Kilian only sold about 1,000 of them.
Another off the cabinet today.

Hey Dale, can you take a shot of it in sunlight - like to see it with full light, like this:

Oh it's gettin' firey. It's going to break 40 bids.
edit: LIT DS in "good-very good" cond. sold after 45min overtime for $255 at 37 bids.
A 1993 (29 x 40.5) original announcing the then upcoming Trois Couleurs series co-written by Kieslowski and Piesiewicz themed in part on the ideals of the French Republic: liberte, egalite, fraternite. The poster was colored and films released in color progression of the French flag. Blue followed by white then red.

Here are a Couple that arived today. My helpful local post man decided it would be a good Idea to lay the package in the snow on the front porch. At least he didn't try to shove it in the Mailbox again. Luckily no posters were damaged.
Best of the new stuff that rolled in today:
Indiana Jones & The Temple of Doom (Japan B1):
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Misc/IndianaJonesTODJapanB1.jpg)
Maybe I'm not so maniacal as some on COMPRESSION MARKS.
UK double crowns (I believe that's what they're called)... 20x30in.
Love the movie, and these 4 are definitely the most elusive posters made for it. I'm really excited.
T.
Well, now I'm damned f#@king glad I didn't give you that Alien B1. Those are really nice, T.
Dude, I get posters all the time, but I haven't been as excited about a new addition than I am right now in a long time. I'm actually thinking of framing them and putting them in the hallway. Me, framing posters!!! That's how excited I am. I'm one of the few who likes Aliens more than Alien. Alien is great, but Aliens is awesome. Definitely one of my top 10 of the 80s.]

Avatar poster in your bedroom. Your French poster case in the hallway and now the new Aliens posters framed. You are becoming a bigger dork than ever before.
Here's a quiz: Who originated the term "compression marks" in relation to posters? You shut up, Erich, you know the answer. ;-)
Maybe you do, Carson?
Dr. Hackenbush... I don't know if your comment was addressed to me. Regardless, what does HTF mean?
The Explorers - International (UK) one sheet - This is a fairly hard to find style, particularly rolled. It's radically different to the US one sheet and is notable in that it features the alien creature not seen on any other poster for this film (to my knowledge).

Even though I know you're having a laugh . . . Or are you!? . . . Hmm??
Anyway, you can take the piss all you like ha ha . . .
. . . What I want to know is why YOU think I would lie about what you are referring to???
On a serious note though, it does look bad on me when some of you still comment on that stuff, even though I know what I have said to you guys is the truth . . . Do you see what I mean??? I couldn't care less that you say that crap, what bothers me is that when people read this stuff they get a perceived idea of me; one that is more often than not wrong.
Ad
Eatbrie, I can't believe no one commented on your Dr. No yet... but let me be the first to congratulate you! That French poster (its smaller no, maybe daybill size-ish?) is one of my all time favorite bond posters.
Thanks for the comments fellas.
Carson, believe me, I am capable of mediocrity; just ask my wife (badum-tish). Don't be too disappointed when you see a Frodo looking down on my collection site though ;D
Schan, I don't believe I've ever seen the quad so forgive my assumption. Do you have an image of it?

Really nice Horror action, Dale. Those UK aliens are bad ass.
Movie director, poster framer, book author, web entrepreneur, ninja weaponry expert and back up drummer for Rush when they play Red Rocks at Denver. The Ron Popeil of movie posters... The Zam-man was the first I heard use the term "compression marks". If the Z man ever gets married and has twins, one will be named Uber and the other one Rare.

Adam,
There is a very simple way to end this, once and for all. For months now, years maybe, you've been telling us about this great James Bond collection of yours, but we have yet to see a single piece. Why don't you photograph them, like 5 or 6 of your best pieces, and post them on the forum. No pictures from another site, YOUR pictures. Just saying that you have something doesn't make it true. And please don't answer by saying: "I'm an honest person, all my friends think I'm honest." Show us pictures. It's not that hard. And give me the finger on one of them, that would be proof enough.

I just posted a new section on my site with mostly chirashi. There's about 300 chirashi listed, 2/3 of which I got for free over the years with various tubes, and the rest that I bought for a total of about $25. It's a fun collection, and some great art.

Cool Sherlock posters, Joe.
Good stuff Holiday - here's a few of your chirashi I especially liked (Ninja Cheerleaders!!!):
I went with the cheap bike and the moon.
Been chasing this one for years, finally put in a bid good enough to get one. Little browning of the paper and chipping on the top, but no paper loss. Ideal candidate for a little linen work, but I dont frame much so will leave as is.

Woke up a little hangover after a night of debauchery in Paris, but I still wanted to share the best of my newest acquisitions while I'm here:
A large French (47x63in) of "War of the Worlds" (1953). The artwork is by Roger Soubie, the colors are vibrant, it's linenbacked (not a big fan of linenbacking, but this poster is impossible to come by and was in mint condition prior to linenbacking.)
This is one of those elusive posters that made me want to collect in the first place and I never though in a million years that I would actually own it one day. I'm very exited.
Thierry
Ooo... is that the Dr. No quad that was recently listed on eBay? I think I recognize the scuff by the "As" text. It is in fantastic shape otherwise.
Nice score on the WotW 1-panel Eatbrie! Did you also pick up your Dr. No? What else did you get?
Great, great poster Thierry.
They're all sweet Matt, but I particularly love Scarface. Is the artwork exclusive to the daybill?
There is another quad style for The Iron Giant too which is also great, shame I dont have either anymore.Yes, the one where the giant is laying down and Hogwarth is standing by his face, I believe. Another good one.
I also have the quad and yes, the retro look is appealing. My only gripe about the US sheet is that the Iron Giant looks like he is about to fall on his face. He's lurching forward just a bit. An even better retro look for this title can be found in my Unicorn post from last night. Production designer Mark Whiting did a prototype 1sht that was not used til later as a limited edition giclee print. Check it out.
My, my but this has been a good week for me and quads..
I bought this from fallenangel earlier this week. Great price, great packaging and fast shipping. Thanks fallen..

Clan of the Cave Bear is great, Mel. I can see your taste as a collector refining itself as we speak. Each one of your new additions brings more pieces that definitely show growth in your collecting habits. Cut to a year from today, and your apartment will be filled with originals of Monroe and Hepburn.
Well done.
PS: And I can almost guarantee that you got it for cheaper than what Ho bought it for.
PS2: Really like your new site. Very sleek.

Pulled off the cabinet, not particularly valuable. This is the 27x40, not the moviegoods special.

I was just looking through this now, and wow do I love those Avatar posters. I can't believe Joe was able to score an Avatar lenticular. My movie theater told me no because they had to send it back to the studio. I wonder how some people bypass that? I had seen a few on eBay, one that actually sold for $699.
Also that Once Upon a Time in American poster is awesome!

P.S. Sorry to disappoint you Thierry! Two steps forward, one step back, you know....
Someone told me she has "toe thumbs?" Is that true?
Anyone with a foot fetish will love them.
Who's got 4 great toes, is a shitty actress, has a trashy "I'm trying too hard" look on her face, and thinks she's better than Jolie and Monroe?
A little too whorish for me... not that there is anything wrong with that.
And you're also probably one of those that says Avatar sucks and that Cameron is a hack!
C'mon, laugh with me!
Mel,
That is one serious S.O.S. Are you sure you belong on the East Coast? Is there a possibility that one day you will burn your suit -- sell all your posters -- and head West in a VW camper van with a beaten up surfboard? And if you did have to flee DC, and you could only take one of your posters with you, which poster would that be?
Plus I like surfing but I'm terrified of sharks - and for good reason (http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2010986403_shark05.html)!
Best to stay out of the water all together then (http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/sharks/statistics/beachattacks.htm) as there are much bigger problems than sharks. I'm a diver though so maybe I'm biased. I love the movie Jaws, but man, it sure has made it hard for the poor critters who are slaughtered by the 10s of millions each year by humans (http://news.mongabay.com/2006/1003-sharks.html). No sympathy either...
By the way, that picture below is me handling the bait line on a Great White research trip in South Africa in 1999. I'm usually the only diver that swims towards the sharks we spot them underwater :)
I just bought about 40 Italian posters. Recent stuff, nothing out of this world, but I like the fact that they look different from their US counterpart. Here are my favs of the batch.
The rest of them can be seen on my site: http://www.eatbrie.com/Italian.htm (http://www.eatbrie.com/Italian.htm)
20" of snow!!!!! the Americans always have to go one better. We had 18" two weeks ago.
There is a set of double crowns for Brotherhood that puts each character on its own paper, I have been looking off an on forever and cant seem to find them. I believe Holiday has a set in French humungousaurus size.

that snow is nuts, and here we have to pay for ice, you can go out and fill a bucket.
would if I could, but my daughter is due your way this year as an exchange student.
Some sources (like MovieposterDB) say this is Neal Adams artwork. After looking at it up close, I doubt it. Anyone out there know whether Adams did this? Bruce? Rich?
(http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/COUNTDRACULA-1.jpg)
I would be shocked if this is by Neal Adams. It looks nothing like his line work or his composition style. The art is too simplistic, in my opinion, to be by Adams. Compared to the Westworld posters he did in the same year, you can see the difference in the quality of the art.
Exactly, saturation seems to be the "glow", that is, the depth of that brilliant color. Even these years later the color quality is unmistakable. Man I wish someone would bring back the litho process! I know the S2 group does recreations, etc, but I'd love for a modern studio to break out a lithograph for a poster campaign of a remake. Imagine Peter Jackson using litho for all the new King Kong posters in 2005. Talk about collectible! Thanks for the info, Chris.
^ Thanks for your advice. I don't like keeping posters I don't care about. As I'd not seen any of those movies, I had no idea which were worth keeping.
On another note, how do you trash posters? Do you just throw them in the garbage like anything else?
~ Juli
Have you looked at his comic art, appears similar to me.

in that case id say the best bets are salt, wolfman, and possibly wall street
No, just the one side. You're onesheet is enviable. I wish I could get hold of that. Price was a bit steep, but then again, I haven't seen this poster anywhere other than the onesheet of yours, and, maybe, something Cj has - I don't recall.
I just received this piece in this afternoon ..
Great find - according to IMP, only 500 of these were printed and most went to Terry Gilliam's daughter.
This is exactly what makes collecting modern posters still interesting (IMHO), those 5 or 6 posters every year that are so difficult to obtain. For 2009, this one of course (a beauty), the Moon poster, the Girlfriend Experience poster, and a few handful others I can't think of right now.What warms me is that even after I decided to stop (i.e., slow down) on collecting US onesheets, I still believed Moon and Girlfriend Experience were compelling posters and worthy of adding to the collection. I guess it's nice to actually think I have some taste in these things.
Very nice.

Had a few U.S. inserts arrive last week.
I have finally spotted one difference between the two respective quad posters. the colour of the title in the normal one is blue, in Todd AO it's purple.
I've owned these for a while, but I just got this pair of Marilyn's back from Sylvia. Now, before the linen backing gestapo gets on my ass... trust me they needed it. Niagara was mounted to foam core and had been trimmed by 1/2 in on the top and bottom. And Don't Bother had every foldline reinforced on the back with clear tape which was beginning to yellow. There was also some chipping at the top which was addressed, but that didn't factor into why I got them restored.

Schan
You also have a 60 x 40 Blade Runner, correct? Or is your Blade Runner 30 x 40?No, he has the 40x60 Blade Runner. He held out and laid off buying the 30x40 since the 40x60 was his main goal for that title.

Alright, Schan is trying to steal my attention here... so I'm trying to buy it back with this poster I got tonight. ;)
(http://i21.ebayimg.com/07/i/001/9d/63/9e70_10.JPG)
It is a little rough around the edges (literally) but its oh so rare and oh so beautiful! Its been on my want list for a long time...
Of course I'm kidding Schan, I do love your large format Eastwoods. I'll send a PM if I ever come across a TGTBATU in comparable shape... hopefully before one of these vultures gets it!
Oh well...that's two this week I effed up. Maybe its lack of sleep...
Harry, I thought about contacting that seller to see if he would end early on the Spanish Dr. No, like you seem to have.
Glad you got it, I should have acted on my impulse. Oh well...that's two this week I effed up. Maybe its lack of sleep...
I don't own this one, but the Spanish FRWL is also top notch. It is probably the best representation of Daniela Bianchi from any country. I believe both this and the Dr. No were both painted by a Spanish artist who goes by the initials "MAC" but that's about the extent of my knowledge on them. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info...
Wonder why Gorillas attacking women is such, or rather was, or maybe still is a popular theme?

Great avatar pieces, Joe!
Duuuuude, perfect example of video paper being better than the theatrical paper. That Pitt B1 is the tits. Those are excellent finds, Chad. Nice.
The second poster looks to me like a advert for a magazine, it has an issue number for example. Also the way the copy is laid out makes me think this too. Either way there both sweet posters.
Schan, you too, man. Great Japanese material, especially that Arietty's
this side has Jerry Lewis in Hook, Line and Sinker & Hot-Rod Action and a third unidentifiable title
You said it is double sided... what is on the back?The back is the exact opposite as the front . The same as a modern DS poster. It could be backlit.

I can't imagine very many exist

Really like your Avatar stuff, Joe. What does the cover of the program look like?
A birthday present from Mrs AP... sorry for the bad phone camera pics!
just arrived and should keep me satisfied for a little while
Damn it. I wanted that Chungking Express poster! By they way, you probably already know this, but I'm pretty sure that poster is supposed to be displayed in landscape. Every time I see it listed for sale, however, they show it in portrait.

On second thought, maybe you should send it to me for authentication. It might take a coupla months, but I'll get it back to you....promise.
Nah Ive seen em, its OK, worth a bit, hope you got a bargain, best of the 4 of the DEAD series I think, awsome film.
I traded him straight up for a "Better Off Dead" that I had doubles of.

Quick, give him my email! We needs to trade NOW!!!
Pretty fair trade for Better off Dead, I think. It took me a long time to track down a copy of that poster.Yeah it not like its a common poster. I've only seen a few around. I actually just got a rolled one in great shape so it made the trade easy for me. Someone has got a Better off Dead on ebay right now for like $200!
My additions are, first, a Mad Max 2 (Road Warrior) international one sheet. Following that are 3 pieces for my Boris Vallejo collection:

Can someone please tell me why I like this b2 so much?
Finally tracked down a great quality Kinney original.
Because I don't like folds, better for display.
I know, sacrilege. :-(
Ditch the folds. Folds don't add "character." These would have been rolled if rolling/mailing expenses had been feasible back then. By linen-backing, you're just returning it to what the artist would have wanted in the first place.
Just like "black and white" movies. They would have been made in color had it been feasible at the time.
Ditch the folds. Folds don't add "character."..so said the expert collector of 12 months thumbup eyeroll

The Moulin Rouge is outstanding!! I was tempted to buy one at an auction, but the starting price was a bit too high for me (1200 euros I believe).
Tell that to Fellini, Kurosawa, Hitchcock, Scorsese
I have seen this poster go for less than $200 a few times on Ebay. Two posters stores are currently selling it for 300 euros. So I don't know where you get your 1,200 euros, but it's outrageous.I did not get a thing, because I thought it was too pricy. It was at a regular poster auction with a small amount of movie posters. I think the auctioneer hoped that the combination of design, subject matter (Moulin Rouge oh-lal-la) and size would tempt a random buyer in the room. I see that a lot at these kind of auctions where 50-60 people are actually in the room.

I've seen posters from other countries for "Plague Of The Zombies", and they just don't compare to this French issue, in my opinion. The colors just make the image stand out so eerily. Couldn't pass it up. This will also be the first poster I frame and put up on the walls ;D
The poster is for a documentary of a concert that was thrown right after the fall of the military government that ruled Greece from '67-'74.
Angelo, those are all very cool posters.
I really dig all three, Zombies is just spectacular. Great stuff!
... it has been refolded an extra time, which doubles the number of folds...
Thanks Doc. Nope, its near mint. I'm only going to backing it so it's easier to hang on the wall.
Just picked this up from the seller, wasn't going to risk Aust Post.
Sounds to me like it's time for a Boris Vallejo thread, eh?
Thanks! I didn't see the signature. I agree that any poster with his signature is really by him. Let me know if you ever hear one or more artists' names for the "copycats".
Bruce
What year is that Butch Cassidy re-release from? I don't think I have ever seen it before.
Cool poster!
Cool poster!
Rosario Dawson eluded me twice on ebay.uk. Didn't want to ship to the States. You lucky bastige, Holiday.
Do a search in the US originals (http://entertainment-memorabilia.shop.ebay.com/Originals-United-States-/18829/i.html?_dmd=1&_npmv=3) section of Ebay and you'll spot some Rosario Dawson Sin City posters, including a bus shelter. But Murphy & Alba are superior IMHO.
I like the addition of the blood :D Very nice touch
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad123/hhrussell/sincitydawsonbusrdsh.jpg)
It's like SJP. I saw the recent poster for SITC2 and she's down right hot in it. Yet other times, she howls she's so ugly.
Decided to put this one in the 'acquisitions' thread although this one has been on my short list of white whales (i.e., unicorns) for a long long time.
(http://www.japanesepostergallery.com/images/persona.jpg)
Ya know, it is the Dawson one that made me buy this set. I've never seen her in the regular ds onesheet. I bought these at the time of Murphy's passing, coincidentally, and as sad as it is for her to be gone, I was glad to have this set with her in it in the large bus shelter size.
If you ever need to ship to someone you can trust in the states for re-shipment to you after getting them packed by someone who knows what they're doing, I'm sure you can find one of us over here, me included. Just let us know.
Ya know, sometimes she's hot, and sometimes she looks like a dog. There's a lot to be said about the camera angle.
I got behind with pics, so I decided to try one of these Photobucket slideshows.
There are 17 posters.
Steve, nice poster!Thank you for the information !!
If it is actually adhered the cardboard you'll likely want a professional to remove it.
If the cardboard is just being used as a backing to keep the poster flat/stiff you'll certainly want to change the backing to something acid free (over time that corrugated stuff will leach acid into the poster and eat away at it - which is not good!)
I got behind with pics, so I decided to try one of these Photobucket slideshows.
There are 17 posters.
Just click on The Inner Circle image below and you should go straight to it.

Steve, other than laying it flat with some weight on the top for a very long time, really the best option would be to have it linenbacked.Chris.

Very nice work, Erich. I've been looking for a similar, yet German, piece for several years which uses a yellow/orange in place of the red.
Ok, nobody freak out, I am posting this here so one of our moderators can move it to the right section (just where do great travel posters like this go?)

Where do you find your posters? These are special.
You guys constantly amaze me with these finds.
Erich, B1 or B2? If B1, me extremely jealous. If B2, nice poster.

Ahh always wanted one of those I have Children of the damned framed in my hallway – Belgian posters are often so nice.
This is a newer addition, too. Gotten from Man of a Thousand Faces (Belgian)

My very first two B2's.
Every single country in the world is a very slippery slope!
Addendum: Except for the former Yugoslavia!
Cool. The one on the left really looks like Holiday when he puts his thinking cap on. I'm not kidding, the resemblance is almost uncanny.

Why won't you believe me? Well, just piss off then.
I think Fallen hacked into Theirry's account. :) ;) uhno
Holiday, just curious...but why would "the largest collection of Kill Bill posters" be in Egypt of all places?
I love that Japanese poster for Moon - it's beautiful! Congrats!
If anyone has one or knows where I can get one, I would greatly appreciate a PM. I need some friends in Japan! :)
I originally saw this posted one sheet on NS4, so I set out to find one of my own. The art is by Jon Whitcomb, best known for his WWII posters and his post-war work in Cosmopolitan. He has done other movie posters, most notably THE GLASS SLIPPER, with Leslie Caron. This fetching pin-up of Bardot is from 1958....

My two latest additions...
Ha, its funny, but since Schan posted that TR pic, the other few on ebay sold.
I really dig it as well...had it in my watch list for several months..

Outstanding packaging.
Here's an all time favorite of mine. Not new, but newly photo'd for archiving. A favorite movie, fantastic poster (29 x 40).

Aww yeah, just picked up this Metropolis 2010 re-release OS poster off Ebay:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Metro1.jpg)
The re-release is being shown in select theaters this summer. Here's the schedule (http://www.kino.com/video/screenings.php?film_id=519&cssoverride=http://www.kino.com/playdates.css&when=future).
There's another version floating around that I don't have:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/Metro2.jpg)
Here's a couple of recent one's I have picked up.
Mel - I have a Raiders poster just like that. Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? I paid $125 and I was wondering if you paid more or less than I did.

That said, it's hard not to like this video release b2 for The Book of Bantorra:

Perv!
It takes one to know one and you my friend are the King Perv. Holiday nice addition.
Certainly nothing crappy about that Notorious poster...
since I was vilified for not showing any of my vintage collection, here's one that just came in the post from Bruce today. Will go along nicely with my WC and three sheet on this title:

Very nice stuff Louie.....is that a swedish one sheet? the colors look pretty vibrant.
And, will someone please explain the 5 Summer Stories for me. Is that a bar of soap he has in his hand?
C, I love that Maltese Falcon. I want one :P
The Casablanca aint too shabby either...or any of those. All sweet.
Very nice stuff Louie.....is that a swedish one sheet? the colors look pretty vibrant.
Chris - I really dig the CURSE OF THE DEMON poster. "Not Suitable For Children" - I love any poster with a warning on it like that. Nice find!
Zorba,
What's the year on that Notorious poster? (one of my favourite Hitchcock movies)
I haven't had the time to photograph it yet because it just came in the mail this AM but here is one I picked up 2 weeks ago at Heritage for $20 WITH buyers premium (photo from the Heritage Auction). It looks MUCH better and the art is more defined in person:
(http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url[file:images/inetpub/newnames/300/5/6/0/0/5600708.jpg],continueonerror[true]&scale=size[450x2000],options[limit]&source=url[file:images/inetpub/webuse/no_image_available.gif],if[(%27global.source.error%27)]&sink=preservemd[true])
Sweet. I hear ya', bro. $20. Sometimes you just have to reach in a pay for them. Even if it means over paying $15 on a Good Bad Man poster. Now sit back and imagine the collection you could amass if you were employed. Can you see it? Oh I can.
Actually, I like the US version better. Nevertheless, great movie.

Thai Outlaw Josey Wales. To my knowledge, this is the only art for the film depicting Sondra Locke.

The Blade Runner poster is very interesting... is it just me or has the artist made Rachael more Asian looking?
Stew
The Gauntlet B1. The Frazetta one sheet is a superior poster for the film (IMO), but I like this one because it is different.

great Chantrell quad, Mel. Did you spot his sig bottom left corner?
I've finished my Japanese B1 and B2 collection (http://picasaweb.google.com/alphamel1968/IntJapan#) with a bang:
Very nice Mel...but...Do you mean finished as you are done buying them? As in out of the way? :P
Yes, I'm rapidly finishing up my various collections, which I now have semi-organized in my Picasa gallery (http://picasaweb.google.com/alphamel1968). My goal has been to obtain 12 rotating posters for every available frame, except for seven or so that I keep permanently framed. I have 14 B1s for my B1 frame, 15 B2s for my B2 frame, 20 quads/30x40s for my three quad frames, etc. With almost 900 posters (including 700 one sheets) for 90 frames, I'm out of room (not to mention having spent a small fortune)! So now it's time to enjoy what I have instead of endlessly accumulating more. For me, a poster stuck in a cabinet has no value. Of course, I'll still be picking up stuff, mostly Alamos, here and there.

So are you not going to be collecting anymore Beauties? Dude, you got to keep that part of your collection going, at least until you get married.
I think 265 PG/R "beauties" (http://picasaweb.google.com/alphamel1968/GroupBeauties#) plus 50 XXX is sufficiently depraved! Although I've heard rumors/hearsay that certain members here have far more than that....
I think you should keep collecting film paper of beautiful women and try to be one of the major leaders in this area.
I made some major pickups for my Park Chan-wook collection and more importantly my Vengeance Trilogy collection. I know most people could probably careless about it, but since I don't post in this section all that often I figured I'd try to contribute a little more.
The Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance Quad I picked up from Stew, which was nice because it helped me complete the British Quads portion of the Trilogy. I have a quad for each film now. Thanks Stew! thumbup
The Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is a really nice 40x60 poster. Stunning in its size and paper quality because it is made out of the thicker paper which most paper collectors of Asian material love so much.
The last poster is my absolute favorite of the bunch. I've been searching for this image high and low for a few years now and I was under the impression that I was going to have to find the Russian poster in order to get this artwork but I'm glad that is not the case. This Oldboy One Sheet makes a nice gem in my Vengeance Trilogy collection.
This lot was a big personal achievement more than anything else. O0
Congrats on the new Park additions, Chad. That Lady Vengance poster is rockin'!
Hello Dominic, Yes got it off Shaun. I have had a few off him over the years, he comes up with some good stuff. He says this is the one that is going to appear in the new Hammer film poster book.

However, I do like the colours more on the daybill (but then again I am hardly impartial)

You will need to have a frame custom made for that. Even in Japan you cannot buy frames for tatekan posters (unfortunately).

Extraordinary Seaman - an "extraordinary" poster IMHO:
(http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv275/Forty_Candles/ExtraordinarySeaman1969SSF.jpg)
Well, well, Mell, you finally have Extraordinary Seaman!
So what happened to your "I'm done" talk?
T
... Then the wife entered the picture. Down they came.Well, I suppose that's one way of distracting his attention from the posters.
That's interesting. Can't you get the seller to tell you who it was and publicly humiliate the asshole?
most likely some lurker. lesson learned I guess, but that is still brutal.
Did the seller say that the person who contacted him had seen it on here and then emailed him? Because, I know I have been tempted before to email a seller on ebay when an item I am watching mysteriously disappears, although I still have never done it.
Well, we have a serious $%^%$ loser on this board. Somebody saw my posting below and contacted the seller through Ebay and tried to get him to rescind the sale to me as "against Ebay rules to end auctions early."
Whoever you are -and I'm sure you'll stay in hiding - f*ck you. Just for your info, it was a fair deal all around. The guy got $500 cash with no commission. On a Heritage signature auction - like the one Heritage is selling now (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7025&Lot_No=83142#photo) - he certainly would have gotten more for the poster but that price reflects a total 38% commission. I also referred him to Heritage and EmoviePoster - neither of which he had ever heard of - to consign his other high-end stuff, so he'll do very well through them if he follows that path.
Ebay Policy overview
We don't allow our members to use eBay to contact each other to make offers to buy or sell items outside of eBay. Also, members can't use information obtained from eBay to contact each other about buying or selling outside of eBay.
Make sure you follow these guidelines. If you don’t, you may be subject to a range of other actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account.
What are the guidelines?
Allowed
*Sellers can end a listing early in order to sell an item at the current bid price to the high bidder.
*Bidders can ask sellers to end a listing early and sell at the current bid price, but sellers don't have to honor the request.
Not allowed
Some examples of activities that aren't allowed include:
*Using member contact information obtained from eBay or using any eBay system to offer to sell any listed item outside of eBay
*Canceling a listing to sell to a buyer who found the item on eBay
*Ending a listing early to sell the item to the winning bidder a price higher than the current bid
*Offering to sell an item to a non-winning bidder without using Second Chance Offer
I'm not the tattletale (Bond sucks), but it looks to me that what you did is very much against the ebay rules and, quite frankly, is a jerk move, no matter who does it. That it was a good deal for both sides is just lame self-justification on your part. Also, when you point rube sellers to better venues, you do you & your fellow buyers no favors, so thanks for that. To then broadcast all of this on a public forum is just plain foolish.
You boys need to read the actual Ebay user agreement (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/user-agreement.html). Ebay is NOT an auctioneer. Nothing obligates a seller to keep the auction going until the end. Sellers pay an INSERTION FEE for the right to list, nothing more, nothing less. Sellers have an absolute right to end the auction for any reason prior to the end - you don't like how the bidding is going, you sell it to someone (via Craiglist, email, whatever), you burn it, you gave it to your Grandma, your dog ate it, whatever. If you end your listing early, Ebay keeps the INSERTION FEE and has benefited from your listing to that extent. IF AND ONLY IF the auction is completed, then the Seller owes Ebay a 9-12% FINAL VALUE FEE. That is the sole financial contractual relationship between the seller and Ebay:
You acknowledge that we are not a traditional auctioneer. Instead, our sites are venues to allow anyone to offer, sell, and buy just about anything, at anytime, from anywhere, in a variety of pricing formats and locations, such as Stores, fixed price formats, and auction-style formats. We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. While we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, we have no control over and do not guarantee the quality, safety, or legality of items advertised, the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings, the ability of sellers to sell items, the ability of buyers to pay for items, or that a buyer or seller will actually complete a transaction or return an item.
As a practical matter, I've bought $15,000+ in the last year or so through completed auctions/sales on Ebay, so Ebay has done VERY well through me.
This reminds me of one of the ALL-TIME great similar stories! When I was 15 and a full-time comic dealer, a good friend got the latest RBCC (the predecessor of The Buyer's Guide) and in there was an Action #1 advertised for $100 (the going price at the time, but impossible to find). He called and bought it, but made Mel's mistake of excitedly calling me and another "friend" to brag.
The other friend called the seller, got him to agree to sell it for $125, and got him to overnight it that same day, so there couldn't be any further retaliation.
So the next day he has the Action #1, and his "friend" is still waiting for it in the mail! A couple of days later he gets his check back, with some pathetic story.
Moral: Don't count your movie posters until the smoke clears

In the end, we're all fucking poster whores anyway.
Now THAT'S harsh!
This is a good point, Archie, but it seems that the "right" thing to do, then, would be to put a bid in through ebay, and then assuming that Mel was the high bidder, THEN end the auction early. That way, fleabay gets its vig in the deal. What piss fleabay off is if the seller ends the auction early and then sells off ebay to the person, cutting fleabay out of the deal and its fee. Thus, it would seem that ebay's rules on right and wrong have nothing to do with preserving the integrity of the bidding process, and everything to do with protecting its fees.
On another note, I recall once I found an advertising poster through a seller that at the last minute, after he sold it to me backed out. I was pretty enraged, and to say the least, I told him so. Being on the ass-end of what Mel pulled really sucks, and I get how the guy would send a hostile email to the seller, because that's the only person he could send it to.
But, there's shit to go around. The supposed buyer who was "interested" should have put his bid in rather than going the way of a last-minute bidder. The risk in waiting to snipe is that the listing gets ended, especially if the seller believes that the price will not go high enough. I always, on a poster I'm especially interested in, bid a nice amount early on ebay, THEN also put in a snipe. That way, the seller tends to stay in the game and has less likelihood of pulling the auction early.
In the end, we're all fucking poster whores anyway. One man's pain is another's pleasure and vice versa depending on the circumstances. Next time, jagoff will get himself a great poster when a seller ends the auction early to the screams of Mel!
I've never seen the film, but I wanted this 1966 image of Sophia, still one of the greatest beauties to ever grace the silver screen....

A few new bits from me:I felt the same way about trading places. I'm pretty sure mine is Australian.
Trading Places - International one sheet - I'm not sure if this is the UK one sheet (it doesn't have printer info), but it's very similar to the Australian one sheet (the title typeface is different for one). It's a much better poster than the regular US one sheet.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/8835/tradingplaces.jpg)
Tron - 'Play the game' - US one sheet - I only recently realised that there are actually two different one sheets for Tron. This is perhaps slightly harder to find than the regular (see below) and features the text making it clear that there was an arcade tie in. I've seen it called the 'Play the game' style elsewhere.
(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/7046/tronplaythegame.jpg)
And then some good news after the empty tube debacle. Its interesting how posters seem to pop up in groups. I did not see one in four years and then 2 of them show up within a couple of months.

And Ed, I'm 99% sure Trading Places is British. I've seen it a bunch of times on Ebay.

Very cool Gattaca poster... I've not seen that one yet. Is it double sided? And do you know if there are any other character posters (Ethan or Jude)?

Gone With The Wind B1 1970s re-release. Holiday says it's the best poster I've ever acquired. I can't say I disagree:
(http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Gone.jpg)
That advance for 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' is extremely good looking, nice score.
Damn you Matt - you were right about the Bogie condition being very nice.
I even like the frame!
:'(
I don't know if these should be, one in the Hammer section, and one in Music posters! but they are both recent acquisitions.
Harry, I have always loved the Mag7 wc.
This might sound like sacrilege, but this that ultra rare case where you might consider very neatly trimming the blank top just below the stain.
Cost: zero
You end up with a near mint card that is EASIER to frame. and no chance of spreading mold.
The alternate is to spend a bunch repairing something no one will see.
Consider it!

A collector friend of mine is selling some items so he can buy an expensive poster, and I aways get first refusal. The "On the town" in Quad form is a very obscure piece, plus the film is great so I had to have it, I will be putting it up over the fire place.
Dr. Strangelove 40x60
Yup, got it from Ken...........you are right, he's had some good stuff up lately. I almost pulled the trigger on one other.
What's it take for a guy to get some respect around here? This Repulsione Italian one panel (39"x55") is probably my last major purchase for quite a while - yes, I've said that before but maybe I actually mean it this time! - but this is a doozy and probably the best poster I'll ever have (this is the seller's picture):

Wouldn't mind having one of these myself!

So the Big Cheese around here gets a 40x60 Empire Strikes Back and can't be bothered to inform us of this minor acquisition?
What to do, what to do?
Perhaps we should just ban collectors with more than 1000 posters?

Those quads are awesome, Paul.
I did snag one beauty, which I will post when I receive....
I'm not much into cannibals, but the rich colors and the layout on this poster are very striking. Empire had some pretty decent artists work on their posters. This looks like one of their best. I like it.
As I was only telling Harry last night, I am currently going cold turkey. Although this number did happen to arrive on the doorstop this morning...
One of four daybills I have, has crudely painted guns on it.

GUNS OF NAVARONE was rated NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN originally, and was later trimmed to get a G for general release/re-release.
There were several obvious cuts, primarily in the shoot-out on the boat in the first half of the film, a later torture scene, and a few snips of dialogue
that implied Gia Scala had prostituted herself for the Nazis. If memory serves, the shootout was also trimmed for the first NSFC roadshow release in CBDs and
later first run major suburbans.
The restored version was released on DVD in Australia as PG-Medium Level Violence (and before anyone goes Whaaa??? - the Medium Level Violence consumer line is in relation to the PG rating.
A film rated M that would have a MLV consumer line, for example, would related to the way it is perceived within the M guidelines.
If you look on the IMDB, you will find that it appears a similar treatment happened in the UK, where the film was cut to get a U rating, etc.
As for the posters.... bottom left daybill is an Australian-printed poster with the censorship left off so it could be used in NZ (as this one was - the Y rubber stamped rating being the clue) and in other Pacific territories
serviced by the Australian head office. It's the closest to the original US art and is lacking "the Guns". I think it's 99% safe to assume this is the first original, the right (blue) with some crudely added guns is the second printing and the top two yellow ones are later re-releases from the late 60s.
Students of studio logos might like to chime in on the historical relevance, though it must be said that local branches here didn't/do always toe the line for such things
Raiders of the Lost Ark - international/UK one sheet - now I've got just about all the Indiana Jones one sheets I want in my Indiana Jones collection (http://posternirvana.com/myposters/Series_Indiana_Jones.html):

Hmmm...not a new acquisitions but an earlier film with the same title for comparison
(http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/Assgoblin/Posters002-1.jpg)
I love that movie, Stew. And awesome poster. Now I want one for myself.
Just got in today from across the pond. Undated, but I believe it is from the original 1968 release...
Sorry for stealing the emovieposter pics, but until they come in, here are my three latest posters.
Harry, those are in outstanding condition even with the bottom corners snipped off. Congrats on the score!
They aren't trimmed. That was likely for the display cases they went into.
Bruce
...if you love tits and gore you will have a blast!
That should be the tag line on the posters!LOL, I take it you went and saw the movie! I couldn't believe what a great cast it had for a smaller budget film.
More stills for me:

Mel you is crazy!...but I must admit! I am looking forward to seeing you get this thing framed.
God speed sir ;D
Mel, you're going to need a bigger apartment...
BTW, what's with those two dudes and the magnet? I'm a bit scared... :o
Great pick up Mel. Another happy winner at eMoviePoster.com ("preferred by people who value honest auctions")!
Bruce
Just got this in! Piranha BQ. Knew I had to have it when I saw this artwork on a website a few months ago. Way cooler than the US 1sheets. And if your looking to have a good time go check out the movie, isn't going to win any awards but if you love tits and gore you will have a blast!
I've been in two minds weather to buy this Quad for the last few weeks. After seeing it here, I'm off to E-web to buy one. Thanks for posting Severen, I'll be most certainly checking the Film out also. ;DNo problem! Yeah check out the movie in 3D in the Theater while you still can, its a fun time.
This style doesn't come around too often.That is one sick piece! I don't remember ever seeing that artwork. You wouldn't happen to have 2 of those would you?LOL

Another gem of a find just arrived today!
(http://a.imageshack.us/img46/7659/p9037682medium.jpg)
Those are great. But please explain to a novice like me.Usually, stills are produced separately by a stills photographer on the set.
Are "stills" prints made from the film negatives, or is someone on the movie set actually taking photos with a camera?
I am guessing the first part, but you never know. :)
Usually, stills are produced separately by a stills photographer on the set.
Harry, that's the best post in this section for some months IMO. I'm extremely envious of that one.
Great find, Harry Caul. Who'da thunk a garage sale could yield such a gem...wow...
That is stunning.
This style doesn't come around too often.I think that's the UK International 1-sheet (Lonsdale & Bartholomew printer's credit - no certification letter) - the same artwork appears on this double-bill quad ...

That's gonna be a sweet room when it's done. What's the quality like on a 120" projection screen?
I am trying to figure if I wanna "go Mel" on the room (go all out floor to ceiling) or tastefully space them out with a few per wall.
Well I wasnt 100% set on getting a projector when we bought the house .. I wanted something like a 60" LCD/Plasma .. but a friend told me to at least look at projection unit and boy I was surprised ! Even with my Epson that cost about $1500 (which is considered low-mid range) the quality on HD content is amazing! Now granted its not as perfect as a high end LED/LCD screen .. But with the projector running $1500 and the screen was only $250 that puts me at $1750 .. I can barley buy a 4x" LED/LCD with that let alone a 50-60" ... So the MINIMAL quality difference is will worth it in the wall real-estate you gain! Not to mention sitting about 12' away from the screen, the minimal quality difference is lost to the human eye .. and now that I have this 120" setup I feel confident that I would have thought the 60" was just too small .. and Id have spent twice as much.
So to answer your question a little more directly .. with HD content is awesome! but like with ANY large screen format like this .. the lower the quality going in the worse it looks coming out .. so low end streaming material doesnt the cleanest lines as well as HDTV rips that I stream via PS3 cant hold a candle to any HD content but thats all expected .. With a pure source like BluRay this definitely holds its own as far as picture quality goes.
Its really hard to post stuff after you guys. It can be intimidating
I think that Excalibur poster is way undervalued. Great art, fitting image, and if you like this type of film, great movie.
Bus shelter poster 48" x70". Under $7 if you don't mind.

Nice Mel.

All are very nice Mel. You should have quit collecting sooner :P
Ha-ha - funny you should say that! I'm not quitting collecting but I AM taking a one-month vacation/sabbatical from all the forums and poster collecting starting Monday. The whole madness started March 20, 2009 - exactly a year and a half ago - when I walked into a movie poster store in Denver randomly. Since then, I've spent most of my time and money ($30,000) collecting posters, so I figure it's high time to take a vacation/sabbatical from collecting and concentrate on other life activities, including finding Ms. Right. (I've got a couple of targets but we'll see.) However, I will be monitoring the new Alamo posters - I don't want to miss another Big Lebowski/Goldfinger type poster.
So you boys won't have me around overposting for a while. And I won't be lurking around reading posts as a guest. But don't worry - I'll be back in mid-October to post my Halloween posters - it's gonna be awesome!
Have a good vacation Mel!
I would suggest cold turkey... meaning not even Alamo. Isn't that why you are taking a break in the first place? So you don't obsess over *every* poster that crosses your path? You can always pick it up on eBay later, even if it costs a bit extra.
My $0.02.
Mel
I'll give you $20 if you don't make one more post here for 30 days (other than to accept this bet) but you have to give me $10 if you do make even one post during that time.
Do we have a bet?
Bruce
Two questions, CJHAHA! To answer your questions T. I am married and in fact have two young daughters. I hang much of what I have in my man cave (that is the only area in the house acceptable) so I am running out of real estate. I need to find a way to store folded one sheets. Is it acceptable to bag and back them folded?
1) Do u put them up at your place?
2) Do u have a girlfriend/wife
thumbup
Nice haul!
T
So what do your daughters think of Daddy when they walk into the Man cave and see all these "beauties" on the wall. Does Daddy scare them? Do they wait for the day Daddy's going to run naked around the neighborhood with an ax?
Some intense posters there, CJ138.Thanks Brude! I checked emovieposter's image archive and it listed the same Tales from the Crypt as an English 1 sheet. Man, everytime I look at Zone Troopers I think "WTF". Oh well...
I liked THE SENDER, interesting little thriller.
Is the TALES FROM THE CRYPT an international one sheet?
Very cool...
I would strongly advise to keep rolled posters rolled (you can buy tubes that can hold 50 of them together) and folded posters flat in a flat file cabinet. I don't know where you live, but check your local Craig's List for flat files. Companies always get rid of them. I bought mine for $50 a piece or so. If you buy them new, they can go up to a $1,000. Don't waste your money, they will eventually pop up.
Also, what matters most is humidity. I live in Southern Cal, where humidity is not a factor. But if you live in Florida, for example, you need to protect your posters differently. Mine are stacked up on top of each other in each drawer. I can put up to 300 posters per drawer. It flattens them and keep them in perfect condition. Do not roll folded posters. It stresses the folds.
Also, for the rolled posters, I would advise to bag your rolls of 50 before you put them in a box (to protect them from eventual flooding and wandering insects.)

I don't remember the last time I was: a) so excited about a movie; and b) so excited about that movie's poster. And, I don't think I've ever posted a pic before I've had the poster in my hands, but I just couldn't wait on this one. For all the naysayers about The Fountain, I'm really glad to see Aranofsky come back first with The Wrestler and then with Black Swan.
I am sure Aranofsky will not disappoint. BLACK SWAN looks very good...
On a decidedly different note, I just got this from Germany...a pretty cool design for SPLICE, a movie that I have not yet seen, but hope to soon. Below that is the American one-sheet. APF members Armin and Dale helped me with both of these. Thanks, guys!
My pics couldn't bring out the details on the highly reflective dark backgrounds. These pics are 'borrowed.'

Those Belgians are the real deal, from during and right after WWII. They were so desperate for paper they printed on the backs of anything. This was not true a few years later.
Great haul!

Harry...back from his studies (and forced sabbatical)...buying up some of the finest paper in sight like there's no tomorrow.
Out-f**king-standing, man!
Makes me wonder what Mel will do after his hiatus...
Do you think it would be worth it to have the Casablanca restored?
(http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6654/imagerin.jpg)
Noooooooooooo!
I was watching that batch and, to me anyway, it's so wrecked that restoring it won't bring any significant boost to it's value, maybe not even passed the restoration costs. And I'm a BIG believer in restoration where rational, even extensive restoration (like this would take).
It's charm is the map, imho, and if it was going to be framed, I'd want both sides to show. It's a really neat artifact of its times. I'd want to really work with the restorer on it to make sure it wasn't overdone if you go that way.

Or I kick you out of the forum!!!

A few of the only "vintage" posters I own, and I'm not sure why I got them, as most of my posters are from my favorite movies, and I will most likely never see any of these movies. Gotta love impulse buys. :D
I know why you got them, They are excellent. :)
I think the thread got mixed up Chris, I was Quoting someone in the September thread!!!
I do have some new stuff, but are unable to up load photo's at the moment for some reason. Holiday Say's I may have to do something with photo-bucket??? But I'm not on a computer long enough, or have that much inclination to mess around with things like that, so it maybe a while before I post any more pic's.
Paul,
I, for one, would love to see all your quads. How many have you got in total?
Not sure exactly, as a computer virus wiped out my list. Posters totally around 3500+ 70% are quads, 4/5000 lobbies, and stills. if you count trade adds, and pressbooks quite a few more.

Nice job on the High Tide Matt - one of my first daybills and remains one of my favs! Great artwork on it...
Hi, Folks!Im curious, was the cinema seating wired up to the mains or something?
Just wanted to show you this recent acquisition.
Not in brilliant condition - lots of tape repairs and reinforcement on the reverse, plus overall signs of handling - but still a fascinating piece. We've never seen one before and, despite the unsophisticated print quality, we think it probably dates back to the original 1959/1960 release date ... does anyone out there know if this was the only UK poster or was there another version?
(http://www.quadbod.co.uk/webimages/tingler10668medls.JPG)
We rarely have our posters linen-backed and I'm undecided what to do with this one. If we sell to a poster collector, I would prefer to leave it in its 'raw' state, then the owner can decide what to do about restoration and backing. If we sell to a non-collector - ie someone who wants it as a novelty piece of decorative art - then, it will be more attractive to them if we have the work done first. I guess we'll keep it as it is for a while and judge reaction at a couple of fairs before deciding.
Anyway, I just wanted to show it off here as we like it so much! On a personal note, I have a soft spot for it as this was the second 'X' certificate film I ever saw at the cinema! Jeez! How old is this man???
Best wishes,
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk

I can recommend posterhanger.com (http://www.posterhanger.com/buyposterhnger.html). They have hangers up to 72" horizontal. Here's a picture of one of my French one panels hung with a 50" hanger (http://posternirvana.com/0DNE/Bride1.jpg) from posterhanger.
I've actually done that with a number of linen-backed posters, including a couple of Italian 2-panels.
But the unbacked 2-panels come in two pieces, so, short of taping them together or something, I don't think posterhangers will work on them.

About the only piece I have for a movie that I thought was pretty offal. The artwork is classic, and from what I've read, the comic is epic, so based on the poster and reviews of the comic, I may look into getting some comics. What do you guys think about Swamp Thing the comic, and does anyone know where I can score the first 30 or so issues for a good price?

The Alan Moore written run of Swamp Thing is some great reading. Alan Moore wrote "V for Vendetta" and "Watchmen", in case you didn't know.

You could see if anyone is selling used copies for cheaper in Amazon's marketplace
Ye Gods, Mel...what a haul!
I am really digging the Italian paper these days. Those are great posters.
This one from France. Didnt know they came in a 33x47 size but ya live and learn. 8)
The Dr No is a mid 70s re-issue.....
1963 1st issue (coffin logo , yellow lettering)
R65 2nd issue (coffin , red lettering)
R71 3rd issue (T logo and Dear Bell logo......vhtf)
mid 70s 4th issue (T logo)
R80 5th issue (T logo)
I was told that the 33x47" affiches (at least the older ones) were for rural 16mm releases. Even if it's not true, there's a wonderful symmetry to it (16mm being half of 35mm, 33x47" being half of 47x63, approximately) that makes it SHOULD be true.

Here is the 2nd entry in my one-day-complete-Bond-quad collection... yeah right... I'm sure by the time I can afford them all they will have tripled in price!
Here's what was laying on my doorstep when I got home today.

That's bloody sweet Ted, I got the aussie one sheet. It's a must have poster.
Thanks, Matt. Is the Aussie one sheet the same style?
Outstanding quads, Mike...all of 'em...
WTF? A rolled ZULU DAWN??
Geez, the more quads I see, the more I prefer 'em to one sheets...now, why is that? wynk
I once said I'll only want one 3 sheet in my collection and I got that FAFDM at a bargain price. I guess I was wrong.
Damn, you caught ANOTHER bug? Hope they have free health care in Oz ;)
A few that rolled in today...
One small corner ding, but not bad for $14 shipped!

Nice score.
Surprised this poster wasnt requested to not be used.

Casablanca quad (2007 BFI re-release)
If you don't mind me asking, what would one of those cost? I am thinking of buying one and seeing as it's a re-release I'm thinking it shouldn't be nearly as expensive as an original.
~ Juli
Sent you PM - I paid 50 pounds....
Wow, that is great artwork on the Escape subway, CJ! Nice win!
Thanks Jace! I too am addicted to ebay UK there are some real finds on there. I was recently frustrated though, I planned to snipe a Evil Dead 2 quad but could not bid because the seller set his auction to UK shipping only (even though in the description he offered to ship worldwide). :(
Just won this advance subway poster for EFNY on Ebay. I've wanted an EFNY poster for a while and this was significantly less than the one sheet. I was kind of surprised how cheap I got it for. Has anyone seen one before?

Brude, my quad addiction is entirely your fault. I spend more time on http://www.ebay.co.uk/ than I do on the US site now :p
Don't be blaming me none...it's the Waines character.
I think he's got us all haunting Ebay.uk...
Great poster.

The Doll Squad - Ted V Mikels
(http://www.moviemonstermuseum.com/lobbyCards/dollSquad.jpg)
heres a couple that arrived over the weekend.
Metropolis Re-release 2010 - been after since i saw the film last month but way too expensive on ebay. A total bargain at £25 & framed for Xmas with a bit of luck!
(http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx107/m154cath/JUST%20IN%20POSTERS%20-%20ALL%20TYPES/P1010006.jpg)
by the way if anyone finds it difficult to bid on UK ebay because of shipping restrictions & time differences just drop me a line. i get plenty of free time during the week to hook up to ebay & the post office is only round the corner.
seems a shame u guys cant bid as there are bargains a plenty. im sure some reciprocation could be sorted out as the same problem exists for us.
And last, but certainly not least, a 1941 B1. Interesting how they combined Jaws and Close Encounters with the wacky Spielberg image to promote this film. This one is actually going to a guy I know that collects Spielberg, but it was just too cool not to show.
(http://lh6.ggpht.com/_xLQYS8tGlAk/TNdNXVYBjPI/AAAAAAAAFf4/1Ca5jIBsWPc/s800/1941_3c2c0859%20%282%29.jpg)
Nice acquisitions, spacething.
Just love PLEASE DON'T EAT MY MOTHER...awesome piece!

Brudester goodness....
That poster is killer, Chris. What are the dimensions?
Fear not Belgian experts, my questions have (quickly!) been answered...
Can't wait to get it on the wall!
So, what is the news? Is it original release (or more specifically, first post-war release)?
Picked this up this week, though I am unsure of the release. The guy I got it off says it's first release, I think maybe later, though the brown back ground suggests first, as that's what was on all the ads at the time?
(http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/frankenstein31_photos/PICT0897.jpg)
I know what Mel's going to say about that one.............
some very nice posters indeed - never seen that version of Westworld before just the white,which ive been after for a while.
thought id add this beauty to the mix - arrived today & is in pristine condition. i have to admit though i prefer the UK 1 sheet version on this one
(http://i746.photobucket.com/albums/xx107/m154cath/JUST%20IN%20POSTERS%20-%20ALL%20TYPES/P1010003.jpg)
Now that's fantastic Mel! Will look great on one of your walls (if there is any room left that is)!
Love the movie, love the logo but that quad design just sucks IMO. So much wasted space, why did the designers do that?!
Thanks Chris - it will be part of my rotating Italian one panel collection (http://www.posternirvana.com/myposters/Int_Italy.html).
Dennis
Since you won the card, you can get our nice image unwatermarked, just for the asking.
Bruce
P.S. A wonderful card, in my estimation!
Me loves that KK.....good deal on it ?

"Wait, you can??? What about for an auction I won about 3 years ago?"
Most likely that is no problem. More than five years ago probably not. Just e-mail lee@emovieposter.com with which auction it was (and you have to have been the winner).
Bruce
Very nice, Matt. I have had my eye on one of those for quite some time. From the pic, it looks like it is one piece. Is it?
Just back from trip to London where I bought one of my biggest buys ever.
It's a British doorpanel from 1944 designed by Cliff Rowe.

Is it just me that collects this kind of thing? It's a Quad (surprise) advertisement for Film review magazine, I am guessing from the mid 70's, unless you know different by the pics on it.Amazing to think someone would take the time to keep one of these originally...happy memorys of the Magazine.

By the way Mel, these aren't even in the good ole' US of A yet... me thinks you might be counting your chickens before they've hatched!
What is this? It's cool.
I have been trying to pick up Handiedan prints as they come out. You think the Mondo stuff goes fast, those things are damn near impossible. They had one they printed as many as were sold in x hours and I was offline so missed that one. This one is nice, but I prefer the parchment look of the others she has done.
Nice trio of vintage cards, Angelo. The W&W WC is awesome! thumbup
Just purchased this one. I prefer the quad over the one sheet for this film.
So here are my wins from the HA Sig auction. All won for the opening bid
MAMBA LC (1930) Never seen the movie, but the art deco design of the lobby really piqued my interest
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/the_watcher_01/Movie%20Paper/MAMBALC.jpg)
THE POTTERS LC (1927) This will be the second card I have from this now lost W.C. Fields movie, his last silent one. Figured I might as well bid on it as it gives me a reason to complete the set
(http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k183/the_watcher_01/Movie%20Paper/THEPOTTERSLC.jpg)
HOLD 'EM JAIL WC (1932) My second W&W WC, but my first for one of their pre-code films. Happy to add it to a growing collection of material for the vastly underrated comedy team

You Brits' love of royalty and quads I'll never comprehend. That quad is 40% image (same as US) and 60% title, credits, and blank space.
Actually, I am from the D.C. area myself ;D. I understand and agree with your point regarding the quad format, however, from what I have read the DD quad has not been reprinted and is more difficult to come by (please correct me if I am wrong). I also like that the quad has the countdown as a tag line. BTW sweet Shaft one sheet. I am ashamed to say I have never seen the movie.
Conor
Of course, America's obsession with guns and religion I'll never understand either and I live here!
No offense, Mel, but what is the point of this statement in this Latest Acquisitions thread?
As a Federal employee, you should know that these are Constitutional rights.
Why do you call them obsessions???
If you care to respond, carry it over to that other political thread. sm1
Conor......is that one "n", or two? ;) you cannot have seen many Quads as it's mainly newer ones (80's onward) that feature art on one side and credits on the other. Also I have no love for Royalty what so ever, or do you mean the Royal Family in which case, My Arse ;D ( the brits will get that
Picked this up recently. I love the Simeoni art, though the photo doesn't do justice to the colors.

Been outta the loop for a bit lately, what was the Black Friday deal, Mel?
$100 off any $200+ order. It's good through tomorrow (Monday). That put this particular poster in my price range. He still has two more copies, if anybody else is interested.
Well, of course the 6-sheet is nice, but so are a lot of 6-sheets. However, I'm failing to think of a more beautiful 1/2 sheet at any price. Which is exactly why I own and proudly display one of these as well ;)
By the way, is yours rolled and unrestored? If so, wow... a magnificent piece!
I'll say it again... that style A half sheet is my favorite paper for the film. Fantastic score mahmudf!
So neat to hear stories behind purchases like this, especially when they hold so much importance in terms of memories and so forth...makes posters more than just posters. Very special.
And, my wife has that same exact sweater your wife has...so that's kinda cool too.
That looks awesome Harry. I mainly collect the larger paper, so a big thumbs up. Also great to see the poster on a wall in a home setting. Lie back on that comfy chair and admire it for me!
that's a great one Harry, i've got the locandina of that, its one of my favourite posters from the film.
Epic, Harry.
Question -- how would these monster Italian posters have been displayed for use by cinemas? Pasted on walls? Or put in frames?
Amazing poster Harry. Looks stunning on the wall. Congrats!
I just wish my family liked me 1/2 as much... >:(
It is like 6 years of presents rolled into one! Its funny as they were originally talking about getting me a new video/still camera. However, I asked them for this instead. I figured I would junk the electronics in a few years after it was outdated while this will stay with me forever!
I saw that... you and I clearly have very similar tastes. I'm afraid to show you my want list!
haha yes it appears so, you probably dont to worry as i might have 1 big purchase coming up after which i'll be brokeeMovie? Chisties? Big? Small? I'm intrigued...
eMovie? Chisties? Big? Small? I'm intrigued...
probably not wise to say until it goes through as it may fall through, but if it does i'll post it here but price wise its big for me
Mel, I thought you already had a Blonde Sinner? Maybe I am mistaken...
Blah, blah, blah... I need to stop, but these were an exception... blah, blah, blah. Keep telling yourself that Mel ;D
Some newer stuff finally digitized!

What would you do if i said i need that MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH Daybill for my hammer collection?
Nice! Was that from the bay? I've seen more than one of these in the last few weeks...
Great Blonde Sinner Mel. But tell me, I thought you were living off prawn flavored noodles in a cup. You sure are still buying up...
(http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr156/Assgoblin/IMG_5031.jpg)
It's awesome, Dr. Caul, that you were able to score that poster, and the story behind it is probably the coolest I have heard as far as collections go, and the poster looks legendary. I have to agree with Ari, that stories like that are what collecting is all about. There are a couple posters on my walls that can change my outlook on life (in a positive way) after seeing them.
Yes sir. But sadly, for me anyways, looks like they can be had for less than I paid now (likely owing to the current mini flood of the market)
Rocketeer gets a giant happy1 from me! Always loved the art deco/retro art...
Christopher Lee photo and sig is really, really neat.
And looks legit, not new, but heres my Lee sig I got in person for comparison.

Davis is a top 3 print artist for me, absolutely love his work.
Just won this and I am too impatient to wait for this to actually arrive. BTW anyone know the artist?
(http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj147/cjwash/Movie%20Posters/bigtroublequadposter.jpg)
Who won the Lost in Translation B1?
After reading that I was like "I didn't know he had an auction ending tonight", then I looked at the selling price, and wow, $785 for that sweet mambajamba. The Japanese Star Wars pieces that he's had in auctions recently have also been awesome.
The only one I might spend the money on one day is the Starfall.
Spanish one is very nice Brude
Thanks, man. Y'know, I wouldn't mind trading the both to you for that ugly ass Hildebrandt quad you unrolled on another thread.... wynk
very kind offer brude but i would prefer Paul's Forbidden Planet quad ;D
Harry
I wouldn't normally post this yet as i haven't finished paying it off , but its in my possession now .Bought this near mint beauty from a very good friend and it will be paid off next month. This is it for now and if I buy anything else in the near future you all have my permission to come round my house and beat me over the head. I'm off for a couple weeks so have a great Christmas and a prosperous new year.

Mel: I like that Godfather poster very much. Do you know where I could get one like it? I am not big on the 1972 design but that re-release one I like.
~ Juli
Wowzer! That Rear Window has to be in the running for acquisition of the year. Though I'd say Harry's For a Few Dollars More might be in with a chance too.
They're pretty cheap - there are several on Ebay like this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/GODFATHER-25TH-ANN-MOVIE-POSTER-RARE-FOIL-AL-PACINO-/170578888424). Because it's mylar, there are no reproductions. Just search for "Godfather 25th"

ahh yes your correct, been a few years. about time for a rewatch. and yes GREAT film.

Hello Harry, Yes off the bay. The price was too good to pass it up, I was very surprised it didn't go for a lot more.

Doesn't the military screen your mail? I thought only the president was authorized to use weapons of mass destruction!?! As a US taxpayer I am quite concerned with this blatant escalation of force!
;D
This maybe my last acquisition for this year, it will most definitely be the last from the States for the foreseeable future. It's been a real pain trying to get this poster to where it belongs (in the collection of a Quad loving Laurel and Hardy fan). The guy who was selling it was a Twat, Wrong time of year, and the U.K. "$#@^%stoms" want a fortune in taxes partly due to the twat not filling the form in correctly. I won't go into the full story as it's not over yet, but the start is in the Dealer Experiences thread.
However it is now sat on top of one of my plan chests. It needs a bit of restoration, but it's staying put for now.

Really like the Monster art poster but since when is Spock a monster?
Good question...
Dennis, your brother has been very good to you. That is one sweet poster. Morrow has done some fine movie poster and monster art and I have not seen that one in a long, long time.
thumbup
Nice paper, Neo.
That NATIONAL LAMPOON CHRISTMAS VACATION is a must have. thumbup
Love the Watchman poster Neo, I may have to get some paper on that film.
Office Space - laughed more watching this movie than almost any other. I didn't realize that all of the Post It notes have different writing on each of 'em.
Office Space poster looks funny. I think I'll have to see it.
Well, my last acquisition of the year, a 2F Italian
(http://www.mysterycorp.com/temp/Ringo_800.jpg)
Nice Watchmen and poster with the girl with plastic bag over her head. What's the US title of that one?
BLACK CHRISTMAS
Some times also called Silent night Deadly night.
Paul
I have been looking for ANY items with Black Christmas actually printed on them, but all I have found are items sniped with that title. Can you post an image of a lobby with the Black Christmas title? Or is it the other way around (Black Christmas is what is on the snipe)?
Thanks.
Bruce
As far as I know, there are only 2 English-language posters that have the final title printed directly with no snipe. I have one, which has an all red matte finish with a bunch of press quotes (clearly a poster from later in the theater run) and the rocking chair silhouette. I don't have a photo, but it is actually pretty cool for a press blurb poster.
The other is a regular 1-sheet. It was distributed by Ambassador (not Warner) and there is no rating so it could either be an international 1-sheet or maybe used for small showings or a later re-release. Up until this sale I had only ever seen a single photo of this one sheet on a fan website, but this one at HA was the first I've seen auctioned. I'm frankly surprised it went for so little given its extreme rarity...
Black Christmas 1-sheet, no snipe (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=510102&Lot_No=52046)
Can i ask..what is a snipe?
Stew
Here is a link to an HA auction where the snipe wasn't applied so you can see what it looks like separately....
Black Christmas 1-sheet, with snipe (http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=57032&Lot_No=25037)
In future I will keep my mouth shut until I find stuff. Don't seem to be able to locate the F.O.H. stills, but they are sniped. To make up for it I put my hand on this straight away!!!
Thanks Harry, that's why I bid on it.
(http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss348/frankenstein31_photos/PICT0104.jpg)
That's printed with the image, just slightly different art work.
Mind I'm sure I have a Quad for this film with Black Christmas on.
Hi, Folks!
Here's an image of the British quad - double-bill with OUT OF SEASON (integrally printed not a snipe, by the way) ... image for reference ... we don't have one at the moment ...
(http://www.quadbod.co.uk/webimages/blackchristmasoutofseason8165ls.JPG)#
Happy New Year!
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk
Thanks, was it only released as a double bill?
I didn't make myself clear. I am looking for a U.S. poster or lobby card that was printed with the Black Christmas title.I ask this because I think the title was changed in the U.S. only after the posters were printed with the other title.
Anyone have a U.S. poster or lobby card that was printed with the Black Christmas title?
Thanks.
Bruce
As far as I'm aware, this is the only version - at least, I've never seen a single-bill.
Terry - www.quadbod.co.uk
Hey Stew, aren't you celebrating the New Year a day early?Maybe the guys down under would disagree!!..its called pre mature postulation...
:D woohoo :D woohoo :D woohoo :D woohoo
Bruce
Thanks Harry. That is really cool. But there were apparently no "regular" posters or lobby cards printed with the Black Christmas title?
Bruce
Not that I know of. Given the fact that they didn't even pony up to print the snipe in color, I doubt they would have reprinted the 1-sheet. Especially since I see so many unused posters/snipes... seems like they had a pile of them on their hands.
However, I'm still comparatively new to the hobby so what do I know!
