Fun at Comic Con.

A few things that I've already bought and not received yet. Nice to see them in person.

Cool pics, T.
How tall are the various figures?

What you doing there, you said you'd never go to anything like that??

I actually like Comic Con for a day or two. It's full of young people in costumes, there are a lot of things to look at, it's a little overwhelming, but fun for a little while. Plus our closest friends have a house on the beach in La Jolla, so I get to stay with them, drink wine, smoke a little and go for a swim at night in the ocean. It's a big departure from the crusty poster conventions I personally abhor.

I'm trying to track the deluge of SDCC 2016 posters and prints on my Tumblr... along with some of the trailers where applicable.

Not too many prints I liked this time around. About to head home with these...

I like the Trash Compactor the best! Do you keep these flat generally or rolled?

Looks like a good time! A favorite artist of mine, Alex Pardee, has a booth set up every year. I am on the east coast, so no chance of me going anytime soon.

All my prints are laid flat on top of each other. I can put about 200 prints in a single drawer in two piles of 100. I have 2 full drawers now, working on the 3rd one.

Did you purposely forget to mention the smoke, Paul? The smoke is an integral part of the fun. It shall not be dismissed.

Yeah, I like them. Not a bad crop.
I tried to be more careful than last year when I came home with 17 prints. I think I had 4 Shan Jiang Godzillas. Don't know why. I liked the prints, bought a few, got home and was like - what now? I never sell anything, so I ended up giving them to a friend of mine and told him to do whatever he wanted with them.
This year, I was more precise and only bought prints I actually liked and passed on many.

Not that you asked, but I will show you anyway.
These two drawers are completely packed, except for the Stout pile which has a little room left.

This flat file is a little smaller, and the one I'm currently working on. It's flushed to the wall in my office. As soon as the drawer is full, the pile is transfered to one of the larger flat files. Organization is key.

Focused on the bits I like.... ;D

Nice haul, T. . I appreciate the photos of your storage as well.
How do you store your large paper... Frenchies, One panels, etc.? Do you keep them stored folded in a flat file or do you have a method of storing them flat?
-
all neat and tidy... gotta get me one of those
no wonder your friends don't know you are a collector!

Because you asked...
These are only for folded posters. Rolled posters are in tubes somewhere else.
French 1 panels (folded in half, stacked up on top of each other).

Because you asked...
Wow... pretty amazing to have a peak inside your collection/organization.
The type-A in me is drooling over those cabinets and how neat everything is as well.
Do you buy your flat files new or do you pick up used ones? Either way where do you get them from?
Thanks for the detailed pics!
-
well done T, on all levels

Some are new, some are used (bought through Craig's List.) I have 8 flat flies now, about to get 2 more. So that will be 50 drawers of posters. Everything is pretty much full right now.

Thanks man, it works for me. Some people don't mind the mess, I do. I get a poster, it is immediately filed. I can't stand seeing anything laying around. It has to be clean and perfect.

you've done it right and it's damned impressive

Great organization and system there, T. Looks good! thumbsup.gif

I love how the poster are all lined up in the piles, and not....straggly.

If I had to guess, I'd bet there's not a whole lot of handling taking place with his posters.

T's house is wrapped in a thick mylar bubble...his children will be well preserved

I don't own truly expensive posters, Mark. If I did, I'd probably be more careful. This said, I never understood the point of mylar sleeves. Maybe it's because I live in Southern Cal. where humidity is not so much a factor, but my posters have been stacked up since I started collecting some 16 years ago, and they are all in the exact same condition I bought them in. Better actually, since the folds have been flattened and I fixed whatever small defects they had.

Got to say, I'm the same. Had my poster piled up on top of each other for 45 years. They still look as good as the day I bought them...

With the exception of over-sized items I keep every poster, cheap and expensive, in a mylar pocket. There are numerous benefits:-
- Under weight, fold lines greatly diminish and rolled posters become permanently flat.
- Posters are protected from dust, bugs, moisture etc.
- Handling damage is virtually eliminated. Fragile posters in particular are given extra support.
- It is easy to pull out a poster from the middle of a pile without disturbing those above and below.
- Posters of similar size can be kept together for the same title
- The pockets are archival.
- They form a barrier between the poster and potentially harmful resins and glues in my antique wooden plan chests.
- They self-contain any contamination present in a poster (eg foxing) so that it cannot spread to another poster.
- They seem to improve the clarity of the poster.

Mark, do you keep only one poster per sleeve? Isn't this cost prohibitive?
I understand the the pros of keeping every single poster in a sleeve, but I'd think you get to a point of diminishing returns on the cheaper ones.
-
I understand your prerogative, Mark, but I really don't need it. Not for me. My posters are fine and better than when I first got them. Plus, imagine the work and the cost involved in mylar protecting 12,000 + movie posters.
To each his own, I guess.

I keep up to 10-12 cheaper modern ones in a single pocket Chris - it speeds up the flattening process.
