Hello from the UK
« on: September 19, 2015, 02:51:30 PM »
Hi

Just want to say Hi to everyone. I mainly collect US one sheets and UK Quads. Big passion is Bond and Star Wars. Have been collecting for only about 10 years now and slowly building my collection.

Been reading a few articles on the forum which have helped, particularly sellers to avoid.

You will be in good company with the other SW and Bond folks here! (and everyone else, too, of course).  :D

Enjoy!!!

Jeff

It was the Grand on the seafront. Where about are you from Paul? Whats your main interest, or do you collect anything Quad related.

The hardest thing in the UK is finding frames, for my prized possessions I have had frames made but the ones I change often I use snap frames. The US seems more plentiful of poster frame suppliers.

Thanks jedgerley.

Ahh, the Grand... it was a while back.

I mostly collect Horror Sci-fi, but as time has gone on I've deviated into all kinds of other genres; Still my collection is about 90% Quads.  As for the frames, I have a local fellow who does mine, he's very reasonable too.

I'm a fair way from you I live near Middlesbrough, on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. Don't be fooled it's a nice place up North. ;)

Well, I'm late to the party but Simon has an A+ MP website and social media, all too rare nowadays bc they require boatloads of time to create/update:
