Hello Everyone!
« on: March 20, 2017, 09:59:22 PM »
Hello Everyone! My name is Joe, and I'm addicting to movie memorabilia. Posters to be more specific. Okay, sorry about that. Really bad joke. I want to say that I'm really excited about joining the forum, and I look forward to learning from the masters. I have multiple posters, most are autographed and are either 27x40 or 11x17. I'm just starting to seriously collect, so if you have any suggestions on sources and any tips of what to watch out for, it would be much appreciated!  I know I'd love to track down an original Jurassic Park poster. I absolutely love that movie! Well, I shall bid everyone adieu before I keep blathering on. Glad to meet everyone!

Welcome to APF, so much thing to read and to learn here. I may have a Jurassic Park to trade or to sell (need to check but I used to have few). It 's also a common poster on auction. What is your latest poster aquisition Joe !?

I just joined myself and thought I would welcome you.

My first suggestion would be to read the posts on bootleg posters and some of the more nefarious things that can happen to you if you don't do your research.

Everyone here has been great! I've enjoyed every minute and all the banter.

You'll find tons of information on here and the members have all been fantastic!

Nice to meet you!

What's up, Joe!

Glad you found your way to the forum. As I mentioned to you before, there is a wealth of information and folks knowledgeable about the hobby, so I'm certain you'll be able to find answers to any of the questions you might have as you venture down the black hole of poster collecting.  ;)

For everyone else... Joe has an amazing collection of film scores on vinyl records. If you're on Instagram, you should give him a follow, @film_on_vinyl (I think that's right).

Anyways, welcome again!

Thank you everyone for the extremely warm welcome! It means a lot!  Canadian1sh, I recently acquired a pop up 3-D Creepshow poster! It's pretty awesome!

If it hasn't been mentioned already, the monthly thread in the 'Recent Acquisitions' category is a great place to start showing off the pieces you pick up as you start building your collection.

Hi Joe!  I second (er, third, er... seventh?) your welcome to the boards. I agree with what everyone here has already said. Everyone here is helpful, friendly and will answer questions. As Chris said, the new acquisitions thread is a great place to show us all what you've been getting. An alternative is to start your own collection thread ("Show us Your Collection"), which is what i do (in order to more or less keep track of what I have). Also, what 2footlong said about looking at the bootleg thread is very important---as there are scammers out there.  Anyway--WELCOME. We are super glad you are here.  CHEERS!
