That wasn't my question.  You said you put $8k on your credit card and it seems you did it in August.  So again, what did you get?

The owner of probably the last poster store in super-expensive rent Manhattan gave this 70s poster to me for free in 2014 - and it survived the 2015 purge with others in forgotten tube:



It was huge store, thousands of posters everywhere. He said he planned to close and go online. He even showed me the basement, had full-time employees linen-backing there.

That Tut poster sure has a very effective, eye tricking 3-D image,  Sundance.  Okie

Thanks guys! Nothing too fancy in "mystery survivor" tube - 20 posters, including Vertigo 1996rr, 2001 1980rr, several travel posters. So only 39/1900 survived Round 1, including 19 framed posters.

I reacquired these "she-devils with baditude"! I foolishly sold one of the very few remaining originals in 2015. I placed a permanent search on eBay for it 19 months ago and it unexpectedly popped up last week. ("Dynamite Women" was second title and its MP is much rarer than first's "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase.")

A cornucopia of rarity! In November 2012 these three "ridiculously rare" MPs graced my wall. (1) I spent countless hours trying to find this LAC international 1S. The seller found it in an LA poster shop. (2) An LA theater employee sold me the Pulp Fiction "Lucky Strikes" 1S. (3) The international TBL occasionally popped up on Ebay then. Sold all in 2015. Sad!

Bottom line is, don't sell.  Selling is easy, buying is hard.  Lesson learned.

Big Lebowski unexpectedly quadrupled from 2015-2017: $400 on eBay to $1700 on HA.

LACs have completely disappeared AGAIN.

Lucky Strikes will be $$$ forever.

*****

Lo and behold! Janis (1974) made an encore performance in my apt yesterday. Had this in 2012, sold in 2015, recently rebought. Uncommon 40x60 format.

Funny, the wildly entertaining "Ronnie Woods Show" is now showing in U.S. (AXS-TV). RW says that Janis chased him out the bathroom window exclaiming "give me the black hair one!"😂

Hi Mel...that third level. I have all of those posters. Have you been digging through my poster drawer? Ha!  LOOKS AWESOME! I may need to reconfigure my posters. I really like that multi-storied look. Bravo!

Can the frames be made to pivot to the right and you have another poster in the other side, effectively doubling the posters on the walls?   :P
