Buying Legitimate Posters - I am based in the UK
« on: January 14, 2021, 12:09:49 PM »
I am just starting out in the hunt for some original, authentic posters so it will take a little while for me to get up to speed with everything I need to be looking out for.

Is anyone else here based in the UK?

I would like to eventually purchase the original, authentic Goodfellas poster, is this something that is possible in the UK?

From my brief time looking into this, all I have found is that 99% of Official Authentic posters are based in the US.

If anyone else here is based in the UK I would appreciate hearing how you purchase your posters?

Or is it in fact for me to get the official posters I need to purchase from the US? I don't mind that, but I need to learn everything I can to know whether that is the case or not.

If it is the US, what delivery prices would I be looking at on top?

Thanks

It’s so insane to me that you haven’t been able to find one for less than $200.  It’s a recent flick, it shouldn’t be that expensive.  Bruce or HA will have one at some point.  Be patient.  The more you talk about it, the more you remind people that it exists.

Hi T!

I think the main issue is being based in England, with Brexit, the import and shipping fees now come in higher than the poster itself if I am buying from the US, so ideally need to find one in the UK.

Sorry could you remind me who Bruce is and what his site is? Is he UK based?

I'm based in the UK, and at the wrong end too.

As T says, i'm surprised you can't find a good fellows Quad for the £200 mark.  Let me have a dig about.

It's more than a Hobby...

Well, you Brits wanted to be left alone on your little island and your wishes came true.  Respect!  So don’t start complaining now and enjoy your newly found freedom!!!  Everything in life comes at a price.

Quad under 200..

I think he wants the OS rolled, double sided and mint.  Apparently a rarity these days.  Who knew.

Thanks for the links Paul.

As T says, I am actually after the One Sheet, Double Sided, Rolled version with the ratings box and not the Quad.

Appreciate you sending those links though, that rolled one is close, shame it wasn't double sided!
