Which one would you keep?

Hi there

I have the ESB Australian 1 sheet folded and looks to be unused and a rolled Japanese b1.



Thanks

I have both too.

I prefer the B1 - the art is 'fuller' (less cropped/cramped) and the printing looks sharper (although I don't think I've ever compared them side by side to fully confirm that).

I think the Aussie will probably always command a higher price because of the English title though, so if you need to raise funds, maybe sell the Aussie one sheet?

Ok I'll phrase it differently, which design do you prefer, they do look slightly different.

I will take them out and compare thanks

I own almost 2,000 Japanese posters, B1s and B2s, so obviously I’m a fan of the designs, but for this specific design, the Aussie 100%, no question.  Just better layout, imo.  But I would still keep both.  They’re great posters.

AU without question. It will always bring more return if offered side by side.

Looks like the Australian one is the winner
