Looks good, Mel. That Vertigo just shines...such a great poster.

Have you noticed any difference in the DS version compared to the Video version (other than the line in the credits about being available on VHS and Laserdisc)?

I just compared them this morning. The video one sheet is quite good and equal in quality to the DS version.  Too bad it has such an obvious video line because I paid quite a premium for the DS version.

Thanks - I have the video and am tempted to upgrade to the DS one day. I quite like the VHS/Laserdisc line though, it's quite unobtrusive and something to look back on and smile about in 30 years time when physical media could have long since died.

Well I shelled out $200 for mine, which is way too much but is the going rate these days.  On the other hand it is only 3% of the cost of an original.

Yeah those stickies are pretty cheesy. I used to print them on labels but got lazy. Slowly but surely the legal biz is going paperless anyway and these are mostly older files that should be archived.

This Gun For Hire (1945rr US 1S) arrived today.  Looks pretty good, only issue is moderate acid-tanning:

Some beauties from yesteryear:

The Tiger Woman (1945 US 1S) is striking and very rare - thanks to Charlie for repairing/LBing it:



Here's a B&W photo of Adele Mara (with stuffed tiger):



Betty Grable's $1,000,000 leeeeeeeeeeeegs.....

She is much more attractive in this photo.  I never would have guessed...

Seriously Mel, can't see why the woman don't just love you and your hobby - your taste in women is to be admired.

The wall does look good, a little full, but pretty impressive

When you have good looking women all over the walls you need to bring an even better looking woman home.  8)

Got around to framing a couple of new linens - needs some more plus-sized frames to fit these.....
