Star Wars posters!

It is the NSS style B. Nothing too special although there are less of them than the studio version.

Thanks!

Don't think I will get any complaints on outing this one so here goes.

Apparently S2 posters of the Star Wars style D are now being made. The image used on the E-Bay website is of a folded copy so I am unsure if it is supposed to come looking like a folded poster for the print or if it is a stock shot from another poster. In either case I find it a bit surprising especially considering it is probably the easiest of the original film posters to find in nice clean condition at that price or even less for a folded copy. If it is a stock shot and considering they say that Struzan and  White are involved I am curious to see what it comes across as.

Star Wars Style D S2 Print

I asked and here is the reply.

Thank you for contacting DaVinci Emporium. I don't see any fold lines in this image. This is our image and it is of a Fine Art Hand Pulled Lithograph of the Circus Style Star Wars Poster. There are NO fold lines.

I didn't know these people had a website.  They sell jewelry too 

I checked the SW poster.  Two things that popped for me...

"This is not a print or reproduction. It is a remastered, recreated, original work of art."   
 
"Comes with a certificate of authenticity from the ReSociety."   

What a load of crap!

I have and do still own a pile of Style D's over the years both rolled and folded and sorry but these sure look like fold wear to me. Those lines are not on any of teh rolled copies I have had.

I have a feeling that they put it into the artwork for an added authentic look. There is nothing written in the bottom border that reflects either NSS or studio info found on all of the originals so that ads another indicator that they added fold marks to the artwork to me.

And is it just me, or do those added fold lines look "sloppy" and not sharp, like machine folds should appear?

And another thing....

When you can buy a nice bootleg Style A or C for under $100, I'm very curious to know why they think a Style D print is worth $300?

Because it has a certificate of authenticity from the ReSociety. I wouldn't go anywhere without this.

I'm on my way to Kinko's.  If all it takes is a CoA from some bullshit service, I'd be a fool not to take advantage of it.  Here comes the competition, DaVinci.

LOL, of course! How silly of me. Good thinking on your part

And we certainly know what these kinds of COAs are worth.

Pretty nice B1 for SWR1 went for $366 last night:

[eatbrie]

It actually sold for less than the previous two, which is understandable due to its lesser condition.  I think it's the best Rogue One poster.

Ridiculous... can't wait until the "buy Japanese posters" fad is over so they get back to reasonable prices. 

[eatbrie]

I agree.  I had something like 10 Japanese posters that I wanted from Bruce last night and could only afford two.  People seem to totally overspend on those.

The print quality on that one is amazing as well... super high res, incredible detail, and almost 3D effect in person.

And posed in front of a green screen, or other photoshopped creation.

These kinds of photo-based posters are a dime a dozen these days, and super easy to produce. Someone probably churned this out in an hour (or less). 

A "click of a button" on a keyboard makes it easy these days.

I agree, it's quite nice.  Maybe not $500 nice, though.  But hey, there are a lot of SW completists out there, and not too many B1s floating around, so I understand why some collectors would overbid on something like this.  Who knows when the next one will pop up.  If I didn't already own a couple, I'd have probably gone for it.  Not the last one, too damaged, but the ones before. 

I remember when I bought my B0s for the original trilogy, I thought I overpaid, but I have yet to see them again on the market.  So I'm okay with it.  It is what it is.  If you're a completist and you miss it, you might wait a long time before another one surface, and then it might cost you even more. 

My Jedi 6sht, I paid $2k for it, which I thought was ridiculous.  And then a lesser condition one sells at Emovie for $10k.  That's the game.

There are some posters I still need for my SW collection.  If I see them and I lose, I guarantee the winner will pay a hefty price.

I always liked these, even if they are a little repetitive. Never seen them though.

[Tob]

Nice, I saw the digital images of those, but good to know they were actually printed.

I'd do bad things for those and the Force Awakens set (that Dale has and shared...I did get a Rey from that set, but the seller changed their mind and refunded me).

Do we have a 'character posters' type thread in the genre sub-forum? Even though the designs are often a bit bland, I like them! The completist itch perhaps.

[skyjackers]

Funny, I was just searching to see if one had been made. I think Character posters are worthy of their own section. Question is, do you need to own them to post them?

Shame about the Rey poster 

[Tob]

I don't think ownership is a must...else we wouldn't have seen these cool ones you just posted!

You must have some good Burton ones, so I think you should start one and I'll dig out some photos to add to it too

[skyjackers]

Good point! I'll start a thread and add these for now. When I have a little more time I'll see what I can dig out. One restriction I think we should have though is that they need to have been printed in some form somewhere!

I meant the B1 print quality in particular -- much nicer than comparable 1-sheets, quads, etc... IIRC it is also a unique design. Did any other countries use this image?
