Well after two months in transit (including one RTS) my Grace Kellys arrived. The High Society Half sheet is pretty much flawless.  I would put it up against any other copy.  Thought I was getting the red one but this one will do.  It has one faint 2" wrinkle, else I almost thought it was fake when I pulled it out of the tube... Ahh what a sight!

Replaced the pic so you could get a better understanding of how nice it is.  The first shot was a bit shadowy...

On my walls (so far):



In my study/office: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Gone With The Wind (R73), The Graduate




On the other wall in my study/office (Born Yesterday)




Paramount stock poster circa 1915. In the foyer/entrance.




OK, technically not on the wall but about to be, outside our bedroom. My wife loves Betty Boop, so this was a Xmas gift 2 years ago and has just been shifted from its former wall. It is an exact reproduction in terms of paper used and printing style, colours etc etc...however, I am always on the look out for the genuine article...

The Paramount piece in the foyer is top-notch.

Love this, great framing and placement.

Thierry, I thought you were anti-half sheet? Or will you be jumping on board our team like you did with Team Mondo? ;)

No, I'm not anti half sheet.  I don't think I've ever said that.  I love half sheets for having a different design than one sheets.  I did say I'm anti Belgian, locandinas, daybills and inserts, though :)

Very good. Actually I don't think you ever did say you were against the format known as the half sheet, just know you like bigger stock.

I am a big fan of half sheets and inserts, love the stock they are printed on, the colors and design pop more than their one sheet brothers.

You're right, Inserts can be cool.  I don't own many, but I like the ones I do.  Like these two:

Those are two good ones. Not sure how many I have, 25-30 maybe...

Was that Cj's Dirty Harry?

Is that an original display case? I am loving it. A lot.

I must see if I can pick one up here in my travels one day...

My father-in-law made it for me.  It opens up from the bottom with a black velvet background.  I'm very grateful he did, because otherwise I would have no posters up at the house.

A work in progress as I unpack and refind things in storage. Note the lack of frames.

YEs its BLUE TACKED to the wall, it was cheap had it for years, nobody ever seemed to want to buy it, so I enjoy it (a quite disturbing SHAW BROS Italian 2F).



Some daybills, LCS and a nice Jesus and Mary light box thingee.





Some Val Lewton, Some Stanley Baker, some Russ Meyer (Kitten) even some Marlene.



One for Rich, got it in las Vegas 2001 and its still like new ($10 from Walmart)

Yeah, that explains why the posters are covered in plastic... easy to wipe down the blood splatter

Very nice display of posters Ari  thumbup
