All Poster Stuff

[Ari]

Some of the posters are huge though, house on haunted hill is a three sheet and invasion of body snatchers a six sheet for example, oh easy rider a three sheet.
It is nice to see,

[50s]

The posters he has upstairs in his house are even better (from memory)... well, its a bit hard to beat that 6 sheet though

[Ari]

Yes, much better in his personal collection, but that's not for me to show,
And I guess better is subjective, Kerry and I have very different tastes.
But regardless you can't help but be impressed by some of them.

[Zorba]

That TWA Greece is an okay poster.

that's a cool dude...film poster collector with expert framing skills - like chocolate and peanut butter    

Ari -  few questions for your friend...

-is that one piece of plexi on the 6sh?   If so, is it hard to obtain? 
-How did he frame? -  looks extremely well done.   

[Ari]

Ill ask about plexi, as to how? Well I guess he is a framer and will say thanks it is well done, haha.
H has a Lolita six sheet he wants to put in the frame but the size is different sad
Y after he got it backed he realised.

Question about Jaws poster US OS first release.

Does anyone know if the paper for this poster is very thin to the point of being almost transparent?  I came across an unfolded Jaws poster but the paper looked a bit odd to me.  I am just curious...I have only one poster from the 70s and the paper was thin, but not as much as this one. Size looked alright.

Thank you!!

alot of posters are that way Rosa. I haven't had a Jaws 1sh in a while, so I don't recall, but I don't see why it isn't possible

[Mirosae]

Thanks Rich..

I've noticed and been concerned about these rolled thin posters.  I don't recall the folded Jaws I handled to be super thin.  However I've handled some rolled Eastwood stuff and compared to a folded counterpart, there is a significant difference almost tissue paper thin.  Almost to the point where it seems the ink is thicker than the paper...  This is where some of the guys having knowledge of perhaps studio issued versus NSS may be the ticket...

Charlie may have nailed it. I wonder if Freeman Fisher would know?

My folded JAWS one sheet is thin (like many from the 70s), but not quite to the point of being "transparent."
It sounds like this discovery was at a shop?
Did you express your concerns to the owner?

Rosa, how's this.. seeing as I was shooting pics for my auction I was handling the posters and yeah.. they are translucent

I shot this photo for you and you can clearly see both the printing that is on the top side as well as seeing through to the text on the opposite side

this is a poster for the Train Robbers (1975) with John Wayne

[Mirosae]

Thank you all for helping out with this!

@Charlie: Yes, you nailed it. It felt almost like tissue paper very delicate.

@Ted: Yes, I did ask the owner, who told me it was his own copy from when he lived in Texas. He said that he always thought it was printed on a very cheap paper, so that made me wonder[?]

@ Rich: Thanks! that's a great pic, very helpful. Like in yours, I  could see all the colours from the back. It was so thin and delicate I was really afraid it could break ( I nearly had a nervous breakdown when I put it back inside the thick plastic file).

I was curious to know if this sounded like the normal thing to you. JAWS is one of those posters that I have learnt to appreciate thanks to APF. I never bothered too much in the past with it, but have to say. It is a striking looking poster.

You gotta love that teeth 

Thank you all!

Rosa, I am curious - did Bogart play one of the mechanical sharks?
