Separate section for television posters
« on: December 18, 2009, 01:56:49 PM »
I recommend a separate section for television posters.  Ebay differentiates them and has 5,000+ television posters for sale now.  Right now the "Lost" posters are awkwardly stuck in Graphics Arts section:

Those could be said to belong in the Graphic Arts section, just like the Alamo Drafthouse posters.  They could belong in a TV posters section, but that would be more for network issued promotional posters than commissioned art work.

Thanks.  You know what you did.

You are correct that the Lost Arg posters is a commissioned series, however Ebay is selling them in the Television Memorabilia section - not in the poster arts section. See here:

Having a separate TV posters section would also distinguish this forum from other forums - not sure if any other forum has a TV posters section.

I say go for it !!! The more sections the better .. If you dont like it you can minimize those sections .. Having them doesnt hurt anyone .. But not having them may exclude some members :(

This is another of the threads being considered, especially with the fact that I have some material dear to me for Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and a few others that really fits the TV section more than anything.
