Cool pics ups so far, this month.
Tang, are those 2 pieces in a frame? Or just under plexi to hold them flat while you filmed them?

I joined a while ago, but this is my first time posting acquisitions - after having them framed...

It's a cult classic film, and I've always loved the theatricality of the poster and the way it captures both the feel of the film and the serials which inspired it.

The original's a better movie, but this pastiche of Gone With the Wind is just brilliant and always makes me smile. The artwork is tremendous and the colours so vibrant. I had the UK quad of this since the film cMe out, and it was duller and a bit beat-up, so I had to go for this one sheet.

I'm a massive Trek fan, and consider this film a hugely underrated classic that's just so majestic in scale. The poster has been imprinted in my brain since youth, after seeing it on hoardings and reproduced in Marvel comics.
Al of these posters have been framed behind UV-resistant glass, and not dry-mounted. Flash is fine, but Fletch has shown some slight warping changes since being framed. Trek meanwhile has always shown some slight rippling from the top right since being framed. It's not typically very apparent, but this following picture highlights it.

The framer notes the poster had been rolled for some time, but I'm wondering if I should look at remedial action and how this could be avoided in future cases (I've got at least two more posters lined up).

Frightfully uncommon! A short US MP history lesson. In the late 70s/early 80s, 30/32 National Screen Services Exchanges were closed and most of their MPs were destroyed. But the Theater Poster Exchange in Memphis, Tennessee "ween" on US Ebay) has been selling its remaining stock on Ebay for years and today I got an unused "Tiger Woman" (1945 US 1S) from it!

Nice framing job, all the way around, Desk. Just curious... why did you use UV glass rather than plexi?
And the OS for Flash Gordon has cool imagery. Ive always liked that a lot, too.
Congrats on the pickups.

Thanks, Jeff. I went for Tru View Conservation Glass because I priced UV-resistant plexi and it cost an awful lot more (unless I'm missing a trick).
Ultimately, I was able to source Conservation Glass for just £28 or $37 a panel. I provided the glass to the framer, who charged me a further £40 ($53) for the framing. I was mindful of the weight of the glass and risk of heat transfer, though I live in a country with what's usually a very mild climate.
So I should expect some mild rippling of a poster when framed? That is, if it's not been linen-backed or, heaven forbid, dry mounted? I was wondering about taking the Trek one back for a try at an adjustment once it's had time to settle, as I was a little concerned about that rippling showing in that picture. I also wonder if the Fletch one is being held too tight in the frame, isn't getting enough chance to expand and contract, and that it may be suffering some distortion.
I have a 30x40 OS with that thicker paper off to be framed at present, but this one to be bordered by a mount. It's an absolute killer poster, so I'm really hoping for he best with that one.

Hey Desk,
Makes sense to use the UV glass if it was much cheaper...
As far as the rippling of your one poster... so you had this poster professionally framed.
A couple questions... What is on the back of the frame (what kind of backing board did he use?) Is it foam core?
Are clips used to hold the backing board against the back of the poster? Is the poster right up and pressed against the glass?
Looking at the ripples .. is it just in that one upper corner? Could the frame be even a few millimeters too small, and the poster is slightly "forced" in the frame? (Just a guess here). Sorry for all the questions..lol
Are you able to open the frame and see how the poster is laying inside? If that were mine, I would take the backing board off and check the fit of the poster.

Hi Jeff,
I don't believe it's foamcore that was used - but rather a smooth solid board (I did ask about foamcore). And I believe that the poster is held within the frame simply by being compressed between that and the glass, rather than being held by clips or photo mounts.
The framer cut the glass to match the poster, but I don't know how much excess space is around the margins of the poster as this is hidden behind the frame (and the frame is sealed with tape at the rear to the backing board, so I can't disassemble it to find out).
With the ripples in Trek, they do radiate down from the top right hand corner. However, the framer stated he had difficulty getting it to remain flat - suggesting this was a product of the poster having been kept rolled for many years. I can remove the ripples by pressing the backing board so it pushes the poster against the glass, but when that pressure is gone it just reverts back.

Hi Desk,
From looking at your detail pic again, and what looks like gentle, curved kind of waves in that corner, Im thinking again, that the poster isnt sitting right in your frame, (the frame was slightly too small).
As Neo's original (but deleted) post also mentioned, there should be some "breathing room" around the poster edges, too.
What I also dont get is why your framer said he had such difficulty keeping the poster flat while he framed it? Im sure this framer has dealt with many rolled prints, commercial posters etc in his day top day framing work? That comment is a little weird. Im hoping that he didnt decide to place it in a slightly smaller frame to help hold it flat and to try preventing it from rolling back up, while he was dealing with the backing board.
In any case, were it mine, I would be taking it back to the framer, and pointing that issue out to him. Something isnt right and the fact that you can apply pressure to that spot, and the ripples smooth out, confirms that. Your framer needs to correct that issue. You paid $$ for a service that is unacceptable (imho). Or at least send this detail photo to your framer and see what he/she says about it.
As Neo also had asked.. is there a wire on the back the frame, to hang it with? If not, than what? Hooks of some kind?

Hi Jeff,
Many thanks for taking the time to respond.
I went in to see my framer yesterday, but I'm not sure I've made any headway in addressing the situation with the Trek poster. He still says he's not sure why it's appearing as it is, and there hasn't been an offer as yet to open it up and look at it again. He's acknowledged that posters need 'a few millimetres' in the margins in order to breathe.
He currently has another recent acquisition of mine in for framing - this time a rolled 30x40 OS with thicker paper, which I've asked that he put in a mount... which should hopefully address the issue of too little space in the frame.
However, while those so far have been framed using UV-resistant Tru View glass, I have now discovered what appears to be a cheap source for UV-resistant Plexiglas...
https://www.cutplasticsheeting.co.uk/clear-acrylic-sheeting/anti-reflective-acrylic/
Would this appear to the truly clear, top grade stuff? It certainly appears to be the Plexiglas XT 100, which I understand is museum-quality stuff.
What I'm considering doing is asking him to frame that latest poster using a mount, this Perspex, and with spacers to create a space between the poster and Perspex. If that works, I might look at revisiting Trek with this approach and using that frame for something else.But with this approach, what do you use to hold the poster in place - if it's not being sandwiched? Do you use photo mount corners, or that non-sticky Scotch tape?
You and Neo asked about the rear, and what he's done is attached two screws on either side of the frame, holding a cord between them to hang the frame on a hook. But because of the glass, these are pretty heavy objects.
An alternative is to consider another framer, but here aren't really specialists near where I live. It tends to be general art and photography framing.

Hi Desk, Everything I've been taught on framing is never put paper right up against glass. I think you are seeing why first hand. The paper wants to naturally expand and contract as moisture levels, and temperatures change. I know plex works much better for me. Check out Sue Heim's Hollywood Poster Frames site as well for some good info on this as well. Okie

Hi Desk,
It sounds like your framer has kind of admitted that your TREK poster might be too snug a fit in that frame. Hence the rippling in that corner. And at a minimum, he should open the frame, with you there, so that you can both see if the poster is literally against the interior edge of the frame, causing too tight a fit. Then it would be up to him to remedy that, since (and if that IS the case), he did not give you what you paid for, frame-wise.
So for your framer to say he isnt sure why the rippling is happening, yet not offering to open it, is odd and makes no sense. Unless he's worried about that, and knows he'd have to make you a new frame that holds the poster properly.
As far as that acrylic that you found online, just based on reading it's Key Features on the website sure sounds like a right choice, as far as its properties and UV reflective ability:
Plexiglas Gallery Anti-Reflective Acrylic has set a new standard for artwork protection and reflects up to 99.7% of UV light. Plexiglas XT Gallery anti-reflective/anti-glare acrylic offers much more protection compared with conventional picture glass (float glass). This material has a finished surface that restricts the reflective qualities often found with gloss acrylics.
This special photographic acrylic is ideal for use in galleries, exhibitions, shops and the home. It is ideal for framing where the image is in direct contact or is touching the anti-reflective acrylic. If the image is not directly touching and completely in contact with the acrylic across the entire surface, it will appear very frosted and distorted - even if the gap is only a few millimetres.
Also known as museum acrylic.

I've ordered a sample of the Plexiglas XT 100UV to see what it's like, and whether I'd need 2mm or 3mm thickness.
I'm thinking that with my latest acquisition I'll look to go Plexiglass, and placed on a mount so as to be sure of guaranteeing room in the frame for the poster to expand/contract.
Do I need spacers to keep the poster back from the Plexiglas if it doesn't conduct heat or humidity? Also, I now see you can purchase acid-free tape to affix the poster to the mount, but how do you do that without restricting the poster's ability to expand/contract?
Anyway, I'm conscious that I'm taking this thread away from its purpose, so apologies.

Desk, we can split your framing questions off, and make it your own thread at some point, too, so that's not a problem. (And also put it in the Framing & Storage board, so that it doesnt get gobbled up in this thread or later forgotten about).
-
Desk, there are a variety of archival tapes made for posters and artwork, to attach pieces to mounts or backing boards. They are acid free and pH balanced and made just for that purpose.
Lineco makes a variety of archival tapes including this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lineco-Adhesive-Linen-Hinging-white/dp/B0027A5E34

Hi! to all,
First poster I've bought in quite some time so thought I may as well post it here :)
It's an A1 size German poster (first German poster I've ever bought) in nice folded condition for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom by an artist named "Reynolds" not ever looked into German posters before but I was pretty impressed with the unique artwork on this poster and feel the likeness's of the characters is quite excellent IMO, it's also my first Indiana Jones poster, so pleased to add it to the collection ;D
-
as concerns the Star Trek poster and why it is wavy
clearly, it has absorbed moisture and is warped in that area. The only way to fix that is by linenbacking the poster

Lol, yeah I hear you mate, I appreciate it's not everyone's favourite in the Indiana Jones series, personally I don't mind it myself, I can watch all three movies in the original trilogy quite easily, at least Temple of Doom is 100 times better than Crystal Skull ;)

Love Temple of Doom. I saw it as a child and it remains one of my favorite 80s flicks. N2 after Raiders. So much fun.

This^
That pretty much sums up my memories of Temple of Doom, as I said I like all three of the original trilogy, but, I have to say that when I was little Temple of Doom was the one I must have seen the most times, I remember watching it many times along with films like The Goonies and Back to the Future and other stuff like that.

I respect that assessment, but have to say that I don't see how it's possible.
When I received the poster I unrolled it and it didn't display any sign of warping. Instead, this phenomenon was apparent from the moment it was framed - so I'm not sure it would have had any opportunity to absorb moisture.

where was it displayed?
the poster could have absorbed environmental moisture. But it is definitely a sign of moisture for that poster

Not necessarily...
Well said here:
I have about 45 or so HPF frames, so I'm a big HPF fan.
I normally use one clip at the top center. You'll notice that the clips often create unsightly "compression waves," which become worse over time, so I use them sparingly.
Really, at this point I've been spoiled by mylar and linen-backed posters and art prints, which look perfect framed.
This can also happen with wood frames and points, when the points are too strongly pressed against the backing board. Also, as has been mentioned, when the frame is too small, and/or when the frame is hung with a wire across the back - that can exert pressure on the sides of the frame.

thanks pal.
sadly I already will have too much to bring and when you fly, that isn't much. I actually will be shipping 5 or more boxes ahead of the trip. Maybe 10 boxes. I hope I can sell it out at the show maybe, so I don't have to ship any back!

Hey everyone,
New member from Australia posting for first time. Don't have biggest collection but have a big level for Movies and especially the large vinyl banners. Have just recently done a home renovation to have a home cinema so have just started to put some on display to give a cinema feel, I'm big sci fi fan so most of the posters I have in this genre.
Loving the posts though, always great to see what else is around in the collecting world.

The creepy art is by Jano.

It was made to piggyback off the success of THE EXORCIST. Due to plot similarities, Warner Bros sued and won, receiving a cash settlement and a % of the movie's future profits.

Interesting poster for sure there Jeff thumbsup.gif must be honest never heard of the film before though, I assume you've watched the film? or did you just like the poster?
-
I saw the movie... but a long time ago... pretty mediocre, to be honest. But there are a number of other cool posters that were done for the movie, so when I tripped across this one, I decided to snag it.

Fair enough Jeff, the poster certainly has something about it for sure and your 100% right about it having a creepy vibe about it.

Hi Eric160634, That's a crazy, fun Jaws poster from India! I really like how the top art looks like they were really trying to make it look more local. Message: Jaws is everywhere!

Cool looking JAWS poster there, eric Congrats on snagging both of these posters. thumbsup.gif
Just curious about the JAWS poster. At the bottom section, with all the credits, is that a large, white snipe that has been attached to the poster? Or are the credits printed?
Reason I ask is that it looks like it slightly overlaps or is against the bottom edge of the row of photos.
And if it is an added snipe, I wonder what the original printed title and text look like?

I think it is more an awkwardly designed section rather than a snipe. It is almost as if one person did the top two thirds of the poster and someone else did the credits without having seen the top section.

It's cool to see this poster again. I haven't seen mine in 10 years (it's buried in a flat file) and I haven't seen another one for sale ever since. If I had seen yours, I would have probably given you a run for it, because I like to own two of the rare ones. I'm also happy to see that what I considered defects on mine are also on yours (I checked my picture). Those white spots on the side are printing defects, I guess, Nice one!!!

Thanks T. I was worried you would get involved in the bidding;D I gambled on this one buying from a brand new eBay seller from India with 0 feedback but I felt it was worth the risk to get something this rare. It was a big relief when the package arrived and was in the expected condition.

Enter Dragon 45th anniversary........
"The Olsen Gang and Computer Harry" norway lobbys , 40 yrs this august (very very rare , esp in this nice shape.....unfortunately it's almost impossible to find the first Olsen titles & if you find them they're pretty beat up , I really want "Olsen vs the king and the jack" alas......)
Finding complete sets......lol , in your dreams , they're so rare :-\
Trivia :
usually Computer Harry is known as Dynamite Harry as he loves to blow things up , he was only a tech wiz for this movie then he became his usual dynamite self , Dynamite Harry also loves beer a little too much lol
The King (real name Viktor Emanuel) and the Jack are enemies of the gang and as the names suggest they're related : The King is The Jacks uncle
The King was played by Henki Kolstad (RIP) , who is a giant in Norwegian show biz both in films & TV....talked with him in '03 , he was so down to earth
-
I dont know anything about Bruce Lee material, Tang, but these all look to be in really nice condition.
Congrats on getting these pieces.
Why are complete sets so rare and hard to find? Were they printed in fewer numbers?
-
They were simply thrown away (or collectors refuse to put them on market) , for a long time I wasn't even sure if they had lobbys but they do (I should've known , he he)
There are at least 3 different turkish Enter posters......
-
Some recent acquisitions, in no particular order but all of the large paper variety...
-
Fantastic haul, there, Ben... as usual. thumbsup.gif
Have you ever put all of your collection together on any kind of site, so everything is viewable? Yours is one collection site that I would definitely like to visit from time to time, too.
Im liking these ones, especially, too:

Yep, more great stuff.
Was thinking about that Dead Man's Eyes myself (I'm a big Acquanetta fan), so I'm very glad to see it went to a good home.

If Dead Man's Eyes is a six sheet, that means Lon Chaney Jr.'s head is nearly 4 feet tall! Acquanetta must be two feet tall on the lower left as well. Awesome! Okie
-
Thanks Crowzilla, I love Acquanetta too!
Yes Okie, Dead Man’s Eyes is a 6-sheet, so ol’ Lon’s head is huge indeed!
Jeff, I’m too lazy to put my poster collection online, but who knows, maybe one day I will get around to do it. For now I tend to focus most of my attention on other areas of my collecting habit, such as Old Master paintings and rare books. Movie posters are just for fun.
-
Nice haul, Antoine. The Dead Mans Eyes 6-sheet is great. The 6-sheet to Pillow Of Death is also a good one with huge head shot of Chaney looking quite crazed.
-
Anyone actually seen this movie, looks like a gem!

Maybe you can tell Reddit users that it is the only known copy in your quest for 10,000 likes...

Nice price, Mel. And it looks in mint condition, as it should be.

You got those 9 Star Wars posters for $1,500? The birthday poster itself is worth more now.

This little freebee was included with some other things that came today. I'm guessing it's a flyer of sorts, kind of like a chirashi. It's French and measures about 10x13 inches, with printed text on the back. I've never seen this size flyer from France before.
It's for Hammer's FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974) with Cushing and David Prowse, as the Monster.
The same art was used on the French 1P.
Artist is Faugere

Those are absolutely amazing, Dale.
I've been trying to collect up these along with many other titles from Charles Band's Empire back catalogue; hard to find many looking this good/rolled.

If I knew what these movies were, and if I had seen them, I would for sure love these posters. They’re great.
