Title: Favorite Purchases of 2018
Post by: Monster_A_GoGo on December 12, 2018, 01:14:01 AM

The year is winding down. As we have in the past, I thought I'd jump in and start the list of our favorite purchases of the year. For me, it was not a banner year....but I still had some jewels mixed in with the crap. Here are my favorite purchases this year:

10):  JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

Ha, this is never an easy proposition.  Just remembering is a challenge.  Got a few good things this year.  Or at least I think I did.  It's always in the eye of the beholder.  One person's treasure is shit to someone else.  We all have different taste, but that's what makes it interesting.  Still bought more than 1,000 posters, less than previous years though.  A new baby and moving again slowed me down a bit ;)  Lots of Bardots of course...  Gotta finish this collection so I can move to something else.  Some of my favs...

And a bunch of other stuff...  What I can remember.

I'll add more as I remember them.

Love the French poster for "Day the Earth Stood Still", I need to get one of these!

For some reason, I can't post my top 10 purchases of 2018 in one single post, so I'm trying again by breaking it down into 2:

10): "Not of this Earth" half-sheet

9): "The Green Slime" Italian 2F

8): "Son of Dracula" OS

7): "Fantastic Voyage" UK quad

6) "The Indestructible Man" 3-sheet

5): "The 2 Faces of Dr. Jekyll" Italian 2F

4): "Dead Man's Eyes" 6-sheet

3): "The Mummy's Curse" 3-sheet

2): "Revenge of the Creature" 2F

1): "The Mummy's Hand" OS

Wow there is some amazing stuff in this thread so far. I don't really have much desire to obtain horror posters myself, but I really appreciate them. Those Bardot posters are stunning. She is one of my favorites. Am hoping to add a really nice French poster of hers from the 50's or early 60's. Speaking of which, one of my New Year's resolutions is going to be to learn more about non-US vintage posters. The graphics on so many of them just floor me. That Eastwood is an example of what I am talking about. Just catches the eye. I just don't know enough about them yet.

Hope to see more..keep em coming!

For me, its about the lobby cards, especially those of classic musicals.  I completed my final collecting goal this year of a card from each Astaire/Rogers musical.

It would be nice to see what other people who post regularly on this forum bought.  Only 6 people so far.

I'm adding this one I got from Bruce yesterday.  I guess it's in my top 20 of the year.

I was the underbidder on that. It's the last Chandler 1 sheet I needed, other than replacing STrangers on a Train with a raw, folded copy

Wow that is a stunning poster. Such a great movie as well.

I am in awe at what I am seeing. I have already posted most of my good additions elsewhere, as I just got back into the hobby a few months ago. I will repost them and a few others tomorrow.

Vick, can you imagine how people would react today if we asked them to limit their cell phone time?  I was involved in emergency response work in Puerto Rico after last year's hurricanes, and phone use did become a priority with so many cell towers and other communications infrastructure down.  Okie

Antoine, I have that Dead Man's Eye's 6 sheet also.
since I was 10 years old. It's the piece in my possession the longest of anything I can think of.

alright.. as a collector, 2018 was very good to me. I may have added close to 400 pieces, most of which were posters and stills of course, but also scripts and other items.

This may be my single 'favorite' add to my collection this year. I have the envelope it was mailed in also.

here are some cool & hilarious posters I had been looking for and was finally able to snag.

was trying to find this for some time.

as a collector of John Carpenter, adding this as well as several other scripts for Carpenter films is a real thrill

Some really awesome stuff as always everyone, keep sharing.

Have not had much time to post this year or keep up on photographing purchases but thought I should throw something in here at least. Most of my favorites have been purchased within December and so far only one of those has arrived so far.

Two that make my favorites list for the year include finally upgrading my folded Star Wars Style C Domestic Spanish one sheet to a nice rolled one. The second just arrived Christmas Eve and is from one of my favorite monster movies when I was  kid, Gamera vs. Guiron, Japanese STB. Actually remember sitting in front of the TV in the 70's watching it for the first time. There are two more that make the list but I will wait for them to arrive before posting.

Thanks Okie.

To date, I have not framed any of my STB's though that will change very shortly, likely with Gamera. In my defense though, I own a whopping four of them all purchased in the last few months.

How can you forget that wonderful mylar?!?!?!? Just kidding, one of my all time favorite text posters for any movie.

A few more of mine arrived that make my list for this year. One of my all time favorites, '54 release Seven Samurai B2. A set of TOHO Godzilla three sheets. Images aren't great, stitched them together to make the full poster. Each is roughly 41"x87" made up of three B1 size pieces. Anyone getting the feeling I've been on a Japanese kick this year?

I’m very familiar with the Japanese poster you are referring to. I own both folded and rolled examples of it. This poster is different!

Victory or Death (1913) Italian 8-foglio.

I meant it imight be a japan official repro from '75 of the original Hong Kong poster - which was inserted into the japan LP record sleeves as a bonus btw

This is found factory folded but i guess there could be rolled specimens out there of this "LP record poster" but never seen one rolled in 20 yrs and would question it if i saw one for sale.

The real '72 HK 1sh was never on glossy paper like this or rolled....usually the real ones are much darker than the glossy bootlegs and almost forget about finding mint specimens - huge chunks or missing pieces not uncommon , its a huge problem with bootleg 70s/80s HK 1shs , ive yet to see real HK rolled , 99.9% theyre fakes - they were always factory folded. Most rolled glossy bootlegs come out of HK.

Never seen any kung fu fakes from Singapore though , they are a lot safer to buy.
