  • Breaking Bad just hit Foxtel for a repeat run...I have watched it just the once when it first came on sooo I hit the record button and will watch it all again.

    yay.
  • Gawd damn that was a great show!

    Well the gameplan was to rotate ALL of my framed posters MONTHLY.

    But so far I've rotated ZERO but I've bought 15 new frames and I've filled three of them, including JR. It's a gold mylar poster, so it reflects sunlight on the arms: (Which is what you want to check out, right?)


  • Mel nice collection and picks up. You may want to keep your posts to 3 images altogether. It makes it easier for some of us to read. It also makes it easier to quote. Nice Wonder Woman posters I was given six posters for the new film myself.

  • Very clever, pretty good art on the Riding on Air too
  • Yeah “Riding on Air” is a “sleeper hit” in my collection. No knowledge at all about the movie or its stars but the adventuresome, happy spirit of the twosome always puts me in a good mood.... B)
  • Joe E Brown was a huge comedic star in his day.
    Always know it was good purchase when you walk past a poster and it puts a smile on your dial.

    Lotsa peeps say I'm kooks for buying posters from movies I know absolutely nothing about.

    But I like being ignorant! Many of the movies are probably mediocre. And I like imagining the possible plot lines.

    The "Third Key" is a perfect example. So many possibilities....

    * I can't imagine only buying posters of movies Ive seen?  Ive heard there are collectors like that. To me it's all about the art. And yeah for some of my pieces imagining what the movie was like is fun!



  • Oh, great pickups Mel! Brown and Russell pieces look wonderful!

    Agreed and great MP.....

  • For me it is sometimes about the movie, most times about the art but everytime about the thrill of getting something that has some history.

    I totally lucked out by my apt. choice in Jan. 2016 when I moved to Charlotte.

    My sisters checked out 10+ apt. complexes for me and showed me four.

    I just randomly - and very luckily - picked this one with little thought and zero planning.

    First, this apt. is on the first floor (has four floors with 200 apts.),  very close to the pool and is in the sunniest area. So the entire summer a flood of 20-something femmes camp out a few feet from my balcony! 

    Second, it just happens to have 14 ft. ceilings, by far the tallest in the complex. I gave this no consideration at all when I selected itsince I had only 19 one sheet posters left (just 1% of the 1900 MPs I purchased from 2009-2015). I also had only 20 frames left (out of 100 purchased during the same period.) I had no plans to rebuild my collection.

    The MPs/frames sat unhung in my bedroom for a year. Then I hung up four. Then May 2017 came and the MP fever hit again. In four months I had a $50K collection of MPs and frames, 1/3 the value of my first collection.

    *****

    So now I have 34 frames and space for 15-20 more thanks to the high ceiling.

    My bro-in-law kindly helped me hang 10 last night. His home ins. co. for some reason bought him a super-fancy $400 ladder extendable to 20 ft. so he was eager to make use of it.

    Voila!

    Great space for my 40x60 and quad:

    I think you missed a spot for a lobby next to the box of Kleenex. :wink:

    looks great! Love the mix of old a new paper! 
  • Wunderbar!
  • 14' stud make all the difference.
  • Nice stuff Mel!
  • The craziness has once again penetrated my noggin, kinda like this:

    Specifically, I'm going to make a serious run at this hyper-rare ST:




    It's insanely expensive - in 2014 it went for 17K - but I've got some Round 1 poster sale funds left and I'm selling my BAT so I could mostly pay in cash and it's very unlikely to depreciate:

    For years I've considered it one of the Top 5 post-1940 MPs since it is pure "pop art," very rare in MP world:




  • JM IN THE HOUSE!

    Mondo haters, a pox on thee!


  • Groovy/cool FM hits the wall. It's a rolled 1S, extremely rare for the 1960s era.

    CMP/DL sold these super-rarities:
