Mark's Collection

Charlie

I hate the BTTF and Star Wars both are collections I have hesitated to start but haven't. So want them... Jealous!!!! Plenty of time, plenty of time...

Eisenhower

LOL! Thanks guys! I stumbled upon the BTTF's & Rocky-might be getting rid of one of the BTTF's. You all have such deep collections! I started my Star Wars collection last year-have the Stsr Wars OS style D (rolled), the ESB in a 30x40, but still waiting to get pick up the Jung for a good price. Not too mention I still need a Jaws, Scarface, High Plains Drifter, .......

Sven

I need something jaws too, I'm quite tempted with the Laurent duriex info print

Sven

Or a jaws 60x40!

Eisenhower

Wow Sven! Just googled Duriex, nice artwork- The Jaws beach poster is nice! As are his others I saw. Jaws 60x40 kinda rare aren't they?

Sven

Yeah hard to find the 60x40, cinemasterpieces might have one at an exorbitant amount. Last I saw was eBay auction last year, but far and few.

Eisenhower

Cinemasterpieces...nice selections...but I'd need a lottery winning is right.

Not real dramatic imagery but it's all about the story...first one was quite good.

I absolutely love this artwork. It was one of my choices for this week's theme. Congratulations!!!

Eisenhower

Thanks Rosa, it's definitely a classic image from the 70's. I remember watching the movie in the theater as a kid. Popcorn flying everywhere!!! >-

Eisenhower

Bought in early 2000's...an early linen backed piece! :-O

David

Heeeeey that's nice!

Eisenhower

Thanks David, I bought the poster years ago for $90! --
Then had it linenbacked, with intentions to frame one day. Today, would spend the $ differently. I love the poster though!, one of Stewart's lesser known movies...

David

Best reason to spend money on a poster is because you like the look of it.

Anyway, very few of us could say they started in this hobby smart, most of us could say we're wiser as a result.

Mirosae

Oh..James stewart!! Fantastic >-

Sven

Nice jimmy piece Mark! Have not watched the movie so will have to. $90 sounds ok for something u don't see often and David's comment reasonates.

Eisenhower

Thanks all! Oh yeah, exactly right David-as I've put in two good years of immersing myself as much as I can in prices and variety, my price-I'll-pay IQ has increased. Although poster knowledge lags behind most on VMPF. lotta work still to do. ---
I guess I laugh at myself for the $90 cause today I don't think it was worth that when I bought it-it's nicely restored though!

David

If it only cost you $90 on the way to increasing your poster collecting IQ then I am too embarassed to mention what it it has cost me.  $-)

Sven

Hopefully we'll all even out in the wash..Hopefully!

Eisenhower

yeah, I guess there's a cost to every learning curve...Im ok with enfew I've had-they'll stay in my collections till I pass! ---- and if i can score some bargains in the next decade...it'll even out! >-

Eisenhower

Couple of WWII era OS's...

Eisenhower

David

Really love your style Mark!

Eisenhower

Thanks David! Collecting has become a great distraction to the stress of life! It's a lot of fun looking at others posters as well!

Well said...except for the first two words. :-\"

Eisenhower

First OS I purchased from EMP when i started collecting again in 2013...B movie but good images...

Paul

Ohhh, I do like a Submarine film Poster, Jollynice Mark.

Eisenhower

Thanks Paul, I don't have nearly as many planes, tanks, ships or sub posters as I'd like-always good artwork!

It's a cracker and great design artwork . Haven't seen that one before

David

Nice.

I looked up on Wiki: "The film was the last in a series of three Pine-Thomas adventure films that included Forced Landing (1941) and Flying Blind (1941)" - looks like you've got a couple of others to chase down to complete...  

Eisenhower

Thanks David, did not know that---looked these up-----images courtesy of EMP--your right will be on the watch for these!...
