2020 Reflections
Well it’s almost over - 2020... VMPF saw its 6th year. Boy, time flies! I was worried most of 2020 thinking it would take forever to see a potential vaccine and the new year.
On the poster collecting front, I ended 2019 with a Star Wars bang racking up the Stye A and ROTJ 3SH. I start 2020 getting my Angels with Dirty Faces Restored. Dario rescued me with a fresh resto of Tax Driver at some point. I missed out on that purple Mad Max which you guys now have me convinced is just as scarce as the orange one... Else, I spent a lot of 2020 picking up IMAX and Intl variants of many different posters.
Also fell down a comic book rabbit hole with the high point being a Howling Commandos #1 with a Jack Kirby signature on the splash page...
I only managed one barn find this year with all the closures and COVID fear. But you guys wouldn’t know - I never posted them. I’ll try to get on that today... A very nice set of ~40s stills...

I think for 2021 I need to religiously share my pickups. I use to love posting to latest acquisitions but with my time being pulled away with the firm, I just let it slip.
I also want to increase my Hitchcock and Cagney collection. Hopefully a few great pickups out on the horizon.

Thanks for being a member of the best little poster forum on the inter webs. I always feel we are a close bunch - like a second family...
If I can ever help any of you in any way, just let me know. I’m not as grumpy as I seem.
Wishing you all the best in the new year!
How was your 2020?

As for me only one poster but a gem to add the war collection. Apart from moving to my new place, I got lucky to land a new job and get out of the construction industry. I work for a company that provides fibre to the home in new estates. Those fibres go back to a "head end" via series of splitters which I build in the workshop.
Nice to be on active side dealing with Satellite, RF and Comm's equipment rather than just cabling a network.
Here's for a better new year everyone, good riddens to 2020!
Have a nice new year folks!! All the best from way, way south!!! â¤
