I meant what I said about not posting to MOPO for the time being... but people

Most overpriced?... Hmmm. I've been pretty lucky (or smart) and
haven't really taken a bath on any of the posters I've purchased (well, not yet
anyways, knock on wood). I guess staying far away from the major auction

In the late 80's at a poster show in
Chicago I found a beautiful copy of a cinerama roadshow Mad,Mad World 1sh
for $25. In the mid-90's I found some 40x60's on all of the original Star
Wars films in a closet of a theater that was being sold. A group of us
picked it over- with permission.
I think all the truly best finds have been
well documented and salt rubbed into every collectors open wound.
