Well, I've already spammed NSFGE and All Posters, so now it's MOPO's turn.  After a long overdue accounting of the poster pile, the motivation (finally) appeared to do stop being an accumulator and start having an actual collection.  To that end, I've placed the "keepers" ( + or - a few that are

I got mine about a million years ago from a feller who ran a place called something like "Connecticut Poster Warehouse," which was, I think literally, a warehouse.  He had loads of them and, IIRC, he got most of his stuff from distributors and perhaps even an NSS warehouse.   Perhaps some of the

Many dealers - and I'm certain Walter is one of them - have customers that can't simply be @ssed to spend their days perusing auctions the way many of us ob/coms do.  I suspect those customers also have the bank account to not begrudge a markup for the convenience, which at just over 100% seems

I think the key word there is "incidental."  I expect they mean if you toss in some advertising paper, press release, etc. with your DVD or videotape, it's OK.  I don't think they'd be too happy if there was nothing else in the package besides the paper, and this might provoke an incident.   --P

I strongly disagree.  Real thing should be 28x42", just like the original "Marihuana, WWRiH".  If it's 27x41" stay away from it.    Many exploitation posters of the era had the blank space at the top and do look like window cards in craptastic photos.  In fact it's an excellent way to tell an o
