That's cool! Nice find Justin.

I'll get it linen backed, the missing bits repaired then hung in the stairwell

Next to my Direct Connection original poster

Fantastic mate!!! Great find....US ebay or over here?? Got a load of original Eastwood US one sheets and UK quads in the loft....and a nice Steve McQueen (Tom Horn) one. Mrs B wont let me hang them though. Far too many but just one or two would look nice....

Sounds like your wallet is in for a kicking Justin!!

It was not too bad, much cheaper than UK ones

There are just more around over there so prices are better, shipping isn't too much either

I've got quite a few original movie posters, including a VP USA 1 sheet that's been restored and linen backed, I've also got some huge USA ones that come in 3 or pieces that are the size of a garage door, great for walls in dens, offices, garages, etc

Restored one

Big job

Even bigger job

UK poster, 30 x 40 inches

Big and small Italian ones

French one, 5ft tall, 4 ft wide

Swedish one

Lobby card set which I sold a few years ago

And a Belgian one which I also sold

I will sell any of the above if anyone's interested, except maybe the UK one as they are expensive and hard to find. I've got most other road movies as well

Love the VP posters. I saw the UK one at Knebworth but the exhibitor was not selling. I took a photo and have that blown up on the garage wall, not quite the real deal but nice.

Who did your linen backing and how much was it?

Motorama · Post by **Motorama** » Mon Sep 09, 13 8:06 pm

I bought it already done from the USA

I did speak to this guy a few years ago about doing an American Graffiti poster for me but never got around to it

I've got about a dozen framed in my hallway and stairs, if I'd known you were into them I would have shown you them when you were here, I have a couple of different American Graffiti ones, Star Wars, Quadrophnia, Two Lane Blacktop, Scarface, Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Blues Brothers, Full Metal Jacket, Gone in 60 Seconds 1974 and Christine

I've only just started out with them really

Just wanted to get a few under my belt ready for my future man cave

I've read up on loads of stuff about it....found a good site in the US so I'm up and running !

It can get addictive, I started off buying a few for the house, ended up with hundreds, set up a website and dealt in them for a while to whittle the collection back down, still have quite a few
