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?

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 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
