Neither plastic or glass is going to stick to a poster without something else involved, like getting the poster wet, etc.

I have no idea why you'd get a poster 1/8" bigger all around - that's a lot. Generally speaking, a poster frame that says it's for something 27x40 or 27x41 IS slightly bigger, but certainly not 1/4".

That's why I asked. I don't know why a 27x40 frame wouldn't properly fit a 27x40 poster. Thanks.
 
Hate to keep referring to my poster for sale, but do any of you know the estimated value of a piece like that? I'm worried that I may have overpriced it, hence the general lack of activity.
 
Couple came in the mail this weekend - The Howling and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, both rolled and in nice shape. Cheap, too!

Now I'm waiting on several new releases that I will hopefully have in the next couple days...
 
Don't know if this has been posted but Drew Struzan has made a poster for Super 8.

J.J. Abrams' coming-of-age sci-fi Super 8 is a loving throwback to the golden age of Amblin, so who better to homage in this wonderful new promo than the man who gave Amblin's films their finest posters? Step forward Drew Struzan, artist behind E.T. and Gremlins. The poster comes courtesy of Cine 1.

But is it a homage or has the man himself secretly lent Abrams his services? Frankly, we're not too sure but we'll put our best people on finding out patrol.

The promo showcases some, but not all, of Super 8's young cast members. Needless to say, there's not a glimmer of the mysterious creature/alien/******* monster thing we've heard rumbling around the fictional town of Lillian, Idaho in the trailers.

I have a quick framing question. I just bought an aaron bros frame and noticed that there is almost a ripple effect with the poster in the frame. If I push the backing of the frame, I can see the poster move because of the space.

Is this normal or should I add more backing so it presses against the glass? I just don't want to damage the poster.

Thanks.
 
Is the Super 8 poster confirmed as Drew Struzan's? It looks Struzan-ish, but there's something off about it.

I'm not the most knowledgable about posters, but I do know with photos that you DO NOT want the photo to come into contact with the glass, in order to prevent a reaction between the two at the interface. (Especially in humid environments.)
 
what price did you put on it?

I had it at $250,then $200, then $150.
It was an exclusive numbered 666 (didn't know if the numbering adjacent to the piece had any added value). Anyway, It's a Drew Struzan NYCC Hellboy 2 poster.

When this happens I usually ad some poster board to help with the backing.
 
I figured I'd throw this up here, since there are a few of you who would probably appreciate this.

I'm selling my Wolverine theater-release lenticular. It's 27'' by 40'' (or 41''.) I haven't measured it, but it's "standard size" as you see hanging in theaters.

Here's a picture of it's effect:

It's for sale here if anyone is interested:

I have a few theater-released vinyl movie banners as well including one from Superman Returns and the Spider-Man movie banner. Warning....they're BIG. :lol

If anyone is interested or wants more details, feel free to PM me or post in my FS thread.

Is that Super 8 poster official? I have heard that, and that it's fan made - just checking. It's not Struzen, that's for sure, but certainly 'struzen inspired'.

I have been kind of quiet on the posters lately, with too much else going on. I did get my Green Lantern and rolled Supergirl from one dealer, and Transformers Dark of the Moon, The Beaver, Final Destination 5 (love the number through the skull), Fright Night, and Shark Night (a movie that is likely to be awful, but a great poster) all from another dealer.
