Cool posters.  Sales on ebay show they have a bit of value.  Apparently CGC does grade concert posters and movie lobby cards so they might grade these.  Best to email them and ask.

These will be for sale. If anyone’s interested feel free to message me. Going to be posting these on eBay over the next month or so

Those mk bring back memories, whether through magazines or in store. I remember thinking they were somewhere I could get them, but then coming to my senses whether it was a good idea for dates, parents and the like 😂

Came across these buried in the back of a short box.  No recollection of where they came from. They’re comic size, and hand numbered

Anybody have info on this size? 27 X 40. Only one's on eBay are smaller. Thanks!

 

 

 

Your poster was made for video rental stores which is why it says "On Videocassette". It features the same image as used on the original VHS home video, and was probably issued around September 1990 in slight advance of the video being available for rental/purchase in October.

Here's the one that would've been on display at the movies when it premiered in cinemas in March 1990. It's also 27x40.

There's also a "teaser" version of this poster, also 27x40, with the "Lean, Green..." tag at the top and the "Hey, dude, this is no cartoon" line at the bottom in place of the credits.

Wow, that was some find, and thanks for sharing! These posters were mostly promotional items sent to comic stores with some also issued at various conventions, and are the definition of ephemera, meant to be displayed for a short time, and then tossed out.

While I don't actively collect them, I have a chunk of those you've shown from having attended SDCC for a long stretch starting in 1996 and also getting my own trove of them about 10 years from a shuttering comic store that had been in business since the late 80's. The toughest are definitely the ones from the 1980's where Marvel/DC is concerned and those from smaller publishers in general. Of course, popular characters like many you've shown don't need to be as scarce as some of the others to hold good value. I'll go through some of mine to see if I can come up with a couple of posts worth of notable ones from the same era that you didn't show, to add to the display.

While the people who buy these posters to collect and/or display generally prefer unfolded examples, a lot of these were never issued that way. And boy, folded posters sure are a lot easier (and cheaper) to mail than rolled posters.

Great show, thanks again!

Yes! I have maybe 10 or so out of hundreds or 1000s that are actual posters with no promotion tied in.

Starman posters are surprisingly valuable

100% agree! You’re welcome. It was definitely a time consuming process but fun to share a part of comic publication history through the decades

Here's some more TMNT. These are from Western Graphics (late 80's/early 90s) and Image Comics (early to mid 90's). 

Artists beyond Eastman/Laird include Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, and Rick Veitch (one of his covers from his 3 issue run that is probably still the best TMNT comic story to date).
