I bought mine at the Import Market (might not have the name right), which was downtown Portland 50 years ago. Oh MAN - you bought those when they came out? That is freakin' awesome.

I guess being old is cool. I do view it as winning. And I just remembered the right name of the store - Import Plaza.

Popular Post lhcomics Posted December 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2022 After reading about potential problems in this thread I decided to open one. It does have some discoloration on the back that was mentioned but the front has very bright colors with no separation or cracking. Just stunning actually.

Hiro Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Love these posters! Don't have any, but am on the hunt to find at a decent price. Like everyone, wish I had grabbed them all back in the day. Surfer is my favorite. The more affordable option is the Third Eye greeting cards. Smaller versions of the posters and believe they were sold at the same time as the posters. Not Third Eye, but I do have this Spidey poster that I got in 1975. Mine is stored away, so pulled this image from the web, but the one I have is in similar condition. It's black light with velvet. Great poster and a classic Spidey pose! . I see reissues of the Marvel Third Eye posters on Ebay. They're 20" x 30" but not sure if they're official reissues and if they're actually black light like the originals. Anyone have one? Also, there are two collected volumes that came out in 2021 and 2022. Here's the Amazon link for reference:https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Classic-Collectible-Poster-Portfolio/dp/1419756222/ref=asc_df_1419756222/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475718263887&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10504319875829740657&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012102&hvtargid=pla-1187530524855&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are framed?... with matting??... and /or a certain plastic ?or glass?.. that allows blacklight (and glowing unhindered)effects and such?

You have them still rolled wow. Do you have many of tge 23 others? How many. None were opened though or did you open a few and that was years ago and they are framed thus you just were concerned about tge rolled ones so thought to see. Is it rare to have them still rolled? You rolled for storage purposes or acquired them rolled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Iron Man "I did it" and the Doctor Strange "Eternity" posters. They hung bare in my bedroom for about 20 years with thumb tacks, then have been loosely rolled ever since. I am thinking of getting them framed soon, so that I can hang them up in my newly rearranged comic room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
