Mine have no discoloration, but I've lived under ideal storage conditions for all my life. 

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.

Being old and having the discipline not to sell them over the years. Kudos to that!

You got those at Import Plaza?  That's incredible - what a score!.  The one close to my house has since become a BottleDrop.

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:

Which ones do you have.  Surely not all 24 do you have 3-4 total ?  They are framed?... with matting??... and /or a certain plastic ?or glass?..  that allows blacklight (and glowing unhindered)effects  and such?

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.

You opened one.  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?

One of my LCS's has several of these up on the walls - not for sale, unhappily, but they look really cool.  Would love to have them.  Nice score!

What's who is an LCS ?

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.

After you've made 50 posts, you can put a post in the "Want to Buy" forum asking if anyone has one for sale.

Same time posting lol 

one of these poster threads made me really dig deep to take pics, I had more than I thought :whatthe: 

Really how many tgey are flat or rolled.. originals wow.  Are we allowed to ask if people want to trade for other characters or if they ever sell.  I think that's allowed on some places to talk like tgat but unsure if I'm in that place or how I know when I am or not
