Wanted: Posters!

[Cebus Capucinis]

The GARAGECADE needs some video game posters! Anything and everything will do! Mostly looking for Atari or arcade posters from the era, etc. etc. but let me know what you've got!

'70s and '80s record album covers look great too, and are super cheap. I picked up a whole bunch recently, and had to resist the urge to buy a ton more that someone recently dropped off at our local Goodwill... it looked like someone had an awesome '80s pop/disco collection

Oooooooh, that's a fabulous idea, just make an LP cover wallpaper for one wall.....good idea! I still want posters if I can get them though

Atari 2600 posters can go up to $200.

Atari 2600 posters can go up to $200.

Same with vintage (official) arcade posters, they are few and far between. I am still kicking myself for passing on a lot of them locally, had no idea they were valuable.

WHAT? My pockets are not that deep! Damnation! Oh well I will still entertain offers!

Well, one other thing you can do if you haven't thought of it is to use those small posters that came in the later 2600 games. They're a dime a dozen.

I picked up one of these a while back. It's folded, but very cool.

What I did is download arcade flyers, printed and framed them. I bought a bunch of frames from Salvation for 50 cents a pop and spray painted them with fluorescent paint. They look cool under black lights.

 

Check out http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?db=arcadedb&page=archive where they have flyers in PDF format if that is a consideration.

Thanks for all the fabulous ideas guys! Will definitely be looking into it! In the meantime I'm still a definite buyer if you have any!!
