This is cool
I'd forgotten about these - I have one of the posters where the guy is in the chair, but this brings back memories:

Cool at $100. At that price? Not cool. Crazy maybe, but not cool.

I've got two of those - one in ok shape framed and one perfect shape. Could they be worth that much?

I'm not here.

Hey, I thought there weren't any pictures of it on the internet? Maybe put a tag on it.

Nows the time to find out. Better get a chrome frame, though. Genuine chrome, as opposed to ersatz chrome.

It's a cool poster. Here's the view overlooking my file cabinets in my office.
 To the right is a very nice 1930s watercolor of Santa Monica that I bought from Tabs. I bought the poster from a woman in the classified section. Her husband was cleaning their grage and they were throwing it out. I paid $50 or so for it without a frame and then framed it. It's a little scratched, but that kind of adds to the character. When I bought it I did a little research. Most of what the Ebay guy wrote is BS. They're not exactly rare; they were given away as promos and sold for a while in poster shops. So there isn't any real "authenticity" to them. It's not like this an artist's proof that is one in a million. It's just one of the millions of the poster that was distributed 25 years ago. What makes it hard to get is that it isn't in production and hasn't been since the original original ad campaign was new. Apparently Steve Steigman was able to keep the right to license this photo, and his estate hasn't licensed new printings of it since then. So when you buy one of these posters, it's one of the posters that was given away for free or cost $9.99 in the mid 80s. There were millions of them then, but now you have to find one that's been laying around under someone's baseball card collection in their attic. Or pay some guy 5 grand on Ebay. I'll sell mine for four grand.
