Vintage poster collection

**1996** · Dec 09, 2009, 12:25 AM

My buddy has 20,000 plus posters from the 1960's to the 1970'. He wants me to start listing them on ebay, so here are some pictures from the first batch, just in case anyone is interested in this type of thing.

Yeah, they're going out in tubes, but right now they are just lying around. Hard to ship with backing boards. I have thought about the "one" and still am undecided.

Does he have any of the original Felt Led Zeppelin Posters? I can't say for sure I would buy one, but, I would consider it. Feel free to PM me.

20,000 vintage posters from those years is a world class collection. Backing boards and mylar sleeves for that many posters would probably cost more than the posters originally cost. Plus the space they would take up would take over all the storage space in the average home and creep into living space.

If selling on eBay, I would ship them in tubes, but I would ship them in the triangular "priority" ones that are free at the post office. Circular ones get crushed too easily.

Thanks for the advice. I have been trying to figure out how to ship them. There is moderate interest on ebay. My buddy has some circular tubes that are pretty thick, I am going to try those out for a while. He says the triangular ones have collapsed on him in the past. Free is good though.

Enough weight will crush anything, but the triangular ones are more durable. Also, I have found that postal priority boxes get better care from postal workers. At one time I had posters going out several days a week, from eBay sales.
