I’ve been browsing a lot on ebay trying to find one vintage/authentic poster that I actually want. something colorful and cool looking enough to belong in the Dope Box Art thread. If i find anything nice I’ll share it itt
the fool from magical drop iii piggy bank, courtesy of neo geo freak magazine. 144 USD
That’s from Gamedigga on ebay who has a lot of cool stuff, they used to run the website arcade-gear.com. so they have ephemera but also games and even a couple PCBs
This seller has a lot of nice old posters and they are conveniently marked “roll” or “fold”. They definitely have a lot of games I sort of like but nothing I must buy rn. This is the only poster I was tempted thus far, but I’ve never even played the second gungriffon game, and it’s not very colorful (60 USD)
I liked this ryu poster conceptually (not so much the character design) bc it ties in with ssfiix and you can totally tell it is from 1995 (as the listing claims) with that spaced out serif font. There’s a matching Ken one too. (50 USD each)
This seller from Switzerland has tons of japanese posters specifically from the mid to late 2000s, big SB1 vibes. And they are also the cheapest. Do I want to own a zettai zetsumei toshi 2 poster even if it doesn’t have a lot going on visually? (20 USD + 15 USD shipping)
This is the one I seriously wanted. There are 2 people selling it on ebay based in the US for 450 and 500 respectively, they are tripping balls. I looked on YAJ and somebody sold a set of 2 variations for 200 USD. so I tried making an offer of 120 to be polite. Well their listing is setup to auto reject any offer below a certain amount. I didn’t even make an offer to the other seller because their listing contained a lot of bad energy, warning people that these store posters are Omega Rare and you need to just buy it now before it disappears. I wonder if that guy is the one who bought the 2 on YAJ just to flip them on ebay.
