Although i did not know it until now, I desperately need one of these. This is an excellent collection of collections.

Yeah, the Evil Dead one made me smile, 1f2frfbf, but for sheer inanity, I think I'd rather have the House Party poster hanging in my house.

In Bamako, some friends bought a coiffure sign for what I thought was ridiculous low price. Hand painted, beautiful, and sentimental. I think the final price was around $4. Which I wondered what type of new door of third world art buying, western world reselling, this could open up. Is this already happening? photos: 1 2 3

I want to hug all of the Ghana posters and take them home. Someday in the future, all of the crap I hoard out of anxiety or laziness will have turned into an ephemera collection, and then I can trade up for the ephemera that really interests me.
