We have been here before. The problem with these projects is that no matter if you print 10000 or 20 the set up cost is the same. A small batch is expensive because you have to get the setup and print costs back. We did the calendar and the Tarnation poster. A large group wanted them, but when it came time to send in the money, we sat with them.
I'm not sure we even got our printing costs back.

The Bert Sharkey poster was done years before Ed Muderlak did his reprint. They come up for sale occasionally. The originals are selling for outrageous prices. The last one that sold at Ward's sold for an amount I can't remember, but it was a lot.

With today's printing/copying capabilities, Ill bet the poster could be done at WalMart. In fact..That b/w picture of me that I posted was about 4x5. I took it to WalMart..they copied it to 16x22 for less that $20..and it looks nearly perfect..

How about the Wood Duck poster, which is many times rarer than the Sharkey poster?

There was a lot of nice art back in the day and I think it would sell IF someone could obtain the copyrights. The art work on some of the old calendars and shell boxes was magnificent.

Thumbs up

In 3 days or so, the vote is running 25 to 1. Since I started this, if there is a poster available for sale..I'll buy it and shop around for a firm price. My original poster has been trimmed..so I can't use it.

Jerry, as Bill suggested the Wood Duck poster might also be a very interesting reprint. It's never been done before and begs to be printed........
