Post by coolray85 »

yo!
since I missed out on reading usagi on a monthly basis at the time I don
't know if such excists but maybe one or the other of you guys can tell me...
has there ever been a poster of the uy #100 wraparound cover for sale?I love the image yet don't have the issue myself and my dealer doesn't have her in his backup bin....
I just enjoy the colors so much that I thought it would make a beautiful addition on my wall somewhere....;)

Yes... there have been a few on eBay in the past (it's how I got my copy for example) but I haven't seen any sold in a while. I believe they were sent out to distributors and sellers who ordered a certain amount of issue #100.

It was a very limited signed and numbered run (300 copies?). I'd check, but it's written on the back of the poster, and mine is framed.

And, as impressive as it is, the anniversary poster with the entire cast standing behind a waving Usagi impresses me even more. I'm supposed to get mine when my comic dealer finally takes it out of his window, but I'm beginning to doubt that will ever happen.

There were a bunch of UY 100 posters that went to comic book stores. These were signed with a sketch.

There were also some unsigned ones.

DH also sent me a bunch that I gave away to Dojo members and others who wanted them at conventions.

Are you referring to the UY 100 poster or the 25th anniversary poster with the whole cast?

aaaaaahhhhh, thank you go for posting this!
joergwesti is giving me his issue #100 now, but it still would be great to get the poster here.unfortunatelly the seller would not ship it to europe.
if the poster will go for that cheap is there anybody on the forum in the states who would be willing to ship that baby to me?
if not, that's okay, too.

Shipping would be pretty expensive for it since it comes shrink-wrapped flat on a large piece of cardboard, if I remember correctly.

I sent a few to Europe, and I sent it rolled in a mailing tube. There is no way that poster mailed flat on a large sheet of cardboard would make it undamaged.

what amount of money would one have to pay in order to send something in this a tube of joy?;)was it expensive?
of course the seller on ebay really had framed it to a large white piece of cardboard....
it is really not that bad if I won't get the poster this time, I feel there have already been a lot of wonderful things usagi related comming to me over the past few weeks that I could never be sad about one little poster;)
thanks for checking out and posting all your help, friends!
