A true investment: the New Ghostbusters II NES game. Released only in Japan and not a repo. Won this baby on eBay a day ago for a mere $104 from Australia. Look at that box! Everything is present and in great shape! Will look real nice next to the Activision version.
Only released in Japan? No Japanese NES cartridge I know looks like that… It was also releases in PAL regions, so that makes me believe you have the PAL version… Japanese Famicom games were released on shorter cartridges, not the square gray ones that we’re accustomed to in the US…
This is thee coolest GB2 object I have ever seen. It will be a perfect show piece when it’s hung above the glass case that will enclose all my GB2 memorabilia. Paid $100 big ones! Unused, NOS, Hardees vinyl banner, 44x72 in.
Same here. I have seen two of the horizontals in the last year but this was the first of its kind I had ever seen. Wasn’t gonna let it slip away. It was a Reserve auction, the price was $100 and thankfully there wasn’t much competition. The seller said he also had a NOS horizontal sign he would be listing shortly after so keep your eyes open. I won’t be going after it, this one is all I need.
The last item bought for my GB2 collection, the theatrical one-sheet. These are always 27x40 inches but for some reason, certain movies like this one had theirs made in 27x41 inches. Why an extra inch in length? This means I’ll have to get a custom frame made.
I’ve always loved this poster design. The guys looking bad ass in their new uniforms, new equipment, the light beaming out of the logo and that green aura/halo surrounding the title. Love it!
Cool score! I’m a big fan of old theatrical one sheets.
27x41 used to be the standard size for theatrical one sheets until around 1985. After '85, shorter posters started popping up more and more until they eventually became the industry standard. It makes framing a pain in the ass. I recommend hollywoodposterframes.com. Their economy frame is around $50… WONDERFUL quality!
There are two versions of the GB2 Style C poster, which is the what you have. The version without a release date at the bottom are 27x40. The version WITH a release date came in both 27x40 and 27x41.
Here’s a poster I couldn’t pass up. Interesting how the red on the logo is a bit darker than usual and how they used an “O” in the title. I was really happy no one wrote a price in the white bubble. Another custom frame job.
