I would leave it. Removing it could damage it and ruin and devalue a really cool poster.

Those are absolutely fantastic. They're so well done that they had me for a second - for a moment I thought there really was a 50's or 60's Hammer horror film called "Ghostbusters" that I had never heard of before. Great concept.

Do you know who the artist is? Does he/she have a website?

Were the Batman Returns posters single sided?

I ordered it from that one guy on ebay since his service was good last time, so broke we don't even have money for food(had to borrow some money from a family member) but I couldn't pass this up, Burton's Batman means so much to me.

I would leave the sticker on it, since it's part of the poster and you would possibly damage the poster if you removed it. You should just inquire with the theater manager if he can remember if the poster came with the sticker on it or if they were sent stickers and told to affix them to the poster.

I believe they came both double and single sided, double-sided being more collectible obviously.

I received my Underworld Awakening poster today, I'll open it tomorrow and give it a good inspection. I'll let you guys know.

They were sent out with the sticker on it.

I really don't mind either way... but if I could ever find a DS for a reasonable price, I'll jump on it.

My Underworld Awakening poster looks to be the real thing. It's slightly lighter on the reverse side. It came in awesome shape too. I'm really pleased for roughly $20 shipped. Now I'll have my two favorite vampires on my wall, Abby from Let Me In and Selene.

Cool glad you finally got one!

Based on the edition numbers, it looks like there will be 295 actual sets available, perhaps all will have matching numbers, because the Go Ape print that is exclusive to a "set" only has 295 that were made so you have to take the lowest number when factoring in the amount of sets that will be available.

Of course for those who are big Planet of the Apes fans (I for one am not), its actually a really good deal since you are getting six prints for that price, which comes out to about $40 a print.

Not only would have to be a big fan of Planet of the Apes, you'd need a lot of wall space! The Ansin one is my favorite of the bunch.

I've decided to try a new framer rather than take my business back to Michael's. Dropped off my Jurassic Park yesterday for a quote, I'll report back on pricing and quality.

Agreed. The Ansin really stands out from the others. Looking forward to see how you frame your Jurassic Park.

Just make sure the framer knows not to dry mount the print, some assume the customer wants it, so communicate if key, make sure they frame it loose between the backing and the glass so you could remove it if you needed to and roll it back up. Dry mounting makes the print or poster worthless.

Yes Kinsella, I know You've told me many times I made it abundantly clear with him my requirements. Acid free, museum mounting, pocket corners, no taping, I don't care if the tape is acid free, lots of foam board to keep the waves down. I'm staring to understand this framing thing a little better.

lately been going crazy with lots of screen prints. I love them. Could get a bit pricey but i believe worth every penny. Anyways i recently picked up a odd size print. I was wondering if anyone knows where i could find a frame or custom frame size 19.5 x 37.5. Ive looked around. But i really couldn't find anything online. Any help would be much appreciated.

Finally framed my hellraiser print
