Celebrity Posters(...and others too!)Celebrity posters may include many categories; sports posters, movie posters, vintage posters, teen posters, old posters.
For now, we are lumping all of these together on one page! Let's start off with a celebrity poster. Who better than Elvis Presley? Got one of those at home? A lot of people do! This one is pretty basic...in black and white! But no doubt, there are probably 100's of different Elvis posters in print.
Sadly, we do not have very many in our collection (we have plenty of other stuff!) They are normally quite colorful and very pleasing to the eye. Many people will wrap a nice frame around their movie poster. Thus, they can proudly display it as they would any other piece of fine art. A nicely framed movie poster can add quite a unique look to your home. It will normally attract more attention and conversation than any other piece on your wall!
Twilight fan? It doesn't really matter where they came from...kids absolutely love hanging posters on their walls!
This poster of Lou Brock, from the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball team, was very popular during the 1970's. How do we know that? Because it is part of our personal collection. It is approximately 40 years old and held up surprisingly well, considering how many times it was moved about the room.
And who doesn't recognize the great Basketball player, Michael Jordon? This poster (below) is from early on in his fabulous career, Can you tell by how young he looks?
Our point is simply this...We feel that those old celebrity posters are worth pulling out of the box, once in a while. Why not display them proudly? Buy a decent poster frame and rotate them. If you're a sports fan, rotate them by season. Or perhaps, you could display several of them in a recreation room, office, or movie room! Then, when you take them down again, preserve them properly, so that you may...one day...years later...do it again!

...More (non-celebrity) Poster Examples...How about some more examples to view? C'mon! Just a few...these are a little different! We promise!
How many out there had one of these? Yep! There was a time period back then when black light posters were very hot sellers! This particular poster, of the clipper ship, illuminated nicely under the effects of the black light! It was allowed to hang on the bedroom wall, unlike many others, that may not have been suitable for a young kid. (After all, It was the 70's!)
CKLW was "THE STATION" in the Detroit, MI area in the 1970's! Everyone tuned in! Like many radio stations, around New Year's Eve/Day they would play back their Top 500 songs of the year, (from #500 to #1). If you wanted a list of the songs, you could write to the station and they would send you this poster! Pretty cool, eh? Bet that has you wondering what that #1 song of 1975 (in the Detroit, MI area) was, doesn't it? Or how about the #500 song? Well, okay! The #1 song in 1975, according to CKLW, was... "KUNG FU FIGHTING" by Carl Douglas and # 500 was... "STUCK IN THE MIDDLE" by Stealers Wheel, (one our favorites by the way!) And finally, here's one more celebrity poster, kind of...
We know, it's kind of corny, but true enough, it was a popular poster in it's time! (GULP! Yes, it is ours!)
Random Notes...Posters, of any kind are always fun for kids...and a lot of adults too! We had fun pulling out all of our old posters, some of which, were long forgotten! We also had fun putting together the teen posters page. Our age showed somewhat, as we had to ask our daughter to verify names and faces. Our Advice? Take a moment or two and go find yours! C'mon! Almost everyone has at least one poster tucked away somewhere...the one that you just couldn't throw out. Finds yours; pull it out, and enjoy! If you saved it, then there are probably some fond memories related to it! Better yet, have some fun with it by placing it in a nice frame and displaying it all over again!
