Do you still have your Prince posters?

I have both the picture sleeves from "1999" and use them as posters, and the 1999 calender. My sister has a bunch of Prince posters from 1983-1988 & a Prince cut-out. So I was wondering how many others kept their collectables throughout the years...

I have the one for "Come" on my wall in my living room.

I'm planning to have Lovesexy and the one from the SOTT film up too.

I think that many of the collectors on here have some great posters.

I have some nice ones going back to 1999 lp.

I have several of the unofficial calenders that I have seperated and made into posters with them.

I have a couple of oversided subway posters from 92-93 that are hard to put up but look neat.

I was able to buy many from the 1-800-newfunk website when it went out of business in 1998 for about $5 each.

One of the best is the Controversy poster with P infront of the music notes and the official 1999 poster with just his upper body in the smoke.

I have lots and lots! Now that I'm grown and have real art on my walls, I've moved them down to the basement and they cover almost every wall! Some of them are HUGE! I refuse to get rid of them! smile

Still have mine. I don't display them anymore though. My favorites are the 4 Lovesexy ones I bought at the concert...Prince, Sheila E, Cat, and Prince and the entire band, and the 2 I got at the Purple Rain concert...Prince and the Revolution and Sheila E. I also had a poster made of a picture I took of Prince in the parking lot at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.

Hell no, I stopped putting posters up when I was about 16, like 25 years ago!

I just started collecting Prince posters last year and they're still stored in a mailing tube until I find some preservable way to store them. Would it be smart to get them laminated?

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

Hey there! smile I think of the poster you were looking for everytime I go on ebay or check the marketplace here. Have you found it yet?

I have some sentimental and a few collectible posters that I keep carefully stored.

I dont have any posters now.

This is me, probably before he cancelled the SOTT UK tour.

Besides the very small area I allowed my younger brother for his MJ posters, the three other walls were also covered.

Cool as F**K, yeah.

At least 3 dozen, not including the ones I lost, including an oversized but damaged SOTT promo poster.

I don't have any, but even if I did I woulnd't put them on the wall unless I had a wet bar or something. I would use them in a play room or something, but not like just normally in my bedroom a huge picture of Prince. lol. Seems silly.

This is why i disposed of my poster collection, i had none of them on the walls, they were all rolled up and kept in card tubes, and because i had no intention of hanging them, it seemed pointless keeping hold of them and even collecting them in the first place. lol
