I only went to one sale, spent $50

$2.50 - this thing (keeping it)


$2.50 - Mace Windu


$5 - framed Raiders poster (original?)


$2.50 - Pappy Van Winkle poster (original?)


$35 - Scubapro buoyancy vest


$2.50 - Empire Strikes Out poster (original?). It’s on heavy card stock, not poster paper. It’s style B. Finding an original SW poster has always been one of my unicorns.



The scuba vest will at least double my money.

Was going to say scuba gear is not cheap, at all.

That’s not a pappy van winkle poster. Pappy van winkle is alcohol

My grandmother had one of these. It was used to make apple sauce. You peel and core the apples and then boil them like a potato. Put the cooked apples in that thing and mash them up.

Where do you find out about garage sales? Or do you just ride around and look for signs? You have me wanting to check some out on free days.

That first thing pictured, I have one exactly like it. I can remember my Greek grandmother straining homemade yougert in that and juicing berries.

How do you authenticate something like that?

I’m guessing you are talking about the poster. All I can really do is find it on eBay (which I believe I did) and leave it up to the buyer. Those Star Wars geeks will know. I believe it’s real because of the size, type of paper it’s on, and the stuff in the margins.

Your poster looks like a repro. It's glossy compared to most OG star wars posters I've seen in person.
