Going through stuff and realize I have way more posters rolled up in tubes than walls, and probably will be spinning some of them off. Mostly generic stuff, some one-offs of my own shots liked and had blown up.

There's been a few iconic, high value posters over the years like the long Oakley Carmichael whip poster, the old MXA Hannah off the pegs at Unadilla one, Fox's one of MC with RC whipped next to him. I know wall posters are less popular today than in the past, but are there any you consider must have classics?

Being a guy who raced Nor-Cal as a kid I have always enjoyed your Sears Point and Hangtown pics, you have had some real nice pics from Washougal also. The Hannah at Dilla with the no feet is a classic for sure.

Some of the old FOX posters (like the Henry one) are nice.
The Hannah at Unadilla with his feet off the pegs is one of my all time favorites. I would love to find one of them.

Michael,

Let me know if you are trying to sell some. I remodeled my garage last year and have been looking for a while for cool posters. Seems to be a thing of the past which kind of bummed me out.

My email is jeff@foyagency.com

Jeff, I'll file this away for the next couple weeks. I for sure have a bunch of the Oakley Carmichael series (not the B&W RC 70 whip alas) and I'll be spinning those off for sure.

Fox's first Bubba Scrub poster, Chris Tedesco's shot at Budds I think, has got to be up there. Nice big 37 by 20 something classic.

All of the ones you named FTE and especially the Stewie scrub; that is just badass.
I for one like the old Trans AMA era better. I guess due to the bikes of the era and the terrain in the background is less "busy"
I will buy whatever you send me (and the DeCoster one we discussed too!), I need them for my game room. Please keep me posted or postered.

I wanted this one from EBay so badly


Peelout, I have a couple of the Bubba scrub and the long Bubbacross still in sleeves as well.

Kenny, know what you mean about the old stuff. There was a place back in the day that had a lot of turn of the 70's F1 and LeMans stuff, and also GP MX stuff on thick glossy paper from 69-71 or so, and then a US based place (Thought Factory?) that had a bunch of early Trans AMA stuff (Lackey in 73/ Robert, the famous Bryan Wade Greeves cross up from behind, backlit with his "Van Halen" taped Bell Magnum). Someone has been hawking a bit of it on EBay lately. I'll set some stuff aside for you as well.

I do have an NOS of the Fox one with RC whipping MC. I understand MC won't sign that one.

I had all the Honda and yamaha Dealer posters from the 70s and 80s at my shop and they were getting pretty ragged but I did way better than I thought I would when I sold them on ebay. I was going to have them all scanned and make new posters but the quality was not near as good.

You got lucky to buy one because the Honda dealer must have sold his poster because they were not sold retail so you have a cool poster because they are rare, the pic you posted was of the one I had because the rips are the same and are the push pins. What is the interesting story about the poster?

Well you know how Honda is, they made the Dealers buy the posters whether they wanted them or not kind of like Honda special tools , They TOOK the money from your account and sent the stuff to you and there was nothing you could do about it lol

Magoo had a giant print of that framed on the wall in his house.

He had so many incredible pics and his trophy case was incredible.
