I will give you $10 for the Team USA poster. Cash.
I had three of them and the one in the pic is the worst one and I sold it on Ebay for $110. It is amazing how much I get for some of the old stuff I never threw out and I have the mint condition stuff still packed away. Cool thing about being a Honda dealer was all the cool championship posters form the 80s even though the dealership is long gone I still have some neat stuff from the best years of SX/MX.
Speaking of posters....I had one when I was a kid. I'm thinking I got it in 81' or 82', it was of a guy jumping and the bike had no gas tank or seat. Or maybe the motor was missing? Does anyone remember this poster?

It might be Danny Magoo Chandler on a Maico 490 without seat and tank and It must be the coolest wallpaper a kid could have on it's bedroom wall.
That Gaylon poster (2nd) is vintage. I recall Honda had that and another (Gaylon also, maybe Rex?) they made available for the taking right at Christmas time, 1975 I guess it was. I think I still have them both, rolled up in a shipping tube.
I have had the Mikkola poster since 1980. Found int in a book store and it started out in my bedroom and has been hanging proudly in every garage I have had since. Also, the '79 Yamaha add folds out into a sweet poster of Hannah riding in the desert. One still hangs in my parents kitchen if you can believe it and I have one in the garage. Neat stuff.
Ha! No but at least I should get a photo of him with it once I'm done. And I do have the old Newsday with him flying his on the cover at the Long Beach race as inspiration.

Nice! I've got a couple of Tonka earthmovers I held on to for my own son. I also have a couple vintage projects, an Xs 650 and a 78 Kx250. I've got my shopping list complete on one and the other is up in the air on which direction I'm going to take it. Labor of love but oh so much money! Yet I picked both bikes up for a song and a dance.
Remember when Mazda had a promo when Mc was sponsored by them? I think it was in 98 or 99. They had a 30 day test drive promo at Mazda. If you test drove a Mazda you got to pick either a no fear mcgrath Yamaha jersey or this lithograph signed by Jeremy and the artist. I took the litho. A few months later it arrived. I have never seen another one like it out there although I sure there are some. I spoke to the artist a couple years ago and he could barely remember that he did the work. He said that there were 500 made and jeremy met him at, I think was the Orange County airport to sign them all. He said most were never used for the promo and is not sure what ever happened to the rest.
Anything from my youth/teenage years is cool to me and most of us I'm sure Tumblin. And Sieges stuff is always vintage and cool.
Never saw that poster Redrcr, that's neat.
Here are the Mazda give away McGrath poster and Jersey. Sad part is that most of them went home with people who worked at Mazda dealers. You can get the Jerseys on Ebay for about $100 but they were not signed and the lithographs are all signed but you don't see them as often but when they are listed they sell for good $$ I got my jersey signed when MC was in town visiting his in laws.
I like the Commotion by the Ocean poster in your original post. That race was so much fun to watch.
Back when xtreme was first starting out they would bring by those silk screen samples to show what the shirts would look like and when he was done with them he was going to throw them away, I told him I will take them so I have a stack of silk screen samples but the commotion by the ocean is by far the coolest one.
That stuff does fetch a pretty penny for sure.
