Not old guys on Vital, but actual old posters.

I went to the Mecum motorcycle auction in January. Over in a corner was a guy from France that had a booth with hundreds of posters for sale. The majority were street bikes, cars and movies, but all of them were old. He said that his father had collected them over his lifetime. His father had passed away so the son was liquidating the collection. I spotted a speedway poster from the 60's and asked if he had in motocross. He told me to come back in an hour. During that time he pulled together a great collection. I just got them framed and hung in my office yesterday. Sorry about the glare.

Awesome, and very nice score. I'm really digging the second one from the top.

If anyone has a lead on an old Namur GP event poster of any kind, please let me know!

Great collection you've amassed there!

Dig it so much I started buying old prints last night to line walls in my shop above my cabinets. Thanks for the idea!
