That looks... weird. Not bad though. Like the character portraits.
At least I know what to look for when I'm hunting one down ^_^
Thanks for the pic!

That is hotness defined right there. Bet it's gonna cost the end bidder a mint though.

That's the exact same poster as mine, even down to the folds. I picked up a very nice Warzard poster at the same time as this one. I may be tempted to sell the Batrider poster now....we shall have to see

7,750 yen just for that poster/artwork? You have to be kidding me. I bought the actual game for $75 this week! I'll never understand people who collect posters I guess.

I'll never understand why the people who own the posters don't simply make high quality color copies for the rest of us.

Because "simply" doesn't exist, unless you have access to huge scanners, unlike most of us, here. If you disagree w/ me, do something for us:
Take a poster, any poster that is at least 3x the width/hight of your scanner and make us a quality copy. Oh, whats that? You can't get it all straight? Why not? There has to be SOME way!?

If you come up w/ a successful method, maybe we'll see some full size poster scans floating around.

I think I got a good price actually. Most Cave posters fetch 8,000-15,000 and I got some original art for my cab to boot.
I only have room for a couple of shmup posters at the minute but I'm collecting for the day I win the lottery and move to a place with a big arcade room with wall space

somone with some patience, a decent scanner and photoshop could easily scan it in sections and then reassemble it.. I've done it countless times..

I've done many things that were larger than my scanner, but when you get into things that are 3x, the problematic part is the "center row," which has no reference. Top/Bottom/Outside all have edges to follow. How do you align the center? Guess?
