James, no, no one has told me I look like Gordie Howe, usually they say I look like Steve Martin, but I don't see it!

My vote is Gordie; closest thing I see to Steve is an instrument - and his is banjo.  But to be sure on Gordie, we'd have to see if you still have teeth, Rusty.

I just realized I've never seen Gordie Howe and Steve Martin in the same room at the same time. Spooky!

These should be showing up on doorsteps starting today, so here's preview of the new ad:
 

 
I love the idea of posters, but I think the size of the original images limits me to something in the 12x18 range, so it would be a small poster. But I think that's big enough, any other thoughts on size?

Mica,  I LOVE the ad and the idea of a poster of any size!  I look forward to my VG mag arriving.

I think 12X18  is a good size for various reasons. At that size they could be collectable for multiple displays . Someone with the inclination and desire could hang several in a row and not run out of wall or space. Suitable for framing and mating to display them as the works of Art that they are . Just the right size for publishing as a continuing series. Folks would collect them .

Mica, put me down for at least 2 posters of the February ad with my SCSD in it! I just picked up the Feb. issue tonight & the ad looks great! I bought all 5 copies that Barnes & Nobel had!

I like 12 x 18  You can get a real nice frame for less than the price of a guitar that way.  Definitely better than 8 x 10 kissable photos of Bobby Sherman, ripped out of Tigerbeat magazines!  I doubt I would 'collect' them, but I would probably buy ones of basses I would like to look at in my home/office.  
 
Hey, speaking of frames . . .  Don't youse guyz work at a wood shop????  Hint, hint.  Laminated frames might sell better than the little boxes you sold previously.  I love that idea!

I would love a Coco Bolo frame to hang the poster in!
