So it's that time of year again, always a fun thread ... I'll post the links to previous posts but know that some of those old threads show page after page of dead photobucket links.

Post 'em up folks!

As for me, I'll do 2018 in three pics ...

Pic 1) I'm not a completist but I do love what this poster is and is about so i'm trying to hunt down all the version of this one. I'm getting close to finishing off the TRPS set with a few picks ups this year ... that black one is proving elusive.

Pic 2) EMEK Pearl Jam Rome ... has to be one of my fave prints from PJ in years.
Also Stanley had a bunch of b&w prints he airbrushed at TRPS ... looked super sharp. So much so that the guy 2nd or 3rd in line bought THEM ALL. I was able to nab this on off his site.

Pic 3) Top pick up of the year. He's a rescue, one year old terrier corgi mix.

Best year ever.

I've probably done more wheeling and dealing this year than I am used to, but these are some of my favorite print and OG acquisitions from this year.

Thank you for linking the old threads. Was nice to go back and look at top pickups.

Yeah, that was a fun trip down memory lane. It's interesting to watch tastes/interests change over time.

99% of my meager (in number) gets this year came from talkingdeads, just as Lao Tzu had predicted. Crosshair I did all bah mah sef.

Lastly, the thread title doesn't specify "print" acquisitions so... Picked up one of these as well:

[DonPiano]

Two sonny day OG's (one not shown), a Ken Taylor OG, a Mori Chack print, Adopt by Shepard Fairey.

Nice mix of posters Fredo! I like the Child Bite. It has a Kleinsmithy/Burnsy/Duggany look to it.

Congrats Pewter on all those TRPS. Good luck with the black one for next year.

And DonPiano that Taylor looks sharp!

And DonPiano that Taylor looks sharp!

Thanks. It's killer in person. I wish I'd gotten the big OG as well, but limited finances and all that noise.

No way that I can keep it to five this year. Will be hard to top next year.

I gotta admit, I had a big year... lot's of new and awesome prints, along with some ISOs crossed off the list.

Man, I love that Crosshair Fredo.

Congrats again to Billy!

And I mostly hate Bulkhead.
