Title: abc posters
Post by: auctionaddiction on January 22, 2013, 07:11:28 PM

Hi everyone, I know you deal more with antiques but I thought I would ask about these posters I picked up at a paper auction. my wife and myself have not been able to find them on the internet and I would like to know if they could be rare. I know they are late 70s advertising posters for abc. 2 of them have a signature, the blue one does not. any info would be appreciated. I usually dont collect paper items but thought they were neat. The poster is not faded, that is just the glare. thanks AA

How iconic!. I think the are great but I am not qualified to put a value on them. Charlies Angels and early Monday Night Football, the longest running prime time show. The legendary Howard Cosell and Kotter and all the sweat hogs including Travolta. I think all four Angels are there. Awesome. The condition looks really good too. I almost forgot Richie and the Fonz. I searched and can find nothing on them. They have to be very rare.

I think the signatures are facsimiles under the main artwork of the artist, Charles McVicker


Cool posters. Ebay material

They should appeal to a broad selection of people !! Spent the last half hour trying to remember all the names !!  Anyone remember the guy on with Don Meredith and Cosell !! I can`t remember his name and I  should know it !! Guess I could look it up,,,!!
