My new Prince has arrived...

and he's swept me off my feet! And he's large and in charge! 23x35 to be exact. I must admit I'm quite taken by this Prince. As you can tell, I'm a bit excited, as most of us are when our new purchase arrives.

My new Prince is a very large signed poster from his first album in 1978, "Prince For You". The autograph and inscription read: "To Wanda Love You, Prince". And Prince added his symbol as well. Does the symbol constitute another autograph?

It's really quite stunning when you see it in person due to its rather large size with a huge picture of Prince. The autograph and inscription are large as well.

I'm somewhat shy to admit that it came from PressPass since there's been some negative discussion on here about them. And I myself have written about their seemingly cozy relationship with PSA/DNA. It does come with a PSA LOA. But like most of us, I don't just buy something because of the sticker. I thought it looked good too. And what's even better, Roger Epperson has looked at it, and he said, "It looks fine to me."

From what I've heard, these posters were only distributed in 1978 in the Minneapolis area. I don't know, however, if that's true.

Anyway, there are some pics below.

Thanks, Patrick! So how are you storing or displaying your poster?

Right now, it's simply rolled in a tube. I should probably frame it.

Well I finally got my Prince signed poster back from the frame shop, and I think they did a very good job. The frame is actually an anodized purple aluminum frame, although it's a dark purple, so from afar, it pretty much looks black, but you can tell up close. The poster is surrounded by a 1/8 inch black vinyl mat, backed by an acid-free foam board, all behind 99% UV conservation glass.

For some reason, all my pics apparently are over 7MB, and therefore I can't post here, so I'll put some pics up in My Photos.

Reduce the size of your pics to about 2000 pixels wide or high and save as a JPG, 2-3 notches from the top quality. That way people using cell phones will be able to download them easily.
