It has been mentioned that all "Missing Link" posters came serial numbered because they were AP's.

So who actually bought one when they first came out?

Who bought one on the secondary market and when?

    In all my years chasing the Pittsburgh poster, I've heard all different things.  Folks have reported that it came signed & numbered, just signed, and nothing at all. I've never heard anything about a serial number (unless you're referring to the standard AP style of numbering, X/###).  I honestly don't think we'll ever know the complete truth behind any of these. :i_dunno:
    Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 25

    I'd like to see the dates on these as I saw these on FB too.

    It does say "Signed and numbered".

    So who bought one directly from Missing Link?

    Hi everyone.  Uncle Snuffy here.  As you may or may not know I am selling off my busdy’s entire collection...which inclueds the Blackie.  He purchased the poster in 2004 from its original owner who bought it from Missing Link.  I am honest and reputable.  I would never try to sell a fake or bootleg anything.  I believe you can even check my past posts on the forum referencing his poster over the years. 

    I personally own a signed/numbered Blackie.  So before I listed his I did a side by side comparison.  I’m no licensed art appraiser but in my opinion the paper, ink, texture, image, etc is all correct/legit. 

    i have 100% positive eBay feedback. My buddy has 100% positive eBay feedback.  We have both been PJ fans from the start and collecting since then as well.  In the future I will be listing fan club mailings from the early ‘90s.  That’s how far back he goes. 

    My friend said he’d be happy to speak with anyone about the poster.  His name is Tony K.  Forum ID is bustout.   eBay id is bustout7676.  And he said he’d even be ok giving out his phone # ‭(773) 573-3238‬.  Feel free to contact him.  TK is a stand up guy and a great friend of mine.

    Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to address any concerns you may have.  And for those of you also on Facebook please feel free to share this information over there as well.

    Thanks

    I have an unsigned Blackie as well. Looks no different than the signed ones.

    I appreciate the kind words.   This is a tight knit community.  We look out for one another.  Something you can’t say about many other groups.  I would never take advantage of anyone.  It’s not my nature.

    i value my reputation and my word.  If I say I’m going to do something I follow through on it.  I believe honesty and one’s word go a long way in this world.

    Take care,
