OK folks. As you know by now, I recently shared with y'all my 'find' of a wonderful hi-res photo of our beloved late Battleship Yamato. I adjusted the color, ran off a couple of large (and expensive) photo-posters and they looked great.

Now the question: In order to be able to offer these posters for sale (24" x 36" size) in the $10 range + mailing, I need to order a minimum of 100.

As you can guess, that is a bit of a pricey investment. So I am laying this out for your kind replies.

How many folks would be interested in a 24" x 36" poster for $8-$10 + $5 for mailing of the Yamato? OBTW, HERE is the cropped photo (the poster would include more of the sea and sky) so you can judge for yourselves if you'd be interested:

Well, if you want to talk about custom sizes, I CAN actually have an up to 14" x 56" size poster made on high-quality glossy photo-paper. The total cost would be $40 or so.

For an 8.5" x 36" size high-quality paper glossy poster, it would cost a total of $17.00.

I say this because I am getting a lot of feedback that folks would prefer a wider poster without too much sea and sky. Those I can get made locally in the higher-quality photo-paper format, its just a little more expensive than a mass-produced poster would be.

If anyone is interested please drop me a PM with your address. I can have them made and mailed out by the end of the week if you can pay me by PayPal.
