Ralph Mcquarrie Portfolio

[sith-smith]

Anyone know anything about this?

I've seen them for sale on eGay but was wondering how many prints are in it? Is it just from Star wars or all 3 movies?

Any idea on usual price?

There's 3 Different ones from vintage days. 1 for each film. Which one do you have?

 

[sith-smith]

I don't have any.

I have a plan to have Mcquarrie pictures framed and lining the wall alongside the stairs, so they can be seen going upa nd down. My Dad did something similar with his interest in steam engines when I was a kid.

Just trying to figure out the best way of doing it. I absolutely love his pictures and get a massive nostalgic kick from them whenever I see them.

The portfolio's are amazing. You can get them cheap enough off ebay. About £20 each. They have increased a little this yer since Ralph died. These are some of the first collectables I got and are well worth it. You wont regret it.




:shock: Just checked eBay- they have increased massivily in price. Hold onto your Klattu's for when Lucas passes..... :?

You will love them, they really are coo-el m8, I had a ROTJ set on the wall of my pad in my younger days & got a big kick every time I looked at them, get them framed though as me being young (& stupid) at the time just blue tacked them up & they got wrecked.

I have all 3 sets & plan to get them all framed up at some point, the ESB one is IMO the toughest one to get & the nicest.

Yeah- the ESB one is the best. Crazy widescreen Pics

Wonderful images. I like the holiday special stuff.

These were especially sought after by autograph collectors.They even did a smallish run of single pics framed up,with a light up cell and signed by Ralph(R.I.P.)these now command a very high premium,but the £20-£30 range for the portfolios are spot on.

These arrived today..... Really happy with them, nice and clean full set of 20 prints. I like how they are wider than the original 1977 Portfolio. Not sure was the ESB set the same 'Widescreen' style? I like that the description of each print is on a seperate sheet aswell as opposed to being on the print itself........

~The Jedi one is good never seen that. In the early 90s me and my bro were at a book fair or something like that and a seller had piles of the SW & ESB ones still shrink wrapped and knocking them out for £1 each.
We spent what money we ha don them and knocked them out to mates for a £5 in the pre internet days.
