The Ten Most Original Gifts You Can Give The Apple Fan In Your Life

Cult of Mac Holiday Gift Guide 2010

APPLE iPad 4x6 ft Bus Shelter Posters

2 iPad posters: these are 4 foot wide by 6 foot tall bus shelter posters advertising the launch of the Apple iPad. They are uv-treated, double sided, in brand new condition and printed on a heavy coated thick and durable material.

Posters of this size of such high quality are hard to find and were never available outside of a few major US cities. They are backlit posters that were displayed last summer mainly in LA bus shelters and select movie theaters. The double-sided printing gives an extremely life-like look to the poster when light is placed behind it. They were printed in limited numbers, which makes them rare and hard to get as most are destroyed after use and are not available otherwise. These two highly collectible Apple iPod posters are priced at $120 for the set with shipping at cost. You may buy either one at $75 for local pickup in Nelson BC as only one of the 4' mailing tubes is on hand - I'd rather the set not be broken up for mailing. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

a set of iPad2 posters is also available - click the iPad label below - another set of the iPad2 posters are available but they were bent on one side in mailing and are $60/set - photos here

Wayback Machine Archive of Byte Cellar's "Picasso" Macintosh Logo info
