vintage Apple product posters random grouping #3
Apple product placement posters circa 2010/11. that's 18 so far. there are duplicates occasionally, this time it is the black MacBook Air poster. shipping will be a factor - would not want any damage so possibly lightly rolled into a box then that box into another with padding all around. shipping flat may mean a puncture would get all of them so maybe the factory cardboard inside a larger box or you arrange a courier pick-up... local pick up in BC Canada would be best but that is limited these days too.
if i find more i'll just include them - the price for all 25 posters is $20 apiece for a total of $500USD. i just want to liquidate and keep trips to the post office to a minimum. all posters go as a lot - no individual sales at 20 bucks a pop. packing, safe shipping and insurance are going to be an issue but we can work something out. to see all 4 lots click the poster lots 123 and 4 label below

Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster + a signed Kozik proof
The poster was designed by Frank Kozik, and features his 'Puggo' version of Sluggo from the Nancy comic that provoked threats of a lawsuit. It is the actual "Let's Kick Intel's Ass" poster that was pulled the first day of Macworld. Only a few of these posters were handed out before one of the PC "suits" decided that they would no longer distribute them. They were removed from the booth and the show-floor locations where they were being handed out. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the Mac clone program was ended.
This super rare Macworld Power Computing Mac clone poster is priced at $275 with mailing at cost of postage. It will be shipped insured inside a heavy cardboard tube. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
A companion signed Kozik poster that was the basis for the KickAss poster is also available - it is an artist proof #626/1750 and priced at $175 - buy both for $425 and that includes shipping.Power Computing Corporation - Wikipedia

Rare Power Computing Kozik Macworld "The Counter Assault Begins" poster collection
The original owner had this to say about it: "This poster is in great condition and has been in a protective storage since I acquired it during the 1997 Macworld Expo in San Francisco and was unrolled only to take this picture." This Apple clone poster was designed by punk rock poster artist Frank Kozik and was distributed at Macworld. "Kozik is best known to Macintosh users for these in-your-face illustrations for now-defunct Mac-clone maker Power Computing."
"Power Computing was the most successful of the Mac clone manufacturers in the mid to late 90's prior to Steve Job's return to Apple and putting an end to all the clone makers. Power Computing's booth at Macworld '97 in San Francisco was a big party. They rented Hummers, had mini flags with the company logo hanging from the front of the hood field marshal-style, and wore urban camouflage fatigues and berets."
"Their slogan was 'We're fighting back for the Mac!' Their stated enemy was Microsoft, which pissed off the Microsoft people, as they would stand with a microphone on their stage and hurl barbs and insults in the direction of the Microsoft pavilion."
Apple history note: Macintosh clone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he halted negotiations of upcoming licensing deals with OS licensees that Apple executives complained were still financially unfavorable.... Apple bought Power Computing's Mac clone business for $100 million, ending the Clone era.
This highly collectible vintage poster is priced at $350 USD plus postage. The matching 1994 original poster titled People's Victory that this one was "cloned" from by Frank Kozik for Power Computing is also available for $200. It is an artist's proof (A/P) and is pencil signed by Kozik. Click photos for larger images. There are other rare Kozik PowerComputing posters and shirts for sale - click the labels below. Buy both posters for $500USD and that includes insured postage. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing 1997 Fight Tyranny Macworld poster
At the January 1997 Macworld Expo, Power Computing fired up the Mac faithful with its “Fight Back for the Mac!” campaign, complete with company reps dressed in camouflage uniforms circling the Expo hall in Hummers emblazoned with Power Computing logos.
This poster was collected at the January Moscone Center Macworld Expo and the original owner had this to say: "The Power Computing booth was out of this poster by the time I got there, but a peripheral manufacturing company (whose name escapes me) was displaying this - hence the staple holes. Anyway they said I could have it if I came back at the end of the day. So I did! As mentioned, this does have some holes where it was stapled to a display board." It measures approx. 23" by 32" and the staple holes in top and bottom white space should cover when framed.
This highly collectible and nearly impossible to find vintage poster is priced at $350 and that includes insured postage in a heavy cardboard tube. There are other vintage and rare posters and shirts from the Power Computing era available - click the labels below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

DILBERT at 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino California Animation Cel
DILBERT at Apple Computer Headquarters - an animation production art cel from the 1999 season of the Dilbert TV cartoon show. This is an original production art cel accompanied by a glossy presentation background. Size is 13"x11". This setup has a full walking DILBERT as the cel and the Apple rainbow logo at 1 Infinite Loop on the separate background. This is the original back painted cel. It is now a lost art as Dilbert was one of the last hand painted cartoon shows prior to the transition to digital.
These Dilbert episodes originally were broadcast on the UPN network, but you can still see them on the Comedy Central cable channel. This cel was purchased from Nigelwackenfrets in Florida - the only source for the originals. It is highly collectible and is accompanied by certificate that this is an authentic Dilbert TV cartoon production art cel but aside from that this is one fine Apple collectible. It is priced at $85 unmounted/unframed in the shipping tube. There is another Dilbert/Apple art cell available - click the Dilbert label below. Special cel matting is required.

Apple Power Mac G3 Pentium II Chip on a Snail poster

Not quite. The chip inside of every new Power Macintosh G3 is up to twice as fast." - then the rainbow bitten Apple and Think Different.

the Apple Macintosh 35 years ago." from Smithsonianmag.com
