    This post got me to take another look at Ebay to fill out my collection. I love these B4 speed posters. This Terrifying Girls High School 3 poster is in exceptional condition.

      81,000 yen for a rerelease 'For a Few Dollars More' bought my first release one for 20,000 yen back in 2007.....what are they smoking! By the way, the eirin number is the way to spot the difference on that one.

      Picked up hundreds from my time living over there between 2007-2010 used to sell on ebay and various places including the forums, never took the piss on prices, does this guys stuff actually sell?

      Here's some faves i picked up, probably need to re-photograph loads of these.

      'Horrors of Malformed Men' signed by Teruo Ishii and lead actor Teruo Yoshida, this was a score off YahooAuctionsJapan

          Here's are the posters i have for the 'Battles' series

          'Battles Without Honor and Humanity' B2 a bit of a cheat this one as this is a reprint, Disc Union exclusive with the expanded soundtrack anthology released by Cinema-Kan. Maybe Takuma can shed some light on this one, i've seen folded originals online is this normally a larger size? Is this poster an advance or a style B?

              Why have you got all those posters that I don't have?

              I can’t believe you’ve got Horrors of Malformed Men tatekan! You could probably sell that and buy a house. I don’t even know what it’s valued since I’ve never seen it for sale.

              Battles w/o Honor 1 tatekan must be worth millions as well.

                The 'Horrors of Malformed Men' tatekan was around 40,000 yen when i picked it up from a shop in Jimboucho around 2007/8, the 'Battles Without Honor and Humanity' tatekan was a YahooAuctionsJapan find a few years back for around 20,000 yen, never seen one before or since, used to have the speed with the same image, the cheap poster shop in Nakano [which has now sadly closed] had a load, sold mine and of course went back to buy another and they were sold out so this was a nice score. You can still find some bargains on YahooAuctionsJapan found a tatekan for the fourth 'Sasori' film for 3,000 yen no one bid on it bizarrely, the trick is to look at the other stuff they are selling, sometimes wrongly listed.

                Takuma any idea what the 'Battles Without Honor' poster i posted near the bottom is from, is it a screening of all the films? The one at the top is a bit of a mystery as well is it a style B or an advance?

                Here's some better photo's of the 'Horrors of Malformed Men' tatekan.

                  I'm not sure about the first one, and I don't have a clue about the second one

                  But I can say that the 大会 should be a screening of all (or at least several) the films by the very definition of the word. It means Battles w/o Honor "convention", "event" or "gathering". I've actually got two 大会 posters in my collection.

                  The first one is Toei Adult Film (Secret) Convention (成人映画(秘)大会) triple feature poster featuring History of the Shogun’s Harem (1968), Sex and Life (1969), and Two Bitches (1964). I’m guessing this might be from 1971 or 1972 from the word “porno”, which appears in the poster but wasn’t introduced to Japanese film vocabulary until summer 1971, and from the films being too tame and dated to be re-released any later than that. But I don’t know for sure. I picked this up 700 yen from Yahoo in Jan. 2020 together with some other posters from the same seller.


                  The other one is a Lone Wolf and Cub 大会 featuring the first two films. I don't know when exactly it came out. I also don't know when I got this... must have been from eBay long before I moved to Japan. The photo likewise dates back to stone age.


                  Speaking of Lone Wolf, I also have B2 for LW&C: Babycart in Peril. From Yahoo Jan. 2023 for 3.100 yen.
                  Here paired with Hanzo the Razor: The Snare, which I got from eBay more than 15 years ago.

                    The 'Lone Wolf and Cub' is a double bill of the first two films, just checked the eirin number on mine and weirdly it has the same number as the one on the poster for the first film, 'Baby Cart at the River Styx' didn't come out until the next year 1972 though, so this could either be a mistake when printing the poster or maybe a preview screening?

                            I've considered getting the Lynch Law B2 and Speed posters. Tatekan would be amazing. The B0 one I've never even seen before.

                              I don't believe I've seen those Lynch Law posters or those Reiko Ike centerfolds. Stunning!

                                The Mechanic tatekan (Yahoo Auctions, May 2023, 8200 yen) and a set of three B2 Bond posters (Yahoo Auctions, May 2023, 5400 yen in total, the third poster is The Man with the Golden Gun).

                                I got lucky with the three poster Bond set. The auction listing was a mess: fuzzy photos, no size specified and even the world "poster" was nowhere to be found. It was just listed as "Three Roger Moore Items". It took a risk with it and got three beautiful original B2s. I was especially pleased when I saw Japan Posters paid more for an identical Golden Gun poster alone at the same time (now offered for sale at their website for $300) and I got all three for less.
