Half-life for Dreamcast poster

Post#1 » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:49 am

Are there any collectors of dreamcast stuff that would know the value of a Half-life for dreamcast promotional poster?

As far as I can tell from google searching there isn't much in the way of advertising for this game available since it was never released. I have had this poster stored away for a long time, back when I used to help run a local lan-party. This was given to us by valve (sierra at the time) to use as either a prize or just gaming content to put up at the event. Its 30" wide and about 6-7' tall.
pics in my dropbox:

The second photo shows the only rip the poster has, also there are pin holes on the top and bottom from it being hung at the lan-party.

Id love to hear anything from the community on this, I'm not sure if i'm going to sell it as of yet but there is always that possibility.

Could be fairly rare. I wonder though if the same poster might have been given away with a dc magazine at the time, if not then it could be rare.
If you check e-bay and there are no other copies or very few on there for sale then by e-bay standards at least, it's rare.

I would think that it's too big to be given away in magazines. I remember posters of the day being much smaller when they came with magazines. I have searched a lot in the past couple of months for anything like it and have come up with nothing.

It's the sort of item that is so rare it gets hard to put a price on it.

Prices on such an item can fluctuate a lot.

Right moment, right time, right buyer.

If this was a PAL poster I'd be all over it. Really cool item regardless :D
