Wow, great stuff! Thanks!

I am going to Kinkos to see about printing of some of these poster size. If they can maintain the resolution in a larger size, it should make for some nice mancave decorations, matted and framed!

I've seen a few of those vintage hats on Ebay-cool but really pricey for the real deal. Always wondered how they managed to keep them on.
