Good place to buy "posters" or "wallscrolls"?

I've been looking to buy a few from:
Case Closed, Fruits Basket...and basically some other shows....

So far I've found expensive ones..one for like $12.99...
and a bunch of Cheap knock offs (from H. Kong).....

I know that at the conventions some where being sold for $5...or something like that...
(and they have little numbers in the corners)

anyone know of any good place to buy any?

p.s- not on ebay please...since I don't have paypal ^^;

I don't think $12 is expensive for a wallscroll.

My experience has been they average from $12-$18. Posters are cheaper, but I haven't seen wallscrolls for $5 at a convention.

I got to agree with Nikki here. $12 is not expensive for a
wallscroll at all. I have never seen them at a con for $5
either. Wish I would!!

...my bad...
Sorry to sound ignorant...but then WTF is a wall scroll???
I though it was the fan term for poster....sorry for my noob thinking.....

Is that the thing that is made of cloth?

p.s-thanks for the awesome link ^^

A wall scroll is a silk or other cloth like poster that hangs freely on 2 rods. The average price is like the above poster mentioned. While they're are "fan made" ones, that is definitely not what they are.

The cheapest I've ever gotten a scroll at a convention was 10$.
On eBay I got my Chobits scroll for 99cents and 7$ shippping. Damned cheap! I know it's a knock off, but it's still HUGE (not the smaller imitations coming from hong kong) and the picture quality is excellent. The only difference? The cloth is less flexible and feels "starched", but I can live with that

I think even with posters, the only ones you're likely to find for around $5 are going to be Chinese bootlegs. They're usually small and printed on shiny paper, with a number in the corner.

-Oh....cloth like.....
Then I guess I'll look for posters instead...(Since I want to get some signed ^_^)
Thanks for the info midnight....darn those are expensive XD

-Then that means that all of the poster that I have are bootleg >_<
They are about 14X20..and made it Taiwan....go figure X_X...but darn they are really shinny, and the colors are beautiful...maybe I got good bootlegs XD

-Besides Posters....anyone have any recommendations on what to get signed???
I was thinking maybe pencil boards..dvds......or cards (but darn those are too small >_<)

No problem, I like helping when I actually know something XD

Yup, they probably are, but they're are occasions where bootlegs look pretty damned good! I'm a fan of getting these cheaper when possible, posters are no exception, I don't care if it's official, as long as it is displayable and does it's job

As for what to get signed I would think of getting pencil boards for sure, blank acetate (if you have a cel of the character, you can overlay em'), dvd boxed sets, or maybe a nice photo printout then you can matte and frame it if you like
