dunno if it's a great deal or not but blockbuster has some 16x20 framed blue Atari logo signs for 15 bucks, looks real nice to me grabbed one.

I thought all Blockbusters went the way of the 2600 E.T Cartridge.

Buried in a landfill? ;) No, there's still some stores around. I think Hollywood Video and some other one that was in alot of small towns (that I'm drawing a blank on the name of) all closed though.
 
Blockbuster went bankrupt and was bought out by DISH Network.
 
Yeah, I don't have any near me either (within an hour drive), but they're still around. They have a store locator on their website if you want to find one near you.
 
Yeah, I saw them at Blockbuster a while ago as well... I was thinking about picking it up, but I already have a poster of that exact image, like: http://www.posterrevolution.com/poster.cfm/atari-logo-video-game-poster-print-16x20 . The one at Blockbuster looks nicer though.

Blockbuster (by me at least) also had a LOT of clearance stuff... their Tron posters were all 25 cents, and they had a bunch of other stuff... so I grabbed a lot.

what got my attention on this one is, it's a plastic type of coating not a cheasy paper overlay, should last awhile and not fade.

Yep, I agree... it's got a nice matte texture to it. Mine also had a few others, like a Super Mario one, and some cool 3D lenticular movie ones.

Thanks for the heads-up! I headed to Blockbuster and picked-up their last sign ($15). It does have a nice finish and includes the frame, so it's just a matter of hanging it now. I also picked-up one of the Super Mario Bros. signs (same size, texture, etc. as Atari sign) for kicks! :)

I bought one of those posters on amazon for less than $1. Need to frame it though. Also a cool Tron poster

Got them from the same seller, so shipping wasn't too bad. Shipped very well in a triangle shaped box.

Yep, I got both of those from the same place as well... they had a few other cool ones too. Blockbuster actually had that (and a few other) Tron poster(s) on clearance for 25 cents a few weeks ago.
