Introduce Yourself....
If this is going to be a community we need to get to know eachother. Take a second to introduce yourself & let us know about your collection...
Hey there-
I have a pretty good collection of Real props. I am a big Flash Gordon 1980 fan as well as the Rocketeer.
I think this forum is a great idea. I have nothing against replicas and own several...but generally the replica guys dont like to chat about the screen used stuff. That has been my limited experience anyway. It takes all kinds in this hobby and I think that is good.
I'm Ozgur (Oscar) from Ankara/Turkey. I have been colelcting since 11..and now I'm 18!
This is the first prop forum I'm wirting, so no one has seen my collection before. I have stated collecting by collecting STAR WARS during 1997. Later on while my collection was growing on, I jumped on the other areas such as colelcting other toy lines while continuing my favorite line Star Wars.
Later on I was impressed with few items I saw in prop communicty so that was the day I moved on some more serious pieces! I started my prop screen-used collection with a piece of original Spiderman-2 costume..than the rest came! You'll see everything soon!
I have been collecting props for about 6yrs now. I started out with mainly replicas. I recently decided to purge my replica collection & collect only screen used props. Since then I never turned back For the short time I have been collecting screen used props now, I like to think I put together a pretty nice collection. I hope to share it all with you guys
Re: Introduce Yourself....
Hey everyone, my name is Desi, and I've been collecting screen used props and wardobe for about 7-8 years now. I never really got into replicas since my first piece was a Mattel hoverboard from Back to the Future - and then the drug kicked in. I had to have the rest of the set of hoverboards, and eventually over a few years was able to collect the others. To this day, I have not run into another collector with a set of all 5 (Mattel, Pit Bull, Rising Sun, No Tech, Question Mark).
My interests are in movies that I enjoy - such as the Back to the Future trilogy, Star Wars, Terminator 2 & 3, Blade Runner, Indy trilogy, etc.
Over a year ago, and friend (Jeff) and I created ScreenUsed after many people asked for assistance in acquiring certain props and wardrobe that we had access to. The company has grown steadily and is now the most enjoyable career we have ever had.

Re: Whats up?
I'm Phil Steinschneider from Sterling, Virginia (just outside Washington, DC). I'm primarily known for my brokering of screen-used props for industry insiders and collectors, but I also collect them when the right piece appears.
I'm always looking for "Blade Runner," "Minority Report," and "Predator 2" props for my personal collection.
I've been involved in several interesting prop reproduction projects (C&S blaster with Richard Coyle, SD Pulse Rifle with Steve Dymszo, Deckard wallet, Carter J. Burke card, Harry Potter snitch, etc.).
In addition, I've done prototype work for Master Replicas and development work for industry propmakers.
Although this is a hobby for me, it's awfully close to being a fulltime job, but I still don't call it that.
Finally, if you're looking to sell your screen-used pieces via eBay auction or private placement, I'm always happy to help.
Re: Introduce Yourself....
Hey All! Great board! I have a bunch of screen used stuff, a lot of STNG and a few other odd pieces from here and there. I will post shots in the appropriate link in a little while. I lived just north of LA (in Valencia) in the early 90's and worked at a low budget studio called Valencia Studios as a Stage Manager. I have been collecting Props for about 15 years now.

Re: Introduce Yourself....
TK-725 here. Known as SpikeSpiegel on the RPF. I have a bunch of replica stuff but no actual screen used items and figure this is the place to go to learn how to obtain them.
I have a decent replica of the map from the Goonies.
A sweet Sloth mask.
A replica of the Copperbones Key from the Goonies and the newspaper as well. I made both of them myself. It would be really nice to own something from a actual film.
Some of my avorite movies I'd love to have screen used props from
The Goonies,
Star Wars Original Trilogy ( Original version)
The Lord of the Rings (It isn't a trilogy though they call it one )
The Labyrinth
Ghostbusters
Legend
Barry Stephenson from Burlington, NC not too far from Raleigh. I've been collecting replica props for a number of years but have recently acquired my first "screen used" costume, a complete MI A Grade outfit from Starship Troopers! So, with that, I can finally post here and be legit!
Re: Introduce Yourself
It's only quiet if you let it be.
I'm Brin, one of the originators, and owner of "The Brotherhood of the Bat" and "League of Heroes" costuming forums.
I just quit my job as a traveling musician this year to get into screenused pieces.
It's moving slow, but I'm enjoying it...most of the time.
