My god. Even the PDF is a goldmine for BTTF fans!

Doc101 · 11-21-2011, 01:13 PM

That's brilliant, thank you for sharing!

Jedifyfe · 11-21-2011, 03:10 PM

It's nice to see some of the costumes and props that I have never seen auctioned before.

I think I can use that Match Made in Space book and make a better version than my older one that everyone has.

DL4567 · 11-21-2011, 03:50 PM

Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as me.

Yeah it's a treasure trove of great prop pics. One that was particularly fascinating was Doc's future binoculars. The only other close ups of that were from the Comic-Con museum pics earlier this year. Also the pic of the 4 Marty's all wearing the re-sizing jackets was amazing. But talk about great reference.... even the paper props.

Yeah very nice referecne pics...

Useful... Especially the diagram of the Deloran, and I like this slurpee thing... ^^

Roland · 11-21-2011, 09:15 PM

OMFG, tons of paper prop images in good printable resolution!!!!! This PDF is absolutely useful. Thanks for posting this!

Examples:

Onkelpsycho · 11-22-2011, 05:33 AM

Very nice, thanks for cutting it out...

So, is anyone bored at the moment. there are tons of work...

Search4 · 11-22-2011, 06:01 AM

Looks to be a brilliant set of items. Wondering how high the Delorean will go for...

Roland · 11-22-2011, 08:00 AM

If you wondered where item #854 in the catalog is: It's hidden under a white box. Here it is (Biff Tannen's underwear in BTTF II):

And now we know: The two girls in the bath tub were fully naked. *lol*

Thanks for that cool update, Roland. The empty space is on page 15, how did you get to display the hidden content?

It's easy: I made a screenshot while the side built up. (My computer is a bit slowly, so I had enough time to make the screenshot before the item disappeared.)

Vivek · 11-22-2011, 08:46 AM

Thanks for the tip, I directly jumped to that page and noticed it for a second. Did that couple of times and managed to capture it.

Roland · 11-22-2011, 12:39 PM

Another cut out. Enjoy it!

Jedifyfe · 11-22-2011, 01:11 PM

I am working on the Match Made in Space book cover/spine and back.

I also just bought the correct book to wrap it around.

Roland · 11-22-2011, 01:13 PM

I'm just wondering: The dimensions of Doc's letter are 1116 × 1697 pixels. So if we presume that the height of the letter ist 11" then the width is just 7.23". There are three possible answers: Either the letter is not US Letter size or it's stretched in height or cropped in width in the catalog. What do you think?

Onkelpsycho · 11-22-2011, 02:35 PM

Maybe A4?!?

Would love if someone work on the other stuff...

Patience! By and by I will make a few vectorized BTTF paper prop replicas with Photoimpact and CorelDraw. Currently I'm working on a replica of the "Save the clock tower" flyer. And I always work very accurate. You will be surprised.

Onkelpsycho · 11-22-2011, 06:32 PM

Cool, thanks...

renesisx · 11-22-2011, 06:58 PM

I can get you the size of Doc's letter. I have an original in my basement.

This would be great. And if it's possible, could you additionally measure off the exact height and width of the written content from top to bottom ("western union" to the ink spot) and from left to right ("lab" to "him")? It would help to verify the correct ratio of the catalog letter.

In some cases (not in all) the images there have a better resolution than in the catalog PDF. Some examples:

BIKERFETT · 11-22-2011, 09:55 PM

I wish I would have been paying more attention to this I would have consigned some of my items.

DocNewborn · 11-22-2011, 10:03 PM

What a treasure trove!

I think the 1885 letters were longer than normal paper, just from what I recall seeing in the movie. More the length of a legal pad, maybe?

Interested to know what the 'correct' book is for the Match Made in Space prop.
