In memory of
Larry Boshnyak
With gratitude for Larry’s foresight in saving the posters he bought at Discount Video in the 1980s. What he set aside then now has a second life with collectors.
Continuing Larry’s legacy
A portion of every poster sale will be donated to support Evans Scholars at Michigan State University, a cause close to Larry’s heart.
80s Posters Collection is independently organized and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Evans Scholars or Michigan State University.
