The poster makers of Who Made Who host their occasional $5 Poster Sale, offering "scratch and dent" (flawed or imperfect) posters for only $5 apiece. The studio run by Minneapolis poster artist Amy Jo has created posters for everything from the Raveonettes to Mark Mallman's Marathon 3. They might not be perfect, but you can't beat getting a one-of-a-kind print for this cheap.
