COOPER&BURNETT Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) The following pages show four of my MEGA RARE original TV GUIDE portraits. The portraits were made before the TV GUIDE reached the stores or homes. They are very large, and very high quality professional color prints. They were made in EXTREMELY low numbers. Much less than 100 exist. Most, more than likely, no longer exist over 25-27 years ago. These were made to be given to selected people of the production crew of the show, or actors that are shown on the cover. They also went out to selected TV GUIDE executives, a few local affiliate stations, and or regional offices of TV GUIDE. These were NEVER sold to the public, or ever reprinted. I have placed the actual TV GUIDE next to it to give it some scale to show how large these prints are. You WON'T find this ANYWHERE else! Another Miamiviceonline Exclusive! (I posted the newest portrait on page 3!) Edited May 30, 2015 by COOPER&BURNETT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the dates are different depending on which year the TV GUIDE came out. Edited May 30, 2015 by COOPER&BURNETT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you are beyond crush & into full admiration and adoration, which is the way any true "Miami Vice" fan should be. Wish I could do with Sonny/Don Johnsons pictures what you have managed to do with all that you have & have posted.Thanks For Sharing All Of This With Us!!!!
