Collecting Terms
Not sure what AP, OG, ISO, S/N, remarqued, variant, or colorway means? Explore commonly used poster-collecting terminology.
Poster collecting has developed its own vocabulary over decades of buying, selling, trading, printing, and documenting artwork. Terms such as AP, AE, PP, S/N, OG, ISO, variant, colorway, foil, remarqué, and show edition appear frequently in listings and collector discussions.
Understanding these terms can help you identify exactly what you're buying and distinguish between different versions of the same artwork. PosterDrops maintains a dedicated Poster Collecting Glossary with definitions, abbreviations, related terms, and links to examples within the database.
