Ebay is a damn good place to find vintage posters. Just make sure they're originals by checking seller ratings. Also, if they're too cheap, they're usually cheap reproductions.

Are you looking for originals or cheaper copies? I have the "Eat More" poster, (bought it cheaply in an upstate antique mall), I have googled it and found copies for sale in the $600 range...

Email the International Vintage Poster Dealers Association (www.ivpda.com). It has a list of vetted, reputable dealers that sell the type of poster you're looking for. Most of the stuff on eBay is repro.
