No you cannot "claim" copyright unless you are the original artist/author. Just because you "found" a copy of something does not mean you own the copyright for it. The only way to obtain copyright is to create it yourself, hire someone to create it for you, inherit it, or purchase the rights from the legal owner.

Is it legal to sell posters without a license?

It all depends on what you use on the poster. To the best of my knowledge, copyright and trademarked names cannot be used without (written) consent, but you can show people's faces and that sort of thing, as people cannot copyright their self. This is why you see all kinds of posters and shirts with different movie characters such as Scarface, without the word "Scarface" actually on them.
