Just for the 'fun' of it, I did a brief analysis of the Mopo posts over the
week, here's what came out:
Total number of Auction and For Sale related announcements: 62 Posts (84%)
Want-to-buy requests from dealers: 3 Posts (4%)
All other messages: 9 Posts (12%)
Of course, this was only one
and probably all of the posts in the last week came from a very small
percentage of the total MoPo list. Many members rarely, if ever, post
anything at all.

Thanks, Rich. 374 is surely only a small percentage of movie poster
collectors. I have to say that I was collecting for a while before I came
across it. Maybe if all the auctions and online dealers posted a link to

blood and
MoviePosterBid has a rotating banner with most of the forums having a free ad

I have no problem referring people to other

I totally agree, David and John. I rarely respond to MOPO posts anymore,
unless I have something positive to contribute. The endless, blatant
self-promotion and pissing contests among some of the larger dealers have cause
me mostly lurk. Some of the back-stabbing is amusing but after a while,
I have mostly been lurking on the Mopo site. I would like to share my collecting interests with the other members but have not been very successful in posting photos to the web. The problem is that if you talk about a favorite poster for example Florentine Dagger one sheet which is still a

We are all familiar with the Jaws 2 red sunset art, seen here on the

We emailed the collector and asked him how he knew this and he replied I
