There was a list of top posters for me to pick up. I have almost completed
that list of rational posters I could afford. I also picked up many along
the way on my quest to complete the list. I have stopped buying like a mad
man and will only pick up great deal posters now. For example - I picked up
a great 3 sheet to Varan at a horror con for only $35.

Very interesting...it must be difficult..some of my friends just wonder
about my collection...some think they must be very cheap...then I tell them
and show them and they are so surprised...it is a very young hobby...most
of the people really dont care about posters at all or anything related to
movie memorabilia...I believe the issue of displaying them and storing them
is a huge issue with new collectors...does anyone believe that we have more
collectors than a few years ago? I have a feeling that there are less but
more serious guys out there...I always wonder how many poster collectors
are out there...

folks i'm not talking star trek..i still remain concerned about getting any
of
my children interested in movie poster collecting...my oldest is 29..his
response "How much can we sell them for pappy cakes?" (he's so
affectionate)
maybe i should put him in touch with Bruce...my middle son age 22.."I think
we
should sell them and get a lifetime worth of box seat yankee season
tickets"
Maybe i could barter with Steinbrenner...well that leaves number three
son..he's
17 and actually likes some of the posters but hasn't heard of the movie
stars or
seen the movies..with the exception of classic horror and sci-fi
films...well i
figure he's my best chance so this is what i did and am doing..he agreed to
read
the learn about movie poster book which he did so now he understands the
lingo...i took him to columbus with me, some aspects of which he
enjoyed...i
have my posters listed and stored alphabetically..so were going through the
list
and i point out the posters of note...we look at !
those posters together and we try and watch the movie from that title..he
knows
i like hitchcock so we started with vertigo and rear window..he asked
didn't
anyone else besides jimmy stewart do hithcock movies...cary g here we come.
My
final phase in this process will be to have him participate with me in
e-bay
auctions to get him invoved in the decision to buy process...i don't know
how
this will all turn out but its at least a glimmer of hope that my
collection
could be passed on and continue to the next generation...best Alan
