Re: [MOPO] Why People Buy Movie Posters

[Kirby McDaniel]

Evan et al, Some people actually collect film posters based not upon the usual criteria: nostalgia for a film or graphic design appeal but rather for the intrinsic charm or curiosity of the thing itself.  This is something you see in many areas of collectibles.  Add a dash of scarcity and you have a poster like HEAD. And that's not a good reason or a bad reason, but it is THE reason as I see it.

But, can someone give me a good reason why anyone would want to own this poster? Ok, I'll settle for a bad reason.  Or any discussion on why people buy the posters that they do. thanks, Evan  -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Kirby McDaniel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some of you complained that you get a log-in request from Photobucket.
