I own 3 reissues, 2 of which seem to have some value:
1. Cat People R52 - because the artwork is pretty good.not as good as the original release, but pretty darn good 2. Walking Dead R42 - this is just one of my all-time favorite posters.the artwork is great and the deco style fits my personal taste 3. Grand Hotel R5? - I bought this only because the artwork is the same as my original 1932.the 1932 has blue background, while the reissue has red background That is all.

A year ago, a purchased a mint CASABLANCA reissue. i hated it!!!! couldn't look at without thinking it was a reissue. resold it on ebay, and made about 30.00 However, i do own the Rebecca half sheet reissue of 1948. I bought it in the first batch of posters i acquired, 20+ years ago. Probably ripped off at the time----i paid $40.00. I have seen it sell for 350+. (this is the EARLIER reissue). So many of my originals have their reissue counterparts going for nice bucks-- And so many reissues look better than the original!!! Presently on ebay, there are about 3 reissues of posters of which i want the originals. but, i will still wait.
