wow these papers were where I found so many good articles... I have
saved Movie collectors world
( formerly Film Collectors world) BIG REEL , Classic Images, Comic
buyers guide and Toy shop
along with autograph collector, Boxoffice, Variety, Billboard, American
cinematogrpher, shutterbug,
Hollywood studio, Premire, and dozens and dozens of Catalogs and
newsletters, and poster catalogs
and auction catalogs.. strting in 60s-70s
When Krause bought all the small press papers things changed,, I would
guess about 1990
was the turing point for comics and posters.. although several have
survived..
before that... there was many finds of things.. there may be again as
people want to get balance pay bills so tey may let go collections and
the like ...
Its a interesting Time of Change and I think there may be opportunitys
in all this Change.
People seem to want to get back to basics and ethics and many of the
things that make good commerce
and what made many companys bright in the past. I feel it.
So with the shake out of the Poster Industry and collectables whole..
there may be a correction However
It seems to me there will be a balance after all the dust settles.
What concerns me are wht is happening in the Formats of retrival systems
like HD versus Blue ray
etc.. Its like our TVs will be obselete by 2009 ... At the same time
they can sell more TVs thne
and as for Video DVD .. I see the complete archives beinng dowloadable
soon and may spell a end for video store rental.. If people can burn the
downloads.. and have them instantly why would they pay to rent? as for
the public display I think that may stay awhile as its a cultural
experiance to see a film in a group and the ambiance of the mega screen
and audio experiance still cannot be don in a small room
Home theatres though are kicking butt if you have 15-30 k and UP to spend.
All this aside... we are in for Change in a big way soon as I see it.. I
think it will be Good.

Alas, another publication bites the dust - Toy Shop
Magazine is no more.
Not sure if it's dwindling subscriber base or postal
increases or a combination of both compounded with The
Internet.
