I subscribed to THE NATIONAL REVIEW, but they keep sending me MAXIM
as well. What is WITH that?

I got my latest issue of Maxim in the mail today. I don't know how
they keep sending me this when I ordered Scientific Digest ;-) but
I might as well read it since they went to the trouble of putting
it in my box. They had a one page item under "Stuff Collecting"
that promoted taking all your Fathead decals off the wall and
replacing them with authentic vintage posters. They gave 5 tips
(some I agree with and one I feel is debatable).
Tip 1 - Play the Hits - telling people the surest return on their
investment is staying with the hits such as James Bond, anything
Star Wars and sexy arthouse fare such as Blow Up. Though I agree
with this in ways I am still with the opinion to buy what you love
and not just for investment.
Tip 2 - Mine the Past - this has a quote from Sam Sarowitz stating
most posters in the last 20 years won't appreciate much so they are
saying to buy older posters (if doing so for investment of course)
Tip 3 - Go Global - telling folks to buy foreign posters of English
language movies. They especially point out that Polish posters are
insane in their level of detail.
Tip 4 - Don't Fake it - telling you with all the bogus posters out
there, you should look for tears or folds which are printed on the
poster and to basically buy from trusted dealers.
Tip 5 - Get Framed - they stated to get it linen backed which is a
highly debated issue out here but they also state to get if framed
and protected from UV rays (GO SUSAN!!).
Not a big story but heck, anything that can keep poster collecting
out there for others to get interested in is great for the hobby.
Just FYI.
