Hello,
I am not sure why I decided to use this topic to start posting my thoughts
on MOPO...
Here's my philosophy on the hobby of collecting movie posters, toys,
baseball cards, comics, etc. All the items that bring back fond memories from a
time
of youth.
Most collectors collecting these artifacts look back to a specific time in
their lives. Possibly from 7 or 8 until 15 or 16 or so. As we get older we
tend to collect from that time period. This may bring us to newer items, but
our
passions usually center around that time.
Our childhood is probably not the most important childhood on the planet.
Our kids are going to collect what made their eyes wide when they were 12, not
the things that made our eyes wide when we were 12.
What will they collect from this digital age? Maybe digital files that you
can't relate to. My parents could never relate to the comic books that I read
in the 50s. How many of us are interested in cast iron toys from the turn of
the last century or for that matter silent movies or the theater stars of
the 1880s.
