yep.. Ken is entirely correct and of course, this is pretty much what
my post said
what we do, will be forgotten much like the collectors who paid
handsomely during the 1950s for "Dime Novels" of the 1880s-1910s
you know, those small paperback looking things with western outlaws
and Horatio Alger stories
you can't get 1/10th today of what some of them sold for when they
were heavily collected in the 1940s-50s
and of course, I'm presuming at least some of you know who Horatio
Alger is (Go west young man, go west)

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.
