I was walking by a cheap Georgia movie house in the 70's. They Call Me Trinity 1sh, (the one with the tag line: "Senor, Let me blow my own nose, please"). I asked for it, they gave it to me. 'It' was on. I've always liked interesting graphics and/or tag lines. I 'blame' my grandparents for the collecting disease, they went thru the depression and never threw anything out. It started with used stamps and coins. Sadly, the disease has evolved and mutated. It hasn't been pretty, (but it has been interesting). ad

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 10:02 PM OK, OK, perhaps I'm being biased and presumptuous again, but, yeah, maybe it's time to take a break from the American Idol talk. I think I'm starting to grow a uterus. I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I'm really curious; what was it that drove you to become a collector of movie paper? Obviously, we all love films, but where did you find that first piece that set the hook? did you come across it by chance, or did you seek it out? Who sold it to you? This ain't exactly a mainstream hobby like stamp collecting, so what beaten path did you step off of to become a hopeless poster geek? There's a treasure trove of old-time collectors on this list, plus a fair amount of new blood (those guys under 70), and I'm sure there's some fascinating tales out there. I always enjoyed Bruce H's collector profiles...now I'd like to hear about some of my MOPO mates. I'll chime in later; after months of lurking, I've suddenly developed explosive MOPO diarrhea, so I'll give you guys a break and listen.
