Something I forgot to mention.
The whole issue of whether they are real ads or not.
While very few of the print run may be posted up, the images get
spread all over the web and the vast majority of the print run sold
for profit.
Not bad publicity at all, pretty smart.

I think the best of these posters (e.g. The Searchers, Goldfinger)
will hold their value well, as will those where the art is better
than the regular issues (e.g. Ferris Bueller's Day Off, one of the
few I actually own). I've got Tyler Stout's Blade Runner which is
okay and a Flight of the Conchords one which I like as I'm a fan of
the show, but I agree with Richard that his style is getting a bit
tired.

After auctioning around 400,000 items, we finally are auctioning
our very first Alamo Drafthouse poster! For those of you who don't
know, the Alamo Drafthouse is a restaurant/theater located in
Austin, Texas. They create their own posters for showings of
movies. The posters are produced in limited numbers and are known
for their different, really cool artwork.
The one we are currently auctioning is from Hell Ride, the 2008
Larry Bishop motorcycle biker gang action adventure thriller
(executive produced by Quentin Tarantino) starring Larry Bishop,
Michael Madsen, Eric Balefour, Vinnie Jones, Leonor Varela, David
Carradine, and Dennis Hopper. It features Tyler Stout art.
The item can be viewed at

It will be interesting to see what it sells for. These ARE from
actual showings of the movie, so it seems they absolutely ARE
"movie posters", but some might argue with that! What is YOUR
opinion of these posters?
