Talk about nostalgia... When I was sixteen, my best friend (the guy who
got me into collecting movie posters in the first place) had a 6-sheet
from THIS ISLAND EARTH on the wall of his bedroom. Yes, it overpowered
the room... that was one of the reasons it was so cool.
Oh, yeah, he paid $10 for it.
And y'all wonder why I creeb about today's prices... :)

OF COURSE 3 SHEETS ARE IMPRESSIVE.
BUT IMAGE WALKING INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND SEEING A FRAMED 6
SHEET OR EVEN BIGGER???
yikes!!!!
how do people frame those?
i know some people hang three sheets without frame, but the
black border adds to much prominence to the poster. when i
first starting collecting, i would buy a one sheet, hate it
until it was ramed. just a simple frame. but it adds so much.

Thank you Toochis.
Yes, I do frame 3 sheets for wholesale cost to other
collectors. A full archival museum frame for a 3 sheet is $299
at my shop. We do about 3-5 of them a week. As a movie poster
collector myself, it is always fun to see what other's collect
and boy do they look great when they are ready to hang on the
wall. Any southern California customers can contact me
directly. I have customers who come from Arizona, Nevada, and
northern California to pick up their frames. I even had one
customer who drove out from Florida for vacation and took home
all his frames for 40x60's and 41x81's. I appreciate the
confidence.
The problem is the frame is too large to ship assembled,
so what I do now is send the customer the custom cut frame
and assembly hardware. Then they call me and I help them
locate the UV filtered plexiglass and acid free Artcare
backing, in their own hometown. to complete the frame. You can
save hundred's of dollars doing it yourself and it is really
very easy to assemble. So, feel free to call me with any
questions. I am actually shipping out two oversize frames
today. Thanks.

I'm so lucky to be driving distance from Sue Heim so I don't
worry about framing 3-sheets. I have also had some great
linenbacking from Sylvia and Susan Olson. I'm thrilled I can
now find deals on 3-sheets. However, I've not found bargains
on the ones I want.

Outside of Heritage and emovieposter most 3-sheets are not
linenbacked. The vast majority are unbacked. Meaning if they
are going to be displayed they must be backed, restoration or
not. That adds to their ultimate cost.
Second, they're very expensive to frame.
Third, you need a lot of wallspace to display them,
specifically high ceilings.
Thus, unless they're rare and/or for very highly sought-after
titles, they're not as desirable as smaller formats,
especially 1-sheets.
And with things being financially tighter for most collectors
right now, I think they'd rather hold out for the 1-sheet than
purchase a 3-sheet they might not even be able to enjoy.

it seems to me that three sheets are getting less interest
and not increasing in value at the same speed as one
sheets, inserts or half sheets. sometimes, they are
decreasing in value based upon the price searches of
Heritage and Emovieposter.
agree?
could it be due to the fact that most three sheets are on
linen and collectors are shying away from restoration?
could it be that approx. 9 inserts can be displayed on the
same wall space?
in fact, it seems that the most three sheets being sold
are at the Heritage Signature Auctions........but often
selling at less than the same title one sheet (and even
selling less than the same three sheet 5 years ago).
