And are we to discount material from the last to decades as
uncollectable? That seems rather closed-minded. There is a new
generation of collectors like me who concentrate on hypermodern
material because the classic material is mostly unatainable but for
the wealthy. Moreover, the posters that you so quickly discount and
insult now will, over the next decades, come into their own. Great
collections are not built upon only classics - they are built upon
individual vision and tastes. Whether or not you like the subject of
the collection, I defy you to find another of its ken.
Btw, you reviewed a collection of 3000 posters in how much time to
allow you to pass judgment on me, sir?

Hey, maybe I'm from another generation of movie poster collectors,
but the collection of Japanese posters touted as "one of the best
collections in the world" appears to primarily consist of posters
from the past 10 to 15 years. I can't imagine it being considered
among the best Japanese poster collections in Des Moines or Duluth,
let alone THE WORLD. Hey, you might have a problem with Claude--but
at least we don't hear him bragging about his collection of Charlie
Chan material from the 30's and 40's (which is, indeed, a collection
he could brag about if he so desired). I've always found that the
collectors who truly have the best collections don't advertise what
a great collection they have.
