I'll accept what your saying with some lightheartedness. I agree that
it's quite unlikely that modern paper will ever reach those prices.
But, I collect because I like what I collect, not based on value.
Forgive me for getting dramatic with the best in the world rhetoric.
I'm the first to admit that i'd likely trade the whole damned lot for
a Black Cat onesheet. But please, I'm not the only one who collects
modern material. I believe it's shortsighted to discount those folks
as collectors proper

Sorry, but whether you're speaking of Japanese movie posters, U.S.
movie posters or movie posters from ANY country----the posters from
the past 20 years---because they've been so mass-produced---will
NEVER reach the level of rarity, value or collectability of the
movie posters from the silent era to the early 40's. Of course, I'm
not talking about ALL movie posters from that period of time. A huge
number of posters were destroyed/recycled in the early stages of
World War II, which increases their rarity. I can almost guarantee
that 40 years from now no movie poster from the 1990's will sell for
the equivalent of today's price of $200,000---an amount a few movie
posters have brought in auction over the past few years. The movie
posters of the 80's and 90's were produced in such incredibly large
quantities that it will never happen. True, I didn't spend a lot of
time looking over your website containing the "best Japanese movie
poster collection in the world". Where would I find "The Seven
Samurai"? Oh, I'm sorry--I forgot. That wasn't a film from the
90's, was it?
