So there you have it - because of TCM there is now $9 more spent on
posters than there would have been before.
Proof positive that the hobby is healthy and growing at a rapid pace.
Tongue in cheek of course, but I get the point.
I am a mix of the two - watching old movies has probably inspired me to
add some items to my collection I probably wouldn't have, but nothing can top
a fantastic poster. I bought a beautiful copy of an Affair in Trinidad
"A" style one-sheet at Morrie's auction a couple of years ago solely because
of the striking image of Rita Hayworth as I have yet to see the film itself.
depending upon the genre, those who collect posters without a tremendous
passion want GONE WITH THE WIND, CASABLANCA, DRACULA, PSYCHO because
everyone knows the films.........
but, how may under 35ish know THELMA JORDON, SORRY WRONG NUMBER, THE
BRIGHTON STRANGLER, LAURA, THE BISHOP'S WIFE, LOST WEEKEND?
maybe younger people dont even know the most sought-after titles such as
DOUBLE INDEMNITY, DIAL M FOR MURDER.........
wow.............Lucy had a career before Lucy Riccardo?
get addicted to TMC, and watch sales increase. (as i said, i often watch
an old movie, then search out for the poster.....)
