Wow....those look familiar!! I would say for me it was about the same time as you, the early 2000's. I don't buy much anymore for my collection unless a really cool piece shows up. Once I got my Postman Always Rings Twice one sheet and then the Suez one sheet at the Butterfield's auction here in L.A., I was pretty much done. The other posters I want are now way out of my price league, so I am content with what I have. I try to switch out posters now and again so I get a fresh look every once in awhile. Thanks for sharing.... Sue www.hollywoodposterframes.com

To: [email protected] ...I ask this because I came across some photos of my collection, which I took for insurance purposes. I'm thinking that like most collectors, things come and go until a collection dwindles to near nothing as tastes change. I also know most collectors rarely disclose what they own for security reasons, but I don't mind showing off just one of many "glory corners" in my home as it looked, circa 2002. Much of what you see below was sold long ago, but looking back, I would have to say that 2002 was the year when I had the most posters displayed on every wall space available, so much so that visitors got headaches, unable to fix their eyes on anything, sort of like a restaurant wall crammed with too many signed photos. If the photo below was a 360-degree shot, you would've seen scores of other vintage posters in their own "glory corners." And this was just in one room. I had black-out curtains in every room to prevent fading. The major fires that hit our area in 2003 were the turning point to liquidate almost everything... I'm not asking people to disclose what they own. (But go ahead if you're game.) I'm asking if they can identify a "peak year" when they had "most everything" they could ever had want with their collection. -d.
