are always loads of fans for them
Dorothy and Rhett don't have many fans anymore

I realize that the value of posters is set generally by the consumer
marketplace in large measure, and can be affected as well by
speculation and trends. It is my opinion, and I don't know how to
verify it, that super high end items like King Kong, Frankenstein,
and Dracula, not only bring very high prices for original release
material, but generate high prices across the whole range of
different sizes for most of their re-release posters. Even somewhat
lesser titles like Ghost of Frankenstein or A&C meet Frankenstein
sell well on re-release.
On the other hand, and putting aside films where maybe there is one
very iconic size and image (say the one sheet for Gilda), it seems
to me that re-release material from films where any original paper
commands high prices, like Robin Hood, Gone with the Wind, The
Wizard of Oz, Flash Gordon or It Happened One Night, seem to drop
off much more dramatically from the prices that original release
material brings. Anyone have an opinion to share? Thanks
