he's referring to the fact that a 1931 Frankenstein poster is $250k,
and that the 1938 re-issue is still a 10's of 1000$ poster that only
a few can afford and why is this not true for those other titles.
re-issues on those other titles are priced at a small % of original
issues (Oz 1949 release cards being an exception)
Frankenstein fans are only increasing, Rhett Butler fans peaked more
than 30 years ago

Rich,
I'll take all those original GONE WITH THE WIND and WIZARD OF OZ
posters that you haven't sold.
Addressing Phillips question, I think that reissue posters, if they
are good designs - for example, the NORTH BY NORTHWEST
reissue - THE HUSTLER reissue - have enjoyed some
appreciation. Other reissues, which seemed to have been
indifferently designed,
like the 1962 MGM reissues (those films were reissued to get some
cash flow for MGM which was hemorrhaging funds to Brando's BOUNTY)
still have the reissue stigma that the old-hand collectors assigned to them.
Here's a kicker: some video release posters are quite good and can
generate some interest from time to time.

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
