Good poit Jay. I contend that the Universal horror titles of the 1930s
are often among the most COMMON posters for those years! Can you find
many 1931 titles where there are more one-sheets known than
Frankenstein? Or 1933 titles where there are more one-sheets known
than King Kong?

Well, I have items that I believe are one of a kind. For example a 1
sheet for a Richard Dix silent "The Glorious Fool", but I have no way to
prove it is unique. I expect that much of the paper for early silents
is rare to nonexistant, especially for lost films.
It is easier when the film is iconic and everyone is trying to find an
example. Any Dracula find is going to get widespread press.
My guess on why some stuff is more available is pure chance that it was
initially printed in too large a quantity and somebody warehoused it for
decades. Laziness rules where a more efficient person throws away the
"useless" trash.

It would be great if these same all-knowing censustakers could also
tell us "three known fakes currently being offered". While it makes
big news whenever a Dracula one-sheet or a Chaplain 6sheet is found
in
a barn, I wouldn't be surprised if amongst MoPo members there are
some
items that are extremely rare or have never been inventoried by an
auction house, so "they don't exist".
Thanks for any insight anyone might have.
