Of course you're right. So I withdraw my emphatic "YES" to Bruce's question. This isn't the best time ever. But it's a pretty good time to buy movie posters. So maybe if 30 years ago was the Golden Age of poster buying then that makes this the Silver Age? ;-)

Those days are long gone they were the days of $200 Forbidden Planet posters & $100 Frankenstein lobby cards however, compared to just 15 years ago, this probably is a better time.. compared to 20-30-40 years ago?? absolutely not At 03:55 AM 8/10/2012, Bruce Hershenson wrote: It is my personal opinion that this is the best time ever to find and buy vintage movie posters. There are many thousands of real no reserve auctions every week (some 99 cents, some $1, $10, or $15). and there are LOTS of "major events" of "better posters", plus there are at least 100 dealers with bulging inventories, many of who have all or most of their posters well illustrated on their sites. There just aren't that many posters (other than the super-scarce ones that have ALWAYS been very hard to find) that one couldn't reasonably expect a good opportunity of acquiring over a few months or a year's time, and there are lots and lots of bargains all over the Internet, both at auctions and from dealers' sites. And unlike the pre-Internet days, where you often had to buy off of a tiny black and white image (sometimes no image at all) you now can almost always see a giant image of the item you want to buy. So I ask you, is this the best time ever to find and buy vintage movie posters? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7373 (20120810) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
