>I remember it well... as it was one of the 1st plaes I advertised..
actually It was called FILM COLLECTORS world and owned By AlandLight
and I think best then Brian Bought it in 85 I advertised in the 70s
.. that and Classic Images Sam Rubin and DonKey at BIG REEL where the
best papers to find posters and memorabilia,,,there where also small
hobbie mags for films and posters... we used to make up our own ads
prior to computers by hand on paper..I remember driving to Frazier to
beat dealines.. lucky me... they all where good people...to deal
with.. Don Key also had a excellent still service and it was mostly
western collectors however all crossed over genres,,, most high end
collectors did next day air of thier catalogs and scooped up the
goodies... I should have drove up there and got hot off the press,,,,
wowo i think of this what 30 years later..LOL... I should have
invested innto apple Too LOL... oh well...
