THAT'S a cool story! Hmmm... well, I had the Frankenstein and Dracula mini-reprints I ordered from Captain Company / Famous Monsters when I was 6. When I was 8, I found a Blazing Saddles poster in the trash behind the theater. It was missing the top right corner piece, so you couldn't see his peace-signed fingers, but I didn't care. I still have what's left of 'em 'round here somewhere. frankenwick

Later that day I bought a DTESS pressbook. sadly, though I made a profit, I didn't own any of these items for a full day as I sold them all and bought other stuff the same day, that I sold and made more money on before the weekend was out At 11:33 AM 2/24/2013, Evan Zweifel wrote: >In honor of MOPO's birthday, I ask a question: what was the very >first movie poster that you obtained? > >For me, it was the very rare insert for the James Stewart classic >film "Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation".
