I didnt have a first that I remember but my introduction was in 1983. I was working at a collectables shop in college and the owner bought the Rebel Poster Exchange. A semi backed up to the store one day full to the brim of posters and stills. Several hundred thousand posters(maybe ½ million+? Not sure) and nearly one million stills(I remember that number because he bulked them out to a dealer in Japan). From the 50s up to 70s. With the exception of a few key sci-fi titles, multiples(over 100 in many cases) of most titles in nearly every format. If only I had known then

Not the very first, but one of the very first was an original first release one-sheet to The 39 Steps in 1969. I was traveling with it, and a friend let me stay overnight at his house, and he liked the movie so I gave him the poster (I was strictly a lobby card collector at the time).

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 -----Original Message----- From: Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art <[email protected]> To: MoPo-L <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Feb 24, 2013 1:51 pm Subject: Re: [MOPO] A question for you 18 yr olds.... first poster I ever bought (that I can recall) was a Beast From 20,000 Fathoms 1sh along with a Thing From Another World 1sh back in 1968 at the NY Comicon. 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".
