Thanks, Rich. 374 is surely only a small percentage of movie poster collectors. I have to say that I was collecting for a while before I came across it. Maybe if all the auctions and online dealers posted a link to MOPO (even if just for one week - MOPO week?) it might encourage fresh blood and more discussion, as well as a bigger audience for sales promotions.
