Welcome Cary ... I have the same learning curve as you regarding comps, but you are waaay ahead of me, as I have not attended any Cinefest/Cinevent/Cinecon.
Maybe some day ... ad ________________________________ From: cary black <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 8:42 PM Subject: [MOPO] Collecting interests I have mostly been lurking on the Mopo site. I would like to share my collecting interests with the other members but have not been very successful in posting photos to the web. The problem is that if you talk about a favorite poster for example Florentine Dagger one sheet which is still a favorite of mine after owning it for 25 years, very few people have seen it and so it is not likely to stimulate much interest or discussion. Allmovie posters has a thread where you can share your collection but they are heavily into post 1960 posters of monsters/scantily clad women and I am interested in 20s, 30s, and 40s crime, detective, mystery and film noir genres. I do attend Cinefest, Cinevent and Cinecon and bring an album of my posters with me to share with the collectors and dealers there. I find being able to discuss the art work, not the value of the posters, and to comment back and forth about them takes away some of the negative aspects such as the tendency for things to turn into a bragging match. In addition I am genuinely interested in what the other guy collects and am always eager to see what he has in his collection. I remain limited in ability to post photos to sites and has limited what I can share. I have never had any training on the computer except for specific programs that were used at work, so everything I can do I pretty much learned myself. I am not any good at reading the manuals to figure out how to do something and I also find that just being told do this and then hit that key just doesn't work for me. Unfortunately when it comes to computers I just have to be shown in person how to do something. The library has free classes but they only cover things like email for people who have never used a computer. Maybe others can share their collecting interests on Mopo, it would certainly stimulate more discussion.
