So, to return to calmer waters, the question to Rich about Universal horror
posters may have been cheeky but it got me thinking - I wonder what
hobbyhorses MOPO members have? By that I mean is there any particular
genre, topic, star, etc. that you are keen to collect?
I bought a one sheet of the first Durango Kid movie about 6 months ago, and
it took me back to my childhood, Saturday afternoon matinees where Durango
was my hero.I decided then to try to collect all 65 one sheets from the
series, or failing that at least half-sheets or inserts. So far I have
managed 6 one sheets,4 half sheets, 1 insert and 2 title cards, as well as
various lobby cards and photos. I have no idea whether or not all 65 are
available, but I am prepared to be patient - it's a little foible, not
something to be fanatical about. I have let some posters slip through my
fingers as I thought they were too expensive; maybe they'll appear again at
a more reasonable price, maybe not. And if I never collect them all I'll
hardly be heartbroken. So, what floats your boat for your personal
collection?
