I thought I heard they where moving to NC years ago...there where so
many poster companys and makers in the 70s and 80s and in like 1993 he
entire pop culture biz imploded... over saturation and false
collectables hyped to be rare and yet cranked out solely for
consumerism... well maybe beanies and cabbage patch and nascar will make
a comeback 30 years from now.. But the culture is odd as you can buy
1950s repros of almost all stuff like coke, barstools, jukeboxes and Tin
and you nae it,,its still interesting but hard to understand as many of
the kids never experieneced the genres they collect on...Johnny used to
tell me that the 50s bands never dressed like sha na na or biker
greasers and that most 50s bands wore suits,,and dressed well.. so how
the " greaser style " 50s Rock look became a fashion eludes me,.I think
it was more mercy beat and germany like when the Beatles played Hamburg
star Club, that had the black leather look,,, any thougts on that OLd
beatnik hippies,,,:)

Last I heard Moviegoods was sued by, I think, Disney and Fox because
they
were printing unlicensed movie posters. They've since folded, though I
understand they have a warehouse in Charlotte, NC. Or at least did,
until
recently.

remember a Bob Mclaughlin I think from Canada and they had tons of ads
and where selling so many things,,but I dont see hem now... what
happened.. I guess they where in Las Vegas On Paridise road... any
INFO?? Ive seen so many changes since I started in this biz in 1977..
what about everyone else? when I sarted I think what was fun was
meeting the eclectic collectors that told me about thier hobbys and
would have me look for some really obscure stuff..for some strange
reason I would find it...now I cant even find my shoes..:) each day I
am
remeberingMore.. In the hospital they have shrinks see if you have
cognicent memory as tehey would come in and ask me movie trivia... as
pop culture hisory was my thing... at the time I remeber saying heyyyy
how many peopel would know that answer not knowing that was the whole
point to test my memory...so I would be talking about vivien Leigh and
then give them back story on peopel when they just wated to see if I
remebered anything...when the one doc came in he said YOU must be Mr.
Martin.... I looked up and I swear he looked like larry fine of the
stogges and I said and you must be Larry fine.... nyuck nyuck nyuck....
he said Is see you didnt lose you humor..I relized I just insulted the
poor doc but he had the identical hair puffs like Larry.....guess you
had to be there....they just loved me in the Hospital Im sure,,:):)
