hi i think you may have ben thinking cinema city in mich also there was
ccs inlivonia.. andricks movie graphics in gainsvill florida..also
poflake in illinois
Jerry Ohlingers in NYc(he is stillon ebay as JOMMs has been a
longstanding one and most closed the brrick and morter shops,,likerandy
ay collectors warehouse in cleveland[ebay Bradburied
remember when -dallas sheron herndon, i belive closed movie madness
washington dc /geaortown closed ..as many bought from me diringthe 80s
and we all tradeded..bill luton Movie posetheaterexchenge and many more
havegone back tomailorderdo to high costs ofretailstors plus the
slowdown insales and also the commercial reprint market has slwed as
noone wants thetitles they did in the 80s..so there are fewer reprints
out there,andfewere interest,,,i just told anotherdeaalerits been years
since anyone even ask ed for theda Bara ad the younger people dontcare
abutbogi, gable and all..soa few marilyns is about itand monster stuff
andforawhielscarface was hot but that all gone..
so just the auction people seem to do ok on hot old posters...since in
ever sold 100k posters i never knew those buyers..i sold to everybody..
papercatalogs where costlyand got utdated fastand the supliers could be
sold out so unless you could afford mass quatities it was a waste of
time to inventory most posters..and havediversity and wheninternet
stared everyone had same titles....so they where not hard to get and
thepacking costs heep going up...so many postersupliere did affiliate
programs and so the same posterwas being offered by10 vendors butmost
didnteven stock it so it was anyone guess iftwould ship..
to see whos in buiness i suggest get classic images ,,bob kingwill send
youa free copie ifycal oremal...good publicationand most dealers on mop
and ebay are inthere.. as the small dealers like me...im on thenet and
ebay however i have been ill for sevela years ao unless someone calls me
oremails me i just list on ebay or tell people,,ive ben in busines sice
1977 and still have stuff from when i started... but its all over the
place and i sell all kinds of stuf like books and things so how we did
itback in0s and 80sis a person would ask waht do you have on....and then
came or title andi would say i havethis ormakea package dealast f
stuff..i have many things yjay mpoperes ask for but i have tolocate
beforeillacept theorder as sometimes i remebersomethingisold already on
onesies...or sometimes itmayhavewear asi havenotseen it in 35 years
lol;;anyways.....whenwe started back in 77 most posters costus 2.99-6.00
then went to6-10 and then episode 1s were the 1st that came out
wholesale as 100.00 and discusted me as they could have made more...the
late 80s was when repos came out butalso there was many fins inlots as
nationscreen service closed down..butmanypeople like me and others
stocked up on good title like movie gallery in east meadow new york and
others...there were a few la dealers that stocked up..were all getting
old now some in 70s...so thats another reason im 61 and was like 20 when
i started in this crazy biz..
buyere interest have changed....because ofage...the access is easy to
see and thegraphics have stopped beong like the painters of the pre
90s..so there are great artists still but far and few..imho
my stire that is currentlymailorder is DreamFactory id on ebay

many//iam happy withreprinst on most....i also sold comics toys and pops
autograhs,actual films and cameras and still havethe same type stuffi

I do remember ordering a few MPs from a printed catalog (text only)
from a mail-order MP store in Michigan (or Minneapolis). I long ago
lost these posters. I don't remember how I found the store. I've
forgotten the name of the vendor now but it was still in operation 4-5
years ago.
What pre-internet MP mail-order stores did you buy from, how did you
become aware of them, and are they still in operation?
