Ha, thanks, yes it was cinema city, now cinema-city.com [5], in biz
since '75. They would periodically update their catalog and mail
revised copies to their customer base.
In the late 80s/early 90s I don't recall understanding/appreciating
"originality." Maybe full-size repros were uncommon then.
When I (accidentally) rejoined the hobby in 2009, I visited a few MP
stores in NYC and London, now all physically closed.

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
andHollywooddreamfactory,com Hollywood deam factory® since 1977
i haveadverstised in Bigreel, starlg,fangoria,PREMIRE, movie
collectors world, Rollingstone, americancinemaographer, and

heritage and cghristies and sothebys and others inuk sld but looked
at thecatalogs,,,LOL on many//iam happy withreprinst on most....i
also sold comics toys and pops autograhs,actual films and cameras
and still havethe same type stuffi always sold..and whats funny is
many collectors are getting rid of collections the problem is
findinganyone that wants it...at least fr me....so i always say
buywhat you like anyway incas you getstuckwith it....as you wont be
to bummed out as i like it anyway..i justdontneed 10 duplicates of

worn and i liked it some people pay extra to get guitars reliced,,go

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?
