I also enjoyed the GREAT interview that Andrew conducted with Todd. I had no idea that I was the same age as Todd. I also got into collecting 8mm silent films in 1963 at age eight. I did not get into movie posters until 1973. The names mentioned were dealers and collectors I have traded with and also purchased from over the many years. Like a good trade with Ron Borst and also buying from Ron the style b half sheet from "The Mole People" for only $50.00. I remember when Reynold Brown materials were extremely low. I bought a one sheet from "The Creature Walks Among Us" from Railton Cabell in the middle 1980's for very little. Then later decided to sell it in the later 1980's. I put an ad in Movie Collector's World. I could not EVEN GET $50.00 for it. I ended up selling it for $35.00 in Movie Collector's World. No one seemed to want it then. I used to get photocopies of the back of pressbooks from collector Larry Lind. As far as poster styles we basically were buying blindly in many cases. Just buying from magazines in so many cases without pictures. I remember buying the style a and b one sheets from '"From Russia With Love" for $25.00 each from Veto Stasiunitious (sp?) It was fun to call people back them and discuss the hobby. I looked forward to Movie Collectors World and The Big Reel coming in the mail. I would spend hours reading them and calling in hopes that the seller still had the poster or posters. Or the 16mm film prints. I did business with Clifford Thomas for 16mm films. I was not aware that he had posters. Did a lot of 16mm business with Ray Courts before he got into the Hollywood Collector Shows in Burbank. Ray sent many 16mm films to me on good faith. He also had access to airline prints too and saved them from being destroyed. Flew to San Francisco to work a great trade at Cinemonde with Jose Ma. Carpio in Januray 1985. Very kind man and Channing Thompson was the manager of Cinemonde at the time. THey were the premiere shop at the time. Gary Vaughn did manage Cinemonde in Nashville for awhile. I had a choice from Cinemonde to buy either the "Thunderball" 1965 subway poster or advance "Thunderball" british quad both at Cinemonde for $290.00 each. I went for the subway poster never realizing the advance quad would escalate so much in price. Today I would concentrate alot more on the country of origin posters. Plus the awareness of the wonderful foreign posters which in many cases are better than the american counterparts. I bought a lot of material from Ducan Poster Service years back. Also in 1975 I got to know the owner of our local multiplex. As the owner of the movie theatre he ordered for me quite a few James Bond materials directly from National Screen being the owner of the theatre chain. I still have his letter from 1975 apologizing that the total for the rolled MINT 30" x 40" from "Goldfinger", MINT one sheet from '"Thunderball". Dr. No lobby card set and numerous stills came to $11.00 for the total. The theatre here called me on Christmas Day in 1975 to tell me Bob Goodrich had sent the posters down from Grand Rapids for me. I remember buying a style b one sheet from dealer Paul Hein for $50.00 from 'Viva Las Vegas". It just had some wrinkles and could have been linenbacked. But I did not know Igor Edelman and Lara Edelman and Leena Edelman in the early 1980's in LA. So I called Paul Hein and had quite a time getting him to refund for the $50.00 "Viva Las Vegas" poster. I later learned more about restoration and linenbacking and touch up at the folds and deacidification. Then did hundreds of dollars of restoration business with Igor and Lara Edelman. Was very sad when Igor passed away. They were such nice and kind people. He restored and backed movie posters for collector Stanley Caiden to begin with. The Edelman's came from Russia and Igor worked at the Pushkin Museum in Russia restoring master oil paintings. Mr. Caiden got Igor interested in restoring original move posters when he came to the United States and opened his studio. I guess I am indeed one of the old timers now in the hobby. I think how spoiled people are today. With the internet you can see the images and conditions and know instantly what you are buying and also instant communication ALL over the world. That was not the case back in 1980. By mail I worked a trade with a doctor in Holland. I had a style b (without Swanson) one sheet I picked up for $65.00 plus an Academy Award one sheet from "The Deer Hunter" (1978). Also a R1974 one sheet from the re-release of "Animal Crackers" with the Marx Brothers for 007 materials. The only way I could communicate with this doctor was by telegram. No e-mails!!! Just trusting that this collector in Holland would come through with my materials in the trade. He did and I received many foreign James Bond posters including the French Grande from "Goldfinger" and a FOH British still set from "Thunderball" plus "From Russia With Love" photobustas. I have to agree with Todd too about the awful demise of actual 35mm and sometimes 70mm film prints at theatres and digital projection now. It's just NOT the same. It's TV in public. I don't go to movies much anymore. I like to work and restore real film prints. I don't think you get the color saturation with DCP that you got with film prints made from the original negatives. Digital is just NOT the same. Still trying to decide if I will go to see the sequel to "Mary Poppins" I have always considered "Mary Poppins" to be Walt's masterpiece. I know one thing for sure. The sequel will NOT be in IB Technicolor. With digital there really is no lab color process. So it's like color by crayola. Thank you for letting me vent a bit about the hobby. Also be sure to listen to the wonderful interview with Andrew and Todd. Todd really should write a book about this hobby since he was there at the very beginning. I like the fact too that he collects film prints like I do as well as original movie posters.
