I started in the 90s while working at a studio and cleaning out
closets and being allowed to keep the posters. Then someone told me
about auctions and how to find vintage posters and first was Singin In
the rain. I took it to Sue to frame and she proudly proclaimed that
this was once hers.
My attitude is I am trying to enjoy them now. Maybe in retirement I
will enter the dealer side of the business from the collector side.
And then when I am really done. Let my kids and future grandkids and
nieces and nephews pick what they want and sell the rest so someone
else can have the chance to enjoy them.
My kids have already called dibs on a bunch of them. Which I am
thrilled about.
And sorry I have no wheeler content to help you. But will keep an eye
out.

Hi Glenn - great question! I got my first posters in high
school, mainly vintage Cagney one sheets - Yankee Doodle Dandy, Man
of 1000 Faces, Great Guy, Captains of the Clouds, and more. I paid
$8 each and thought I was being robbed. That was the early 70s.
In the next several years my collection grew very large. I was one
of the founding members of MOPO and I wrote a large part of the
original FAQ. I’ve since sold off most of it, but still have many
favorite pieces.
I’ll be 65 in March, and I agree that many of our members are
experienced!
Thanks,
MIchael Danese

I was wondering what the average age of folks on the MOPO list is.
I've been around the hobby for 20 years now. And it seems most of
the people here who speak up have been around just long and,
sorry, much longer. If the next 20 years go as fast as the last 20
years I'll be 80 by the time I hit send on this email.
I've been pondering what would happen to my collection after I'm
gone. Wondering if it would be better in an institutional setting
or scattered to the four winds by being in the hands of
collectors.
So, yeah, that's what I'm thinking as I peruse poster sights
looking for more Wheeler and Woolsey stuff! LOL!
Glenn
