if it isn't going up in price, it's not an investment
now I can understand saying "the investment in yourself" as clearly we
buy posters for personal enjoyment, so the $3000 I paid for a
super-sharp Murder My Sweet one sheet in 2001 and have framed at home
was an investment in my enjoyment and every day, the cost of the
enjoyment goes down a little. My cost was almost $9 a day in the first
year I owned it, and went down to $4.50 the second year and after 22
years, it's 5 cents a day.
but as a monetary vehicle, posters have a pathetic track record the last
20 years, especially pre-Star Wars posters

*People keep saying to me "Bruce, what is something I can invest

self-servingly suggest vintage movie paper?
It might SEEM like I am saying this because that is my livelihood,
but it is 100% true that a LOT of vintage movie posters sell for
the same or similar prices that they did 20 or more years ago,
including both great ones and lesser ones!
This is something you can't say about just about ANYTHING else,
from real estate to the stock market to groceries to oil, to
almost EVERY other kind of collectible!
While many of the best examples of comic books or baseball cards
or so many other collectibles are "out of sight" to an average
person, you CAN still buy a wonderful movie poster for a
surprisingly reasonable price!
Want proof? Take a gander at my company's (eMoviePoster.com's)
current 3,185 auctions currently running in our 3-part 24th Annual
Halloween Auction at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html
These 3,185 auctions are FILLED with great horror/sci-fi/fantasy
items at every price level, and at the current bid prices, most
are at huge discounts to prices of the same or similar items many
years ago!
But you can't get those great deals if you aren't bidding, so why
not go to the above links RIGHT NOW? We think you will surely find
the great rarities and many low prices an irresistible combination!*
