Although I haven’t researched it yet, I don’t think movie
advertising sheets (not press books, which are worth something
sometimes), and video posters (back when we had video movie rental
stores) are worth keeping. There are a few exceptions for posters from
video rental stores for titles that may not have received wide
release.

I worked in a movie theater in the 1970s and have boxes of Advertising
mats. For those who don’t know, these are sheets with printed ads,
always in black-and-white in my town, which the manager painstakingly
cut and pasted to deliver to the local newspaper to be printed for
that week‘s offering. The theaters received 10 to 20 large sheets
with one main style ad and a few variations. I’ve already pitched
Into the trash the ad mats for the double feature bad news bears and
Little Darlings. But what about movies, big movies like Close
Encounters, Saturday night fever, and Taxi Driver. People collect
posters, press books, and stills, but I don’t think there is a
market for these advertising mats/sheets. But I want to know what you
guys think. And I mean guys in the all-inclusive sense.

Same thing with a Posters for the video store release back when that
was a thing. On some you have to look closely to see that it is a
video Poster rather than the one in the theater. Dead Calm was one
example I stumbled on today in my garage. Should I hold on to
something like that if it is in excellent condition? Or should I throw
it away or put in the recycling been? I’ve already decided that if
the video release poster is not in near mint condition, I will recycle
or pitch.

Meanwhile it’s pouring down rain here in Daytona Beach, Florida. I
breathlessly await your opinions so that I can continue with my quest.
It is much cooler in my garage when it rains. What is your favorite
color? #HolyGrail

Thanks in advance.
