Re: [MOPO] [MOPO] Mondo sales

[Alan Heimann]

I agree with you Charles with maybe one exception..As a collector I like
 many  of the Mondo artist interpretations …I collect everything but am
partial to horror/ sci fi..realizing I’m never gonna own a Frankenstein one
sheet  I was vey happy to obtain a copy of  the Francesco Francavilla
Frankenstein mondo poster (green colored Frankenstein) ..sometimes the
artists really nail it as I believe was the case with this poster  ..and
for some movies like white zombie anything would be better than the
original 1 sht..(again my opinion)..I also think some of the more (i’ll use
the word abstract) offerings are great for example the Darth Vader  where
the trees make up his eyes was inspired..I do take exception to the jaws
comment ..jaws posters are not rare they sell for a lot of money and if
rolled never folded for a lot more money..I wanted a jaws poster but was
not willing to pay 1000’s of dollars for a rolled copy ..i was happy to
obtain the mondo screen print in mint condition with it layered colors
giving the water the perfect blue color  ..I also like that many mondo are
24x36 so they fit into a stock frame..anyway wishing all Mopo a happy
holiday season ..best Alan

Re: [MOPO] [MOPO] Mondo sales

[Charles Stevens]

I was very anti-print for a very long time… I posted multiple rants on the 
various forums. Beanie babies V2.0… I was sure. I still worry about 
oversaturation of the key blockbuster titles. But am excited if some of these 
artists started latching on to some of the art films like Red Shoes and Days of 
Heaven which Durieux has done nicely. Prints also provide opportunity for art 
on TV shows and the new limited series trend.

There is some really nice art and there are new artists from all over the world 
stepping out in the private commission world. There is a thriving print 
community in the UK now that is far exceeding the art and printing of recent 
MONDO prints. I think the only mistake is thinking that MONDO is the only one 
out there worth collecting… Really MONDO as a brand has peaked IMO - in fact, 
they sold out to mega corporate Funko. I
Also despise how MONDO has simply copied classic poster art like Jaws...

I also feel that a shift will continue as new modern posters are riddled with 
suspect bootlegs & fakes now. Double sided posters are now easily reproduced 
and even harder to spot.

The screen printing or giclee w/texture layers techniques are unique and hard 
to imagine being bootlegged. I've seen 11x14 fakes on eBay but anyone with 
sense would know to avoid. Prints are also limited runs with just a handfull of 
APs... There are enough collectors to make a 200 poster run of a hot title 
scarce.

I  have given in and see continued demand with limited supplies for these. It 
is also a entirely different set of collectors and they are mingling with us 
original poster junkies now for sure. I think a nice blend of both is now a 
good healthy collection.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Charlie

Well said, Alan.

My take on 10,000 Mondos being sold in a couple of months is that INVESTORS see 
this as bad for business, but that COLLECTORS see this as an incredible buying 
opportunity.

Happy holidays to all, and here's hoping 2023 is better than the past few years 
(that isn't setting the bar very high, but we have to start somewhere)!

Dear Mopos -

My take on the whole Mondo movement is that they’re fantastic.
They offer an homage to films we love with affordable prices for the 
super-classics, and beefed-up better-than-the-original posters for many titles 
that had just plain bad art to start with. (Those bad art originals are still 
my real favorites, though!)
They’re great fan art - The successes and the just-okay ones.

I’m guided by one simple rule, however, if I’m drawn to something, I go after 
it.
Having never been a gambler, if something never increases in value, I still 
have something I’ve enjoyed that means something to me.
This is the collector’s attitude, but it does speak to the investor and dealer 
in me as well.
Of the countless movie posters ever created, only a small percentage have ever 
broken out in terms of high-priced sales.
When I started collecting posters I got them from the trash behind theaters.  
They were all golden to me because I loved them and cared for them.
One of the greatest surprises of my adult life is that any of them ever 
increased in value.

I still pull stuff out of the trash, care for it, and love it.
I even go after the stuff nobody else wants, finding beauty in the rejected.
Collect and invest in what you like because the true treasure is always in the 
eye of the beholder.
There’s no guarantee for success in this crazy world, but have a good time 
along the way and success becomes a bonus.
The monster poster you pick up off the floor in an old theater 50 years ago 
pays your light bill for a month.

Happy Holidays out there in Mopo-land.
Tom, Ron, Kirby, Helmut, Bruce, Grey, and all the rest.
And may Santa stuff your stockings with the printed paper of your dreams.

Is there ANYBODY left out there who still thinks these posters are a safe

I'm not saying it is impossible to make money with Mondo posters, but the idea

That said, I also bought a Mondo poster this year, the lobby card style for

Dear Mopos -

My take on the whole Mondo movement is that they’re fantastic.
They offer an homage to films we love with affordable prices for the 
super-classics, and beefed-up better-than-the-original posters for many titles 
that had just plain bad art to start with. (Those bad art originals are still 
my real favorites, though!)
They’re great fan art - The successes and the just-okay ones.

I’m guided by one simple rule, however, if I’m drawn to something, I go after 
it. 
Having never been a gambler, if something never increases in value, I still 
have something I’ve enjoyed that means something to me.
This is the collector’s attitude, but it does speak to the investor and dealer 
in me as well.
Of the countless movie posters ever created, only a small percentage have ever 
broken out in terms of high-priced sales.
When I started collecting posters I got them from the trash behind theaters.  
They were all golden to me because I loved them and cared for them.
One of the greatest surprises of my adult life is that any of them ever

Collect and invest in what you like because the true treasure is always in the 
eye of the beholder.
There’s no guarantee for success in this crazy world, but have a good time 
along the way and success becomes a bonus.
The monster poster you pick up off the floor in an old theater 50 years ago

[MOPO] Aw: [MOPO] Mondo sales

[Helmut Hamm]

2428 Mondo posters in a single auction... Plus another 2530 Mondo posters from Bruce in October, and another 257 in July 2022, plus thousand more that were sold through  Heritage, and let's not forget about ebay here... That's what, like 10,000 Mondo posters sold in 2022 alone?

 

Is there ANYBODY left out there who still thinks these posters are a safe investment??? Mondo seemed a fun idea when they first started out, but now the sheer number of them is simply inflationary.

 

I'm not saying it is impossible to make money with Mondo posters, but the idea of an 'automated' or 'guaranteed' profit' is plain silly at this point.

 

That said, I also bought a Mondo poster this year, the lobby card style for HALLOWEEN that can be seen here:

This is still fairly easily found for about $100, so it's a far cry from the expensive Mondos on this title. I like it because it reminds me of the House scene from PSYCHO, which has always been one of my favorite lobby cards ever:

In person, the Mondo poster is much nicer than the image suggest, but again: I bought it because I liked it, not as an investment in the first place. Although I have little doubt that I will be able to generate a small profit with this one in the long run.
