Re: [MOPO] Our 27th Birthday!

Best wishes and a big Thank You, Scott!

MoPo has been a great resource.

Subject: [MOPO] Our 27th Birthday!

 

February 24, 1995: The first MoPo message was posted via the American 
University listserv. 

 

MoPo turns 27 today—a remarkable feat for an old-school e-mail based discussion 
forum. As is my tradition, a salute to those 11 first-day MoPo members: Mahtab 
Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan 
Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), Cindy 
Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are still 
subscribed.

 

Poster collecting has changed dramatically over the past 27 years. While the 
Internet allowed MoPo to exist, it also decimated the old standbys of the 
hobby. Gone are all the paper periodicals like Movie Collector’s World, The Big 
Reel, Collecting Hollywood and Autograph Collector. Gone are the printed price 
guides like John Kisch’s Poster Price Almanac and Jon Warren’s Movie Poster 
Prices. Gone are many of the in-person conventions like the Syracuse Cinefest 
and the Fall Cinesation in Massillon, OH. The Columbus Cinevent hosted it’s 
53rd and final show in October, but will morph into the Columbus Moving Picture 
Show this May “under new management” as they say. Buying movie memorabilia 
changed dramatically, too. No more waiting for those massive (sometimes 
handwritten) lists of available items in MCW ads or the next Hershenson sale 
flyer with its nail-biting ordering procedure—will my call get through before 
what I want is sold? And how many “other” poster discussion groups have come 
and gone? Remember Movie Poster Forum, Movie Poster Chat or Movie Poster Talk? 
And for you long-time MoPo’ers who could forget the notorious Style-B?  All 
gone. 

 

The old MoPo FAQ, composed in the early days of our group, is now just an 
archive of what was.

 

No matter, MoPo is a survivor and keeps chugging along. We’ll continue on until 
there’s nothing left to talk about, or an auction to promote.  Or until 
American University turns off the listserv!

 

Thanks to you all,

Scott

MoPo List Owner

MoPo turns 27 today—a remarkable feat for an old-school e-mail based discussion

Poster collecting has changed dramatically over the past 27 years. While the 
Internet allowed MoPo to exist, it also decimated the old standbys of the 
hobby. Gone are all the paper periodicals like Movie Collector’s World, The Big 
Reel, Collecting Hollywood and Autograph Collector. Gone are the printed price

53rd and final show in October, but will morph into the Columbus Moving Picture 
Show this May “under new management” as they say. Buying movie memorabilia 
changed dramatically, too. No more waiting for those massive (sometimes 
handwritten) lists of available items in MCW ads or the next Hershenson sale 
flyer with its nail-biting ordering procedure—will my call get through before 
what I want is sold? And how many “other” poster discussion groups have come

And for you long-time MoPo’ers who could forget the notorious Style-B?  All

The old MoPo FAQ, composed in the early days of our group, is now just an

Thanks Scott for squiring us all of these years! Without you we wouldn’t exist!
 I’m proud to be a founding member! 
Yes, I religiously scanned those hand-written ads in Film Collectors World, 
then later in MCW. I remember the protests when they decided that hand-written 
ads would no longer be accepted.  
I still enjoy seeing the posts and examining the Heritage auction listings. 
Congrats to us! Here’s to many more years!
Thanks,
MIchael Danese

I'm not much for social media and it's faceless people!  But I've "met" a
lot of terrific people on this board. Where else can youlearn the most
obscure facts about movies and their ephemera?  So many great stories over
the years!

Happy Birthday MOPO and my heartfelt thanks to Scott for the last 27 years!
