As a side bar to all this - and perhaps to bring it back to posters a tiny bit - Do any of you think movie poster collectors are odd? I know I am - And the ones I've met and known over the years are some of the quirkiest -and often cantankerous - folk on the planet. So what makes us so crazy?

Alan We are not odd(twitch!), not as odd as Elvis collectors, maybe a little different to comic collectors, a tad eccentric perhaps. Are we odd like train spotters? Are we any different to those who collect militaria There are certainly some weird people in that field, who really wants SS

Alan, My opinion only, but collectors in general are quirky, opinionated, often obtuse, generally speaking. It doesn't matter whether its posters, comics, stamps or coins. The same bolt of cloth, if you will. I believe that with collectors there is a certain obsessive nature perhaps, to bring

Ok, I'm getting very concerned about the subtext now. No one would think male bonding over Cameros, large steaks and the belittling of a young man's horsepower sounds remotely gay. But worrying, there has been no denial of the accusation of Poster Gestapo sodomy. On 11 Jun 2011, at
