Hi Folks, I've got 30 lots of 1930s lobby cards ending on eBay today. The majority of these were found under a floor, so condition is pretty terrible, but there are some pretty rare titles. Please have a look:

If they stop producing posters, I think collecting will definitely be affected. I think one of the reasons that there are few new collectors coming into this hobby, is that Lobby Cards have stopped being produced(with some exceptions) and displayed in theaters, since 1985. Young people simply

Zeev - Around Los Angeles there have been these huge screen billboards where the picture changes every few seconds. The public HATES them. And I believe there is a moratorium on them. That would signify the end of larger size posters for sure. However, I can definitely see their use in movie

Glenn, I wouldn't be surprised if digital posters replace the paper ones, but if they do, where would new collectors get the idea to collect moovie paper? As for LCs vs OS, its highly personal a choice, and I don't want to get into this discussion. Suffice it to say that in movie memorabilia

Zeev, Both points taken, it might or might not hurt the hobby. As for me, I was after 1 Sheets like Glenn. LC's were a find after I was collecting 1Sheets so I don't think it's a black and white issue. The advent of digital displays may dilute the new collectors but the scarcity may

yes Bruce, BLB's are also part of the historical lexicon of collecting. As a matter of fact, BLB's and Pulps have the same problem: only comic book collectors have an interest in them due to the tie between the 3 hobbies. But pulps are in worse shape than BLBs by virtue of % of issues

I don't understand. Soon, paper will be rarely used. At least, used much less often. Would that not make antique paper items all the more rare? Stamps, posters, autographs... shouldn't we restore, protect, and give high regard to these items? In my experience, if it's about to become

I agree that the continuing production of contemporary film posters is VITAL to luring newbies into the hobby and thus sustain the industry.  These new posters are the marijuana of the movie poster world, which lead - as sure as night follows daybills - onto the stronger, vintage stuff. In

Of course I am too close to this to possibly be in the slightest objective, but I think the movie poster hobby transcends baseball cards and comic books, and even coins and stamps, in a special way. If you didn't grow up with baseball cards or comic books, or if you didn't catch the coin or stamp
