Hi, being rained away last Sunday on a book market I picked up a 30's postcard
album. Usually I don't go for this sort of thing, but it was raining heavily
and the album was on the stand next to ours. It's a nice assortment of American
and German stars and movies with quite a lot of Dietrich
I've had a lot of these over the years (but no Betty Boop!) and they come
from every country and it looks like they mainly were super popular in the
1920s and 1930s.

In 1985, I was broke and so I sold the 1916 French 94 x 63 poster for
Louis Feuillade's LES VAMPIRES. Only known copy, very specialized and very
wonderful. I knew the person who bought it, who actually now lives about a
mile from me and still has it. I was never able to get it back from him,
what I didn’t like was the bunches of posters in the closets, never being
displayed, basically being collected without a sense of purpose in life
I feel exactly the same way. Posters should be seen not hidden away in some
Ark of the Covenant government warehouse. There are so many films out
Likewise, I've trimmed down a lot, aiming to own just those I display.
No huge regrets, but wish I hadn't sold my Bond quads, FRWL standard and
premiere, and Goldfinger.
Not then anyway, I'd far rather be selling them now.
In a sense I regret selling my Out of the Past 1 sht, but after wanting

We saw our Gilda poster hung on a wall every day for many years and never
ceased to be awestruck by its beauty. It's just a knockout poster in person,
so rich with black, deep red, green and purple colors, with no fading issues at
