Thanks Companero !
When it comes to buying, I'm more into stills & lc's since they are less expensive. And often the posters
have a similar design worldwide. So I rather have different images..
But as for collecting per se - I don't prefer one to the other.
I never counted really, I counted a pile of 2 feet and then measured (approx.)
the archive. (which is spread out, thieves will not find much here, in case
anybody gets funny ideas
)
Percentage-wise it is hard to say. I mean I have 39 int. posters for THE WILD BUNCH on the one side
and about int. 120 lobby cards and 1000 stills on the other side. But there aren't many BUNCH posters I do not have,
so it is always more photos than posters. I collect heavily on my favorite films and directors but
on some films I have so many posters & lc's it is hard to find new stuff. But one can ALWAYS find 'new'
b/w stills. For decent studio productions they often printed hundreds of different b/w stills.
I especially love behind the scenes shots.
I have a lot of German material too and since the lc-sets over here used to be so huge (18 - 50 in the 50s / 60s)
for each poster there's a certain number of photos...
