What do you NOT collect?

[Mirosae]

I tend to stay away from stuff marklawd is bidding on!

 

[Mondo Hazardo]

I won't collect any posters with small mammals kissing or on bicycles

[holiday]

Belgian posters.  I can't stand them.  Yugoslavian posters are a close second.

So large mammals on unicycles are fair game?

I don't collect currency. Found out I could trade it for nice posters.

[kovacs01]

Turds, I don't collect turds.

I don't discard them at first glance, but they have to smile really cute

Belgian posters.  I can't stand them. 

 I thank them for African Queen and The Treasure of Sierra Madre.

I know.. just joshin' with you, Anthony. 

The R60s, military style, Creature From the Black Lagoon, tho, I always thought looked good. The artwork and design were both pretty darn nice.

Why I oughta...
I forgot about Creature...you're right,that's not half bad.Make that two I like.The other, I think was a western....can't recall it.An NS4 member posted it years ago.

[Mirosae]

hehe...no, no...I'm not that anti-gun.
In the old days they used to print posters specifically for the military bases around the country.They were most always black and white or duo tone.Very fugly!! I think I've only seen one that was even remotely collectible,IMO.

Thanks for sharing this info Anthony. I didnt know what ''military style'' meant - i never really bothered to look into it. I heard about the term ''military'' before, but had no idea what it meant. I like the ''military'' style for the Hitch "Marnie" poster. Very much. But then again, i love B&W posters

You're quite welcome Rosa. 
I love B&W photography but when it comes to posters...I generally need me some color.Not to say there aren't any B&W posters I don't like,or wouldn't add to the collection,but military posters are my least favorite genre.That said,I can still find something in their I like..hehe...I guess I really love posters.
I've seen quite a few military posters but there's many I haven't seen.I'm sure there's some more out their I might like.

That "Marnie" sounds promising.I've never seen that one.I might have to make it three I like.

[movieposterodyssey]

Yugoslavian posters are a close second.

Not the greatest,I'll give you that.But I had to have this one.

[erik1925]

Anthony... if it calls to you, that's all that matters. Good you snagged one you had to have.

Thanks Anthony. I do like the military style of the poster  ''Marnie''. It has some character. But I can see your point about colour. That's why I went for the Pop-looking one, it pops    

Apos for the terrible pic. And I do like your Yugoslavian very much!!

Turds, I don't collect turds. 

That's what i said .... Turds... Belgian posters.... Yugoslavian posters.... what's the difference?

I have a dream that one day ALL people will judge ALL movie posters not by the country they were printed in, but by the content of their imagery.

[Steven11788]

military isnt so bad, I have the base version of Destroy all monsters. green and white. Finally got the regular. I have the OS military of Tarantula cause I doubt Ill ever wanna shell out cash for the regular. Funny though cause I seen the military of T go for big bucks twice. I dont do programs and chirashis. Everything is open but mainly OS, B2, and video posters

Well that's a lot of it - crappy imagery or just poorly done on so many, plus I don't like the small size.  It has nothing to do with the country of origin and everything to do with the fact that they up intrinsically suck.

[erik1925]

I'm 1/4 Yugoslavian (now called Slovenian), and I'm with you on this, Holiday; some of the middle European material is just not "up to snuff"... from a purely aesthetic POV (and imho, of course).  

I truly wish some of the Hungarian, Czech, and (overall) Yugoslav and Baltic material was better done (my POV), in many cases.

I, for one, would be all over it, size or not.  

[Mondo Hazardo]

sorry Chris, not cute enough

Ooohh,Nice Rosa! Great call going for the "pop".Very nice indeed.
The B&W version isn't bad at all,really.You're right,there's something about it.Not sure exactly what it is,but it does work.Definitely collectible.

[movieposterodyssey]

Anthony... if it calls to you, that's all that matters. Good you snagged one you had to have. 

Haha,yeah,I guess that's the bottom line,really.Collect what ya love no matter what the genre.Just an added bonus being able to actually own it.

That's it exactly... and a great way to put it.. to know you have a piece of something you really appreciate and can hold and put up on the wall. That's what it's all about.

Yeah,monsters kinda get a pass in my book.
They can look good in B&W, or less than desirable duo tone colors, more so than every other genre.
