Title: Trying to ID posters
Post by: guest4959 on June 16, 2017, 10:02:59 PM
Hey everyone, new here and looking for some info. I work for a place that buys estates and things like that. Today I ran across some movie posters that I haven't seen before. Maybe someone can give me some info on them.

Doing some research tonight it appears that they are 30 x 40 posters. Unfortunately I didn't measure them as I found them late and I was getting ready to leave for the weekend. At first I though they were some type of one sheet as they are about the same size but they are on heavier stock and are rolled. I did a quick look at them and they have plate numbers on them with the movie name on the side border. On the bottom most have a mark like "litho USA". When I get back in on Monday I'll unroll a couple of them and actually measure them.

If they are 30 x 40's, is there much demand for them compared to one sheets?

The movie title, and condition, are more important than the poster format (30x40, 1 sheet, etc.).  30x40s usually do not command as high of a price as the one sheets.  A good sales database is http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html (http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html)  You can search for past sales of the title of the movie, then click the format, to see what each title in each format sells for.

If you could post some photos that would be great.


 cheers

Thanks for the info. I'll get some pics next week and post them. I took such a quick look at them today that I don't even remember the titles.

I don't believe so. Looked at all of them today and don't remember those titles.

thanks

by the way, if you plan on selling via the board, you'll have to move your thread to Dealers/For Sale

If we decide to do that I will. Just trying to get a handle on what we got in. It appears there is not a lot of value in any of them.

Nice items there, Hank.

What do you mean, when you said above, "feel free to offer options?"

Are you asking for offers?

If so, this thread will be moved to the Collector's F/S thread.

Can't believe no one has mentioned that those are not Jumbo Window Cards, but rather Half Sheets (the 22 x 28s).

Opinions means exactly what it means - a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Mostly 1 sheets, and all are $10 posters.  Must be, as I have a few of them.

Hankster, Jeff was just pointing out that you wrote and were asking for "options".  I didn't know what you meant either, options to sell?  to consign?  to auction?

I was looking for feedback on what I had. If I IDed them correctly, desirability or any other information that might be useful. Yes, that might have even been an opinionated value if offered.

I read the FAQ before posting, if they were ready to sell I would have posted them in the Sell forum. Trying to sell something without knowing about what you have is only an invitation to be taken advantage of.

Maybe APF is more geared towards buying and selling and a post by a newb with posters is assumed that they are looking to sell them right away. If that was the impression I gave I am sorry.

Hank, when you said you were asking for options, I was just asking what you meant by that. Had you said opinions, I would have gotten it.

APF is geared for all, so no harm, no foul. I was just looking for clarification.  :)

I like the looks of the King of the Mountain one. Not a lot of value, may take that one for myself.

Does anyone know of a place to get a decent price on a 30x40 poster frame?
