Just wondering what everyone's opinion is with regard to Trade Ads? Are they just bit's of paper from a Magazine (well yes ), or are they worth collecting, or even worth any money?
I don't collect them myself, but a couple of years ago I bought a film lot at a local Auction and there was quite a few in it. I know they often they turn up on the Bay, but does anyone buy them?
Here's a couple I took pics of...

First, that DD ad is awesome! happy1 Second, I'd buy some if they showed a rare or unpublished poster, like the Lugosi FRANKENSTEIN
-
I did toy with the idea of framing that one, but never got around to it. There is some quite rare stuff in the box, but I can't get it out of my head they are just from a Magazine!

Paul,excellent as always..your maybe gonna fall short of making your first million off them but they would have some value i would think,they would be perfect for framing and hanging in smaller rooms. thumbup

I don't think I'm going to make a Million ever due to buying posters, and playing with cars. Though I must say there is some excellent info to be obtained from these, as there are dates, and places for a films release. As we all know dating some U.K. posters is a nightmare, so very useful.

Shit, I misread the title. I thought it said Trade Adz :) and was wondering who in his/her right mind, would want to trade the little schmuck. He's a keeper.

I think some of them are fantastic, although I think some sellers tend to over value what they have.
These are the only ones I have, both with art by Alberto Vargas:

A nice trade ad from Universal's 1932 Exhibitor book, for The Invisible Man, touting Karloff as the star of the film:

Cool TV Guide ad, Ted. thumbup
A great close up of Glenn Strange. It's always curious when ads like this are put together for the original FRANKENSTEIN with Karloff, yet his image isn't used.
-
I wonder if Strange's PR agent had anything to do with it... mesmrized

I really like trade ads. The images are often better than the posters. I have actually had a few linen backed and they look great. I have one displayed in my home ...
