Movie Posters - Latest Acquisitions / Re: Latest Acquisitions - the ongoing mega thread

Lovely selection, Antoine! The six sheet for The Monolith Monsters is terrific. Well done on getting a good photo of it too, those big ones must be tough to photograph!

As the theatrical experience dwindles and the folks that actually do go to the theater, all they see is digital advertising, there is nothing to relate a poster to the theater experience.  Some people seem to believe as paper advertising disappears it will bring value to the older stuff, i think the exact opposite.  Many collectors found their way into collecting older posters from buying a poster from a film they just saw. When they no longer exist, that bridge collapses as well.  Anything paper I believe you will see a steady decline in value across the board as collectors age out of collecting and younger digital life crowd age with no interest in these things.

This made me a bit sad, Dale. But I do tend to agree. Perhaps there will always be a small group who seek out analogue emphemera, but probably the odd poster or two instead of piles of the stuff. Having said that, it seems like printed posters for new releases are still being produced in relatively healthy quantities? Perhaps the end is not in sight quite yet.

Cool. I really liked The Wraith when it was new and I was a kid.  The futuristic car was awesome, and the regular cars, races, etc. were fun.

Thanks, Neo. I only caught up with the film relatively recently but enjoyed it. Agree - the futuristic car is a great piece of design.

And Antoine -- those Universal posters are outstanding. Your acquisitions never cease to amaze me!

Here are some recent acquisitions, mostly lesser known Universal horror titles from the 1940s (which is one of the subcategories of my poster collection), and a fun 6-sheet for 1957's The Monolith Monsters, with fantastic art by the great Reynold Brown.

Character sheets really seem to be a thing of the past. Large format still gets them occasionally, but one sheet size don't happen too often anymore.

That final ruby slipper price was insanity! Wow.

I am shocked that the Academy museum isn't scooping up those two Oscars!?! Humphrey Bogart's Best Actor Oscar!!! And a Best picture Oscar!?

The Academy usually relies on mega-rich celebrities to buy them and donate them back to the Academy. They have some budget for buying items, but they just don't like dropping half a mil on any of them.

Dealer's ONLY Board: For Sale/Auction/Trade / I DON'T want to tell you about our December Major Auction that is now live!
« Last post by BruceH on December 08, 2024, 09:02:48 AM »
I DON'T want to tell you about our December Major Auction which can be found at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html

I am NOT going to tell you that most of the 1,160 quality posters, lobby cards and more are WAY under where the same or similar items have sold for in the past!

I am NOT going to tell you that LOTS of these are extremely rare and almost never come up for sale or auction (and hundreds we have either never had before or only had once or twice)!

I am NOT going to tell you that we don't have any reserves or buyers premiums, honest condition grading, and unenhanced super-sized images!

I am NOT going to tell you that this is one of the absolute finest selections we have EVER offered at one time, and that people will be talking about this auction for many years to come!

Why? Because I want you to go to the above link and view all these 1,160 items for yourself, because seeing them (and their current bid prices) will sell them far better than anything I can write here!

But please remember that we have "time extended" bidding where 5 minutes must go by without a bid for an auction to end, so you can NEVER have an item "snatched away" from you in the final seconds, as happens so often on eBay and some other auction sites.

Each December, my company, eMoviePoster.com, has a major movie paper auction that is our best of the year. This one is one of our very best EVER, and maybe it is because there are just TOO MANY great items, but as of now there are lots of them with super-low prices.

Many will surely get more bids, but there are also sure to be many that will go for bargain prices, so why not go to the above link now and check them out, even if you are not a "collector" (and they are lots of fun to look at, even if you are only "window shopping")?

Unlike EVERY other major auction, we have NO buyers premiums at all, and we only charge you the actual cost of shipping (plus $4 per tube or box for packing materials), and we combine as many purchases into one package as can be safely done, which saves you LOTS of money.

And remember that we COMPLETELY take the "buyer beware" out of our auctions. When you buy from any other major auction, you are "gambling" (on the condition, on the image being accurate, on the items being well packed, etc, etc).

But in OUR auctions, you not only KNOW for sure that what we write is 100% accurate, but you also know we give a LIFETIME GUARANTEE as to authenticity on what we sell, something NO other major auction does!

P.S. You don't have to have EVER bought a vintage poster to consider buying one of these! Any one of these would make a great holiday gift for your friends and relatives, because EVERYONE has a favorite movie or star, and so many of these are extremely affordable!

PLUS, we have tons of great war, travel and other NON-movie posters, so there make incredible gifts for non-movie fans who would just love a wonderful vintage wall decoration!

If you have not yet registered, go to https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf to sign up (we qualify our bidders, something few auctions do, which means you will always be bidding against real bidders who honor their bids).

And if YOU are somehow not interested in any of these items, but have friends who would be (because they collect items like these or would find just one of interest) then do us (and them!) a favor by helping spread the word to them before these close!
