Thanks Stew... Any chance you have a list of reliable Ebay sellers? (U.S.)
I'm looking for certain posters for my theater room, and can't find them on any sites I know.
Hi Mike, good to see you over here.
I think you need to understand the mechanics of new poster distribution. Studios distribute to the theaters. Theaters give posters to employees as perks (or sometimes sell to dealers). The employees sell to dealers, or retail in places like craigslist. The material is then in the hands of collectors, and will turn up when someone wants to thin collections, or is getting out entirely.
The best time to find a new poster is right when it is released, or right when the advance poster expires. A couple of months later, it is in the hands of a collector, and then yoiu need to wait until it becomes available. The dealers of newer stuff tend to turn the popular stock over very quickly.
So, look at the theater. If it is gone, look on C4raigslist. If not there, try eBay from reliable sellers (hints on bootlegs is elsewhere on this board). If you still haven't had luck, the only real choice is to set watchlists on emovieposter, Heritage Auctions and eBay, and then be patient.
