yes - star wars is an 8-panel - serious boatload of paper. Only have a few so I manage with 6shts.
As far as my collecting style, I rarely go after any specific genre...I'll collect if I like the film, image, or both. While my interests primarily focus on 3's/6's - if a 1sh has a better image, condition, or backed/not backed, my focus will shift.
I as well used to take heat for collecting large format - not so much anymore. Until 3-5 yrs ago - 3's/6's would close at 50-75% of the hammer of a 1sht - not seeing this much any longer. My opinion here but Kirby's collection of large format is off the chart and will be one of significant importance as time goes on.
Friends and I had a long conversation around the bar at Cinevent in May - they had to come to terms they missed opportunities rejecting large format paper. I thought about the 1shts, lobbies, other posters I passed on too focused on large format and now realize there were missed opportunities by myself, as well.
That's what's great about this hobby - with only a small number of collectors, there's a seriously diverse style of collecting out there. I have friends who won't touch a 1/2 or insert. Others have no interest in lobbies. I've never collected stills but I'm starting to question why.
A couple other 6's I left off the list...
Monolith Monsters
Man who knew too much
