Hello from Oklahoma
« on: August 30, 2014, 06:07:18 PM »
I've always been a big movie guy (I watch 150-200 a year), but I just recently got into posters (I only have 2 at the moment). I've been lurking for a few weeks trying to get a better feel for the hobby, and I thought I might as well go ahead and join. In the past I collected basketball cards, but I'm a little burnt out on that so I decided to transition into posters, so I'm not completely new to collecting (though a 2.5" x 3.5" card is considerably easier to handle/store than a 27"+ X 40"+ poster). I don't really have a real collecting focus as of now, so I just buy what I like. It's my intention to only buy a poster if I really like both the movie, and the poster itself (I'm pretty picky when it comes to both, so I hope that will help to keep my numbers down, but I honestly doubt it will). Anyway, that's about it. I hope to learn a lot more about posters, and I look forward to meeting all of you and hopefully making a few purchases. Thanks for reading!

 hola.gif Hi and welcome. Like you, I too must like film + poster...with rare exceptions. Good luck with keeping your numbers down. My  ''must have '' list keeps growing!

Hope you have fun over here :)

Haha, no I hadn't seen that before. It's crazy how much people love that movie (not that the love is unwarranted).

 welcome1, El Duderino.

Have fun and enjoy the people here. Sounds like you have a method to the madness.. and if it works, will help with those numbers.

What are the 2 posters that have kicked off your new addiction hobby?  ;)

Welcome to the forum, those Base-ball cards sure are easy to store, but don't look as good on the wall.. ;)

I like the sound of your collecting strategy, we'll see how that goes in a few months....
It's more than a Hobby...
