Interesting topic here, I buy what I like. If I really liked the movie, and likewise the poster then when I find it I buy/bid it.
I have been focusing on my Resident Evil collection. Ironically as new as the movies are, they are proving to be difficult to find in a desirable condition. I will never sell them, so the value or future value in my case does not influence my decision to buy.

Now a question for you folks. Have you noticed a trend in value increasing when studios release new movies/sequels of films. For example, do you think the value will go up on Star Wars stuff when the new movie is released later this year? OR the demand for the original Avengers stuff when the sequel releases?
Or when they remake an old movie like Robocop, or Dread, or Total Recall?

Ah well goodnight

Did you get all the Japanese B1s?  They're the ones to collect, imo.  I only got 5 for Apocalypse and Extinction, never got the rest because if I remember correctly, they look liked US OS.  These 5 are different, though.  The two character B1s for Apocalypse are textured.  Quite cool in person.  The undisputed king of B1s himself, Holiday, tried to get them from me on multiple occasions, but I resisted.

no.. such movement is 99% of the time a fallacy

possibly the opposite as shitty sellers all list their stuff and its flooded (I don't know - just thinking out loud).
Like the dead people dealers (listing just after someones death).

These are truths

It depends, if there is a spike in something, it usually is temporary based on current hype and such.

There are cases where there is no upwards trend at all, of course, and there can be a new price floor/ceiling that can stay for several years but this occurrence is very rare.

My money on a higher going rate is on SW when the new film comes out as you mentioned, especially if the film is actually good.
SW stuff (a good portion) is slowly creeping up in general anyway.

I really like these 2. You showed me those once before, and I was jealous then too! I actually favor Apocalypse over the rest of the RE movies. I haven't found the B1s anywhere for sale. We'll I found one, the condition was poor and he wanted more to ship it than the poster was worth IMHO. For that matter I only have US One Sheets, with the exception of 2 bus shelters. One from Apocalypse and one from Extinction. The dealer claimed to have sold the original RE shelter poster about 6 months before I found him. He said it was the Jovovich/Rodriguez. So if you stumble upon these B1s, or wanna point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

[eatbrie]

Apocalypse is BY FAR the best of the 5, if only for that cute brunette from the poster   The fighting sequences are great.

As far as finding these posters, I'm afraid I can't help you.  Bruce sold 2 B2s of Jovovich in 2012, and that's the only time I've seen them.  The two above are amongst my favorite B1s, if only for the texture of the posters.

There are five of them now? I have clearly lost touch...

Same script, filmed five ways.

Paying top Dollar is fine if you have deep pockets like Rich and Sean, but us poor collectors, do have to watch the Pennies...

[iojabba]

I have never sold a poster either, but I recently purchased a large box of about 200 folded 80's and 90's OS with a lot of duplicates. So, we will see. I would rather use the extras for trades.

Where is that picture of my office throwing up posters when you need it.  I don't remember which thread it was in.

Here ya go

Alright, well, what I had first envisioned to be a fun experience really turned out to be a nightmare.  Mainly because trashing posters is not fun to any collector.  I will not recoup my $200, and in retrospect, I should have sent it to the Red Cross.  Another problem is that I am extremely anal and expect modern posters (post 1990) to be in extra mint condition.  I mean, not a flaw.  Well, 99% of these posters did not pass the test.  Plus, I already owned a lot of these titles, and the rest of them were lame, lame movies (Ice Cube, anyone?)  So out the door they go.

This is the outside of my garage, an hour ago.  Did I mention it's about to rain?

Oh well, live and learn, right?  Someone, somewhere, is laughing at me...

That is hard to look at...

What a shot, there, T.

Looks like some nice kindling or wrapping paper was there... 

[Mirosae]

Uhm... it sort of looks more like  T ...paper...and by T I don't mean Thierry!

[eatbrie]

I knew someone who find them   Memories!!!

I love those pictures.

there is nothing wrong with collecting high or low..

who can sight the $500 poster in T's trash pile....

[eatbrie]

I should have taken a picture of me longing on top of the pile smoking a cigar.  That would have been a good one.
