I buy on average 3 posters a day. Some super cheap, some expensive, but that's what I average these days.
What about you guys?

Man, have I really slowed down. I think I might really be on a hiatus. I might have bought four over the last six weeks. I really, really, do believe that the Sig. will be my last hoorah for awhile if I win something over 1k.
I am just about out of frame space without being a total weirdo. I finished a 15 frame section about two weeks ago, and I just received ten more frames this week from HP. I calculate that when I am done that I will have about 55 frames up at the office.
Is that excessive?

Speaking of hiatus - I think you need to update your signature Brian ;)

Done. By the way Chris did you notice my homage to daybills in my Office Collection photos thread? I have had more comments about them than any other poster. Well, except for maybe Barbarella.

It is definitely a challenge if you frame everything. I'm the complete opposite. I don't frame anything. I have my big French frame, I rotate posters in it every 6 months or so. Aside from that, I haven't framed a new poster in 7 years, even since I moved into my house.

I somehow completely missed it!? Great work!

Well my eBay tells me I have won 46 item in the last 60 days. Considering the multiple item lots, winnings from emovie, offline deals, and my local dealer; I can easily say 1 a day or more; not three (but not for want)... But interestingly this may mainly be due to my back being out since April. I use to play golf; 6 to 10 rounds a month. I have had to lay off the golf; will be Feb/March before I can start playing again. Interesting how my golf hiatus has spawned a escalation in my movie poster collection. Probably due to extra time and funds... Once I start playing again this rate will fall...
-
I bought something off eBay last night. I bought a total of 4 posters for $60 5 weeks ago. Other than that I have been sticking to the hiatus.

I hope you guys get off your hiatuses (hiati?) soon, because I have 999 folded one-sheets closing tomorrow night, and it is likely YOUR fault why there are still 314 of them at one dollar (or no bid) and 553 at $3 or less!

Bordering on silly at this point here, Bruce. We all know you are there, no need to hijack yet another thread with more ad copy.
I have slowed down this year for good reason, but its all good.

OK. I thought it was funny, but I will delete the post.

Argh! The delete key has vanished. Someone please delete that post (and any others that offend).
Thanks,

Bruce, for the record I am a big fan of eMovie for several reasons and am a loyal customer (despite not buying much in a year or so). I just think the constant waves of sales talk gets redundant and thus aggravates, especially when its out of place in threads like this...comes across as desperate which annoys...emotions I don't think you want your demographic to feel.
To further my pro-eMovie stance: I recently wore one of my shirts from your auctions in my basketball league and had to have had about 7-8 comments and questions about it, all of which ended in referring a bunch of guys to your site/auctions...so there you go.
-
I don't mind Bruce, or any other dealer slipping in a sales pitch every now and then. I always think of Bruce as a poster selling T1000... Nothing can stop him, he's a relentless selling machine... 8)
-
Oh yes, and not so many posters of late due to other stuff going on. Maybe 6 a month....Maybe.

I agree. The only part that grates me a bit is the 553 at $3 or less. It's like we all don't know how the system works. All those $3 posters will shoot up in price in the last 5 minutes, like they always do.

You forgot the part how they are hovering in the single digit price range because they are the least desirable of that given auction.

I rarely buy from ebay these days - usually only when one of you fine folks tips me off on something you know fits with me. I mostly buy from Rich and Bruce. So, that means on average I but on a couple days of week, at best, because not all that Rich and Bruce sell suits me. And, that's a good thing, because Lord knows I barely keep up as it is!
-
I'm probably selling more than I'm buying at the moment...
...In terms of individual posters I'm buying not nearly as many as you lot!
I genuinely don't mean this in any negative or boastful light, but I'm finding it harder and harder to find posters I don't have these days.
In the last 6 months I've added, I think, only 10 or so posters I did not have in my collection, and that, as a collector of Bond material, is rather frustrating.
-
I buy only a handful per month. The budget, the budget, the budget...
That's a good thing for me or I would have far more posters that I bought because I could rather than because I really wanted.
Plus it's less to heave out the window in the event of fire. wynk
-

I try so hard to stay within the budget.
First year and a half into this party I was buying crap on a blistering pace. I have slowed down the last year and gone into a more defined collecting pattern though I still cant help myself and must feed resulting in sporadic binges. Might be full moon related.

Madness started March 20, 2009, which is 969 days. Currently have 1060 posters and prints, which is 1.1 a day. (I've also given away, sold, or trashed 200-250 but who's counting?)
The pace has slowed down over time but the average price has gone up.
Fortunately, my "top priority want list" - excluding the super-expensive/super-rare stuff I'd like to get but probably won't/can't get - has been steadily shrinking so there is a light at the end of the tunnel:

Probably about 5-6 purchases a month. Sometimes there are multiple posters in a purchase though :)

Only a crackhead would pay $380 for one of those. In a couple of years they'll be going for reasonable prices....

Can I borrow $20 Mel. ;D I was trying to swing a deal for both including the blue one but some guy from a hospital bed beat me to it. Then I could have rested easy. Still got to worry about getting these one day. And I think Holiday snagged the two Japanes DVD/Blu-Ray posters.
With these two, my collection would technically be complete. Minus two Germans, a Foglio, 4F (picked up the 2F, and Locandina a while back), and a Spanish OS all with the Crack Face design. Else I have everything else; even the Blu-Ray poster.
Started working on the lobbies now.
-
Maybe 2 or 3 posters a year for the past few years, but I was getting a boat-load of new material for free. Much lower than my 50+ per year when I was in my prime acquisition phase.
For me to buy something now, I have to love the film, love the poster and get it for a good price because I am a cheap bastard.

You can loan me $20, pal. I'm constantly broke thanks to this hobby.

I didn't think gubment wages where THAT bad.

I have a limit of £100 per month. Most of the posters I'm after don't cost that much which is good, finding them is the hard bit for me. having said that I always seem to go over budget?!?
-

Gov wages are pretty good but not good enough to service a $60 daily poster crack buying habit!
Basically I get a fat paycheck every two weeks which quickly dwindles to nada and it's rice and beans for a few days :)

You need to get married Mel. A doctor or lawyer. You see there are the leftovers after you pay the bills and pad the savings. Then you can split the leftovers (My wife and I split it 66/33; I get the 66. ;D; but she gets the savings - I have no clue how much we have) So Mel, think, you already pay for the bills so you could add half her income to your poster buying power. Think about it. Also think about marrying rich and having no children because kids are like a $1,000 to $1,500 drain each month. You could be competing with T and holiday after that bump in income...
Or get T to hook you up with another animator on the rise... How bought it T?

A double income would be great but most women don't understand the THE INSATIABLE DRIVE to accumulate a mountain of pretty paper:

It doesn't always work this way, Charlie. Some wives don't want to spend a penny of their income on posters. I wish they did, those selfish bitches.

The key is to say you can do what ever you want with your share. I won't complain about what you buy and you can't complain about what I buy. She still complains, but what can she do a deal is a deal. You want to buy frilly purple blouses or fancy $$$ shoes have at it, just don't say anything about my posters or golf habit...
-
So my wife is giving me the large second bedroom in the new house for my poster lair and office. I am going to design and build a custom poster work bench and rack system on the 14' wall. She also got excited when I told her I was going to make a mural on the 15' wall with some of my not so good condition posters. I can't wait!

I think you are correct in seeing it that way.
When you logically think about it. Any dollar "wasted" on posters is afterwards worth more than any dollar spent on shoes but since when did "they" start embracing logic?

I married an engineer, and I'm an engineer so she is quite logical at times. The only time it gets bad is when we disagree on each others logic... :)

How many posters do I buy?
More than I should and less than I want to
-
Reviving this old thread because there are so many new members on APF since 2011 when this thread started. I'm guessing I buy a handful of posters a month at the most these days. I have to really, really like the art/image and I'm leaning ever more toward 1930s and stone lithography, with a few exceptions here and there (e.g. "The Great Thai Poster Summer Bonanza of 2013", and "I've Never Seen That One Before Grabititis"). What about you all? Okie
-
I guess I should answer since I started this thread which I completely forgot about (thanks Okie). It used to be 3 posters a day on average (about 1,000/year), but the pandemic has slowed me down a lot, to like 700/year, so about 2 a day. There is just not much out there these days. Also, I'm really into condition, more so now than ever, and will pass on a lot of sellers I used to buy from in the past.
T
-
I'm like Okie: I only buy a handful of posters a month since I only collect older paper (I don't have any interest in movie posters that came out after the mid-to-late 1980s), with an emphasis on the 1930s through the 1960s. Add to that the fact that I really only collect from a couple of genres (horror and sci-fi mostly, with the occasional film noir thrown in), which further limits the scope of my monthly purchases. As a result, there is not a ton of stuff available out there for me to be buying more posters than I am, which is fine by me since I'm more interested in quality than quantity.
-
So much fun to read posts from 10 years back! I went from plenty of want with not a lot of funds to decent funds and not a lot of want. I am 10+ years behind in cataloguing my collection and with the engineering business time drain, barely get more than a few hour block of time. I have no idea how many I have. I don’t even post most of my new acquisitions. The private commissions get a lot of my attention these days. Plus, I am running out of room. I guess I’m averaging 5-10 a month now. I don’t buy them unless they are new or to fill holes. I attempt not to buy anything of little value and lots. I also can’t stand paying more for a poster than I thinks it’s worth, which seems to be the case at every auction these days. Plus Bruce messing with the weekly T TH S schedule makes me work too hard. I never know when they end or start. Sure he runs a great auction and his customer service is unmatched. Also what is up with these super major auctions with 40 pages. Have they always been 39 pages? It took me probably two hours just to scan through them the other day. Then the ultimate let down that some wahoo will pay 30% more than a poster has ever sold for before makes the chase sour quickly. And I still don’t buy posters from Heritage - photography department is awesome. So yeah 5-10 probably…
-
Sometime back I changed my strategic goals regarding my collection, given the sky rocketing prices of the 40's and 50's vintage posters I used to buy and the fact that none of my family have any interest in the posters themselves or seeing my collection grow. I have been selling some lessor value UK quads, although still hundreds of dollars worth and buying Mexican, Argentinian, Italian and French posters. It is interesting and challenging to find UK/US classic movie posters from the 40's and 50's from these countries and the prices are a fraction of the UK/US equivalent. I buy about 15 posters a month on average although this includes some really cheap low quality Mexican posters that I am trying to preserve (an extension to the hobby) by paper backing them using archival wheat paste - I am experimenting with various backing paper and card (all archival). Anyway in this way I keep my interest in the hobby which is now more time consuming than money consuming.

T: you are the quantity with high quality master! How does he do it folks??? With style, of course!
Antoine: I know we like some of the same posters. I'm glad we don't compete too much!
Charlie: I for one sure wish you could take some quick pictures and post your new acquisitions from time to time! I bet there are some nice ones in there. I hear you, I like feeling I'm getting a poster I like for a good price/deal. Patience is a good thing sometimes, eh?!
Ealing MP: Very cool that you are yourself conserving rare posters. What a valiant effort! That work seems to deserve a gallery showing we could all attend. I promise to bring something better than American individually wrapped cheese slices!
Who else can tell us about their poster buying habit? Okie
-
T: you are the quantity with high quality master! How does he do it folks??? With style, of course!
Hahah I never thought about it as quantity v quality. This is totally irrelevant to me, bc quality is so subjective. What someone thinks is amazing can very well be crap to someone else. No, I just collect what I like, period, regardless of said quantity or quality and regardless of investment value since I'm not collecting to sell. If my collection is worth nothing, so be it.

T, I should have said "high quality condition" when describing your collection! Okie.

Yes, partly yes and yes.
I also enjoy reading the old happy positive posts. Where has the last decade gone?
For various reasons I went from at one point buying roughly 3-5 a week to 2-3 a year. One reason being most of the list that I could afford has been crossed off. Most of what is left on my want list is out of my reach. Nowadays most of my disposable addictive personality collecting money goes towards blu rays and 4ks.
I also have no idea how many I have as I also got distracted by real life and its problems. I have tubes from 8 9 years ago I have not opened yet and no idea what is in them. :-[. Since they only have value to me Im in no rush but one day I will have a tube and flat pack opening party.
Where did I put the three sheets?
-
I don't know how you guys do it. I would stop collecting immediately if my collection was not perfectly organized and filed away. I went away on vacation and made sure that the packages I received the day before were emptied and in the trash. It was about 15 posters and they were immediately filed away. It would drive me nuts to have tubes laying around.

Rich sent me a package with 3 or 4 (not even sure how many now) rolled Star Wars A-Style 1st prints, and every month or so he asks me if I've opened them yet. My answer is always the same: "Soon, when I have time"
-
I’m buying about 10 - 15 a month (including prints). I normally open tubes within 3-4 days, then put the posters away into sleeves to flatten. I then take photographs of the new ones every few months, but I’m about a year behind at the moment (mainly due to life being busy, but also because I’ve had to redo the gallery bit of my website which is taking ages).

For me I just don’t have time. I want to organize but I’ll work from 9-6/7 or so most days or here during the summer I’ll be playing golf with my daughter from 5-8/9… Priorities. Plus it’s fun to rediscover stuff!

I bought a Jedi 3SHT from a guy I really trust and I don’t think I unwrapped it for 6-8 months. Finally, I said “Well maybe we ought to see if it is still in there!”…

Don't take me wrong, family is #1, posters are probably #5. But it only takes 5mn to open a package and put a poster away, so I always do it. I buy something, I enter it in the spreadsheet so I know exactly where it will end up, I receive it, check the spreadsheet, file it, done. On the next one.

Zorba: I looked up 4ks and I found forklift training and small cigars. I'll bite: what is your 4ks? Also, 8-9 year unopened, forgotten content tubes? Can we have the all APF Post Covid poster treasure hunt at your place? Okie
Charlie: Nice patience on waiting to see your Jedi 3 sht! You must be a cool cucumber at golf.
Tob: I bet you may have mentioned it before, though where do you get your poster sleeves? What sleeve material do you use?
Crow: I don't remember how many Star Wars A first prints Richie sent me? Life is good, eh?!

It sounds a bit like me leaving my stuff at HA for months, or some sellers who take months to ship my goodies. I can deal with that. I know it will be coming. But when it gets here, it must be filed. I just hate clutter and shipping tubes.

I am so far behind on opening packages! I used to be so diligent in opening, assessing, photographing and filing away but this pandemic has really sapped my diligence ugh. I suppose it will be exciting when I finally get to them (one day...)
-
Well, the pandemic is nowhere from being done with all these unvaccinated morons, so be ready to postpone opening stuff for a few more years.

Thankfully the relative fully vaccinated rates are a quite high here in Ontario - but of course it's the last 20% that may never be convinced. Maybe "By Christmas" is an attainable packaging opening goal Doh.gif

Yeah, Canada for sure has more responsible humans than the US. All things considered, I still think you might be a little too optimistic about Christmas.

I am 10+ years behind in cataloguing my collection
Thanks for reviving this thread. I don't think I'd seen it before. And I can identify with being 10+ years behind in cataloguing. I'm more like 20+ years behind. Several moves and excessive buying just had me putting off dealing with my posters. Now I'm in a world of hurt as I get ready for yet ANOTHER move. This time, I hope to catalogue my posters as I put them away in drawers (instead of leaving them in tubes as I had for so long) or frame/hang them. There are so many I am discovering as I go through them that I can NOT wait to see hanging on the walls.
-
Before the pandemic, I bought about 20 posters a year, no more.
As well as specific objects (like film magazines, publicity manuals, pressbooks, ... mainly Hammer studios).
This year was not very prolific for me... :(
Only two medium French posters at the beginning of the year, and 3 new posters recently. On all the famous auction websites, prices were exponential and I lost all my bids.
-
How did your. "specific objects" hunting go this year, Anthony? I bought a few objects like poster reference books, props, 1960s pop culture memorabilia... Okie

This year is not the best for specific objects hunting, I miss some objects a little more complicated to find (some Hammer publicity manuals or pressbooks), and I admit being lazy to look for them.
This year I mostly picked up UK 'ABC Film Review' magazines with articles on Hammer movies.
(https://i.postimg.cc/zyPP3NhT/th-31862703839-450x600.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/zyPP3NhT)
I also like the Hammer publicity manuals, they have pretty cool covers, a lot of info (it's often a big block of reading ...) and actors photos.

Some pressbooks are also interesting with a lot of information or small 'games'.
And other objects, which I admit not knowing much about them, and if they are official objects or not (like invitation cards or this napkin for example).

It's hard to find Hammer items (and find relevant info), I'm not British ... :(

Very cool Hammer "specific objects", Anthony! I bet they are great fun to read. You have a nice looking Hammer library it sounds like. Okie
