Welcome to my Movie Poster Collection!

Purpose

There is no real purpose other than to share my poster collection with anyone who might be interested in looking at movie posters. I'm not a seller so none of the posters are necessarily for sale. I say 'necessarily' because you never say never if some 'offer I can't refuse' type comes along.

Collecting Background

The event that gave me the collecting itch happened back in 1980 when I discovered James Bond reissue posters at a local comic book shop. I immediately purchased 'Dr. No', 'Goldfinger' and 'Diamonds are Forever'. In the early days, I was only interested in collecting posters from my favorite movies. But that quickly changed when I found a movie memorabilia shop called 'Stage and Screen' owned by Guy Steele near downtown Dallas Texas. That store became my main poster source until 1999 when I discovered Ebay. The selection, availability and convenience of Ebay allowed for quick acquisition of posters at reasonable prices. So as a result, my collection has grown to almost 800.

Collection Specialty

The emphasis of this collection is on 60s - 80s, crossing all genres. I grew up in the 60s so it makes sense that it would be my favorite decade. Obviously, there is a heavy nostalgic motivation to this type of collecting. Regarding poster types, one sheets (41x27) and inserts (14x36) are the only sizes I collect, with 90% being one sheets. The majority are U.S. with some international and Australian one sheets sprinkled in.
