Alan - You make a wonderful point along the lines as I was thinking. I've had several rare opportunities in my life getting to see outside collections in person. 1) Ron Borst's amazing horror posters. 2) The rare recordings collection at the Smithsonian when I was in high school. 3) Louis

Re: [MOPO] What I think while hunting for Wheeler and Woolsey material...

Nice thread - great to see some spirited conversation on the subject. I started collecting 1950’s sci-fi posters in 1957 at the age of 9. My whole collection came out of the trash and I’ve lived my entire adult life off those wonderful trashures (new word?). My book SCI-FI AND HORROR MOVIE

Phillip - That's so cool. I, too, have given posters as gifts and I never get over how thrilled friends are to get an "actual movie poster" as a gift. Though, interestingly while they display the poster, they've never been bitten by the bug. Maybe they see how much a CASABLANCA poster costs!

Re: [MOPO] What I think while hunting for Wheeler and Woolsey material...

Glen, That is an interesting question. I am 67 and started collecting in the early 1960’s when I was about 10 years old. I got most of my items from poster services, though I had no real idea what they had or didn’t have. In the early years I might just see a movie on TV or in a theatre and

Thanks, Michael! Sounds like you had some great pieces early on. Makes you wonder if younger people today have been priced out of the hobby at this point. Glenn On Tue, Oct 15, 2019 at 4:57 PM Michael Danes wrote: > Hi Glenn - great question! I got my first posters in high school, mainly >

Re: [MOPO] What I think while hunting for Wheeler and Woolsey material...

Hi Glenn - great question! I got my first posters in high school, mainly vintage Cagney one sheets - Yankee Doodle Dandy, Man of 1000 Faces, Great Guy, Captains of the Clouds, and more. I paid $8 each and thought I was being robbed. That was the early 70s. In the next several years my

[MOPO] What I think while hunting for Wheeler and Woolsey material...

I was wondering what the average age of folks on the MOPO list is. I've been around the hobby for 20 years now. And it seems most of the people here who speak up have been around just long and, sorry, much longer. If the next 20 years go as fast as the last 20 years I'll be 80 by the time I hit
