Grey -
That is one gorgeous poster!
The color saturation is mesmerizing.
With a poster like that you don’t even need any other posters to have a great
collection!
Remember those Mint Godzilla A and B 3-sheets I sent your way!

The first time vintage movie posters caught my eye was in the summer of 1967
when my father brought me and my sister out to LA by plane. I was crazy about
film. I recall we stayed at a motel on Hollywood Blvd as in those days you

Up to 427 cases in NJ as of today. Huge jumps every day. None - so far -

Worried for our pets.
Please take care of yourselves and those around you.

So, the reason I knew it was my Singin' in the Rain one sheet is that it was
rolled and I had never seen one. It was obtained from the MGM auction back in
the 70's. It had come with some other posters out of the Art Directors
office. It had some crinkles so I had it linenbacked. I had it for
I was 12 or 13 and obsessed with finding movie posters for my room. I actually wrote to American International Pictures asking if I could buy directly from them. They sent back a postcard with John Ashley's picture. Not what I was looking for.

Great story, Ira.
What years were you at Fox?
What grabbed me was Sue looked at your poster and said it used to belong to her.
I cleaned out a 1950’s insert and half sheet warehouse nearly 50 years ago.

I find it ironic that for years, searching for the perfect movie paper was a
regular part of my life.
NOW I find I'm still searching for paper even more aggressively--but this time
it's toilet paper.
Be safe all, especially the long-timers in the poster collecting arena!

Okay -
We’ve got all this time -
We’ve got this great forum.
Let’s crank it up a bit.
Every one of us has a story about the first poster we ever scored and changed
our life.

This may be a silly question, but is there an easy way to distinguish between
originals and repro stills, in most cases?

The short answer is, you need 20 years of practice (at least) and even
then, there are giant disagreements. There are a LOT of sellers who
(knowingly or unknowingly) sell non-originals as originals.
"Repros" in the sense of being on Kodak paper are easy to tell. The problem
is with "re-strikes"

If you want to take a trip to West Plains, I can put you to work
immediately on stills, not just alphabetizing them, but also separating
originals from repros, and good ones from bad ones, and putting ones from
the same titles together.
People keep sending me massively jumbled stills, with
20 matches
