I would take my 10 G's (if I had to spend it!) and buy $100,000 worth of stuff everybody hated and nobody wanted. That would guarantee that it would be highly desired in 20 years! Alan

For investment purposes, I would want to buy something that people are still going to remember in 20 years. Therefore, I would not buy stuff like Boston Blackie, The Whistler, or even Hopalong Cassidy. I would not buy silent films. And nothing remotely connected to Mark Twain. Since it seems wise to go with vintage (since they are rare and not forged as often as modern posters), I would put the $10,000 toward one or a few Donald Duck one sheets. Disneyland will still be around in 20 years, and I imagine Donald will still be well-known.
I personally don't have $10,000 lying around, because I spent all my poster money on a trip to Alaska last month. Tom Martin would be proud of me. For anyone interested in the 49th state, here are my vacation pics: http://www.psychedelicbus.org/alaska/

I want to see how you folks would answer this question...
Please read it carefully and throw out the supposition that "you collect what you like and don't worry about appreciation"
If you had $10,000 to invest in posters hoping for maximum possible return in 20 years how would you do it?
I'm also curious to see if there is any form of consensus here on MOPO among the folks who sell for a living rather than a hobby.
have a great weekend,
Glenn T.
