While not from a book on Movie Poster Values, this may in effect have some similarities on the rise & fall of poster values to some extent. (replace word "coin" with "poster"(s).
>From Whitmans U.S. Coin Guide: Prices rise when: (1) The economic trend is inflationary and speculators turn to tangible assets as a hedge, or when the number of collectors increases, while coin supplies remain stationary or decrease through attrition or melting. (2) Dealers replace their stocks of coins only from collectors or other dealers, who expect a profit over what they originally paid. (3) Speculators attempt to influence the market through selective buying. Prices decline when: (1) Changes in collecting habits, or economic conditions, alter demand for coins. (2) Speculators sell in large quantities. (3) Hoards or large holdings are suddenly released and cannot be quickly absorbed by the normal market. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
