I think David is the warmest to the figures mentioned so far....
The World population is approx 6.4 Billion I would estimate at least 50,000+ serious and casual collectors. If I had to put a bet on it, I would say more like 100,000. You only have to look on ebay to see how many dealers and the number they are trading in - Their feedback scores are a giveaway. I am certain there are many many collectors (serious and casual) that need to come out of their shell, many won't like using mailing lists or forums, or just may not know about them. I'm not claiming to know something that everyone else doesn't here, this is just my humble opinion and this is purely food for thought. I would be interested in seeing ebays stats on individual original movie poster purchases. This is an interesting link on the CIA website regarding world populations.... http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html Thanks Andy ----Original Message Follows---- From: David Lieberman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] How many poster collectors are there? Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2005 18:41:23 EST I'd say 10,000 at least. Probably more like 20,000, or even much more. Might as well ask how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop. The world will never know.
