Re: [MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster?? I do !!

[Joseph Bonelli]

And I agree with both Sue and Scott with a nod to JR for his suggestion as well.

 

My first poster was a US insert from the 1954 Warner Bros' release, A STAR IS BORN with Judy Garland. My friend Al in New Orleans offered it to me and I bought it. 

Later I bought a few more posters from-- then his entire collection, which consisted of many US ones, halves and inserts from 50s CinemaScope films. 

Even later I discovered Ebay and  began bidding.  One day I ran across MOPO. 

 

Wonderful hobby filled with interesting folk from all over the world.

 

Love it!

 

Joe

 

PS-- But why did I have to discover those elusive pre-WWII items??? !!!

I'm with you Scott........I have totally enjoyed hearing about everyone's first poster. The little added tidbits about where people bought their posters was fun as I remember so many of those names.

Actually I've enjoyed reading the replies to this question. Sure beats an
endless parade of eBay announcements (no offense meant to you eBay'ers!).

Since many of us in this community are "aging baby-boomers" (don't you just
hate that description?) learning about everyone's "first poster" takes me
back to a different place and time--One with a lot less stress and much
lower poster prices. :)  This "first poster" question does also open up the
discussion about how you got into collecting, even if its not overtly
stated--so what's wrong with that?

I'm surprised at you, JR. :)

Now let's return to those wonderful eBay ads....
