One of the most famous of all collectors used to do this when he lived in the East and before moving West. Even the inside of cupboards had lobby cards thumb-tacked inside them, and the bathroom had all the Val Lewton one sheets thumb-tacked to the wall ("be careful not to splash around in the bath" was the word of warning there.....

Here are my questions: 1) I see a fair number of the three-sheets and six-sheets where they are currently below the price of the corresponding one-sheet! Is that often the case, and if so, why do you think this happens? 2) I sometimes hear collectors say, "I would buy three-sheets and six-sheets, EXCEPT they are too big for my walls". But many of these same collectors have HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of one-sheets that sit folded up in boxes, and are never displayed. So, if it is going to sit in a box, what difference do they make if they are one-sheets, three-sheets or six-sheets? 3) Some ad campaigns have three-sheets and six-sheets where they are simply "stretched-out" versions of the one-sheets (like Forbidden Planet), but other times the three-sheets and six-sheets have completely different images. I think that when the three-sheets and six-sheets have similar images to the one-sheet they should sell for somewhat more (due to the greater size and rarity), but if they have superior images they should sell for a lot more, and when they have inferior images (like in the case of The Sin of Nora Moran three-sheet, which is nowhere as nice as the one-sheet) they should sell for a lot less.
