With all this discussion about 40x60's, it seems as if any attention
regarding 30x40's has fallen by the wayside. Over the years, I've had too many
customers to count who, after purchasing their first 30x40 became so enamored
with the fact that they were rolled and, unlike 1-sheets from the late
70's back, had no fold marks---that they would ask me to please let them know
as soon as I got in more 30x40's. (Also, their size is much closer to the
size of a one sheet that a 40x60's size). I doubt that there were more
30x40's printed than 40x60's. It's a bit strange, though, how there is
hardly any mention of 30x40's at all. Were the unique designs of 50's Sci-Fi
or
other genres limited primarily to 40x60's? I know of one collector who
has been looking for a 30x40 on Chinatown for the past 10 years...and he'll
continue to search until he finds one.
A one sheet just won't do. He's among a small group of fanatical 30x40
collectors I've met over the years.
In each of there cases, all it took was buying their first 30x40's on one
of their favorite titles and they were hooked. A 40x60 wouldn't do,
either. It had to be a 30x40.
