I have a 3SH of Indiscreet (R37) in the entryway of our house. We love art deco and have this hanging in an alcove across from our deco grandfather clock. Prior to buying this 3SH, we had the 3SH of Model from Montmartre hanging there (1926).
In my office I have the 6SH from The Dark Corner covering one wall. The only other poster in the room is the Style B Dead Reckoning 1SH Regards DBT <http://www.linkedin.com/in/douglasbtaylor> Profile From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Richard Evans Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2011 4:20 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] three sheets Wall space a challenge and like posters having their own space anyway, so only one on the wall. Going to trouble of framing, UV etc, prefer it to be art that works particularly well in that format. Rear Window was up until recently, really like art in that format It lasted very well, but after 10 years needed a change. Replaced with Love in the Afternoon, art works well as a 3 sheet. (Another nice use of a roller blind, but without Evelyn Keyes' size 12s.) Rich mentioned Strangers on a Train recently, insert he has is really good, and I think that title's an excellent example of a 3 sheet. (Seems V rare though, only know of Bruce selling one, and Christies.) Used to have more rolled up on linen. Touch of Evil, nice enough, but art doesn't really justify that size in my opinion. Gun Crazy, (which I bought from Bruce years ago, pre-ebay, had backed and never got on the wall), I regret selling a little, another very good 3 sheet I think. Eye-popping and deliciously trashy. Examples off the top of my head; it doesn't get much better than 3 shts for King Kong and the German 3 shts for M and Metropolis (obviously!). Again for selfish reasons, I'll be happy if the new generation have little interest in this format. And, I'd probably look at getting a frame where they could be circulated easily. PS: I think I should take back my comment about Breakfast at Tiffany's 1 sheets not seriously cooling yet. Noticed on ebay last night that there's something like nine of them up there.

Any size or genre gets "hot" when there are a few wealthy collectors laying out serious money for them. When those serious collectors lose interest and sell out, that area becomes ice cold until some new collectors with deep pockets re-discover that area. Witness expensive cartoon movie posters. Everything goes in cycles. If you wanted to invest, you should look for an area where prices are far lower than they once were, and where they have been depressed for quite a while, as those items could easily suddenly get hot again. Of course I personally advise against buying solely for investment, for, just as with the stock market or real estate market, most "investors" end up buying high and selling low.

IS THIS ONE REASON WHY THREE SHEETS ARE NOT AS POPULAR AS THEY ONCE WERE? titles of one sheets seem to increase in val, while the same title of the 3 sheets seems to not increase in price. who many of you buy 3 sheets in the same way as an insert or half? mbb Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 28 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
