I realize that the value of posters is set generally by the consumer
marketplace in large measure, and can be affected as well by speculation and
trends. It is my opinion, and I don't know how to verify it, that super high
end items like King Kong, Frankenstein, and Dracula, not only bring very high
prices for original release material, but generate high prices across the whole
range of different sizes for most of their re-release posters. Even somewhat
lesser titles like Ghost of Frankenstein or A&C meet Frankenstein sell well on
re-release.
On the other hand, and putting aside films where maybe there is one very iconic
size and image (say the one sheet for Gilda), it seems to me that re-release
material from films where any original paper commands high prices, like Robin
Hood, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Flash Gordon or It Happened One
Night, seem to drop off much more dramatically from the prices that original
release material brings. Anyone have an opinion to share? Thanks
