Of course you're right. So I withdraw my emphatic "YES" to Bruce's
question. This isn't the best time ever. But it's a pretty good time
to buy movie posters. So maybe if 30 years ago was the Golden Age of
poster buying then that makes this the Silver Age? ;-)

no it definitely is not the best time ever to find and buy vintage
posters.. Those days are long gone
they were the days of $200 Forbidden Planet posters & $100
Frankenstein lobby cards
however, compared to just 15 years ago, this probably is a better
time.. compared to 20-30-40 years ago?? absolutely not

It is my personal opinion that this is the best time ever to find

reserve auctions every week (some 99 cents, some $1, $10, or $15).
and there are LOTS of "major events" of "better posters", plus
there are at least 100 dealers with bulging inventories, many of
who have all or most of their posters well illustrated on their sites.
There just aren't that many posters (other than the super-scarce
ones that have ALWAYS been very hard to find) that one couldn't
reasonably expect a good opportunity of acquiring over a few months
or a year's time, and there are lots and lots of bargains all over
the Internet, both at auctions and from dealers' sites.
And unlike the pre-Internet days, where you often had to buy off of
a tiny black and white image (sometimes no image at all) you now
can almost always see a giant image of the item you want to buy.
So I ask you, is this the best time ever to find and buy vintage
movie posters?
