I agree...for most posters there has not been any appreciation or increase in
prices for 15 to 20 years at least...don't buy for investment
purpose...actually most of the posters have gone down because of the large
increase of supply and demand has not increased for a lot.
The only people making money are the auction houses with their inflated fees.
You can make more money keeping your money in the bank and getting no interest
rate.

posters?
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
