A lot of poster collectors collect posters from their own country , in my auctions US posters are mainly bought by US buyers , belgian posters mainly by belgian collectors etc ... some people will collect an actor/actress or a genre and may have a special interest in foreign released posters but the general movie poster collector tends to buy the items released in his country ... same goes for a lot of collectible things , like vinyl records , UK collectors will be more after the first UK release of a record , unless they're totally into a band and then they'll want foreign releases with different picture sleeves too ... This is not an exact science , it's like saying germans have no sense of humour or that the dutch would bite a 10 cent coin in two to have 2 coins . filip Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 13:56:36 +0000 From: tommymb...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] European bidders and non-us posters To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU
Thanks for the input, Alan, but from what you say it would appear you are not European and also basing your opinion on very narrow criteria. I really would like as many non-US subscribers as possible to give a view here.

While I do not wish to seem ungrateful, that suggests that if you are a non-US citizen then you buy non -US posters. Does Bruce base that on empirical data or simply geographical assumption? Although UK based I mainly collect US poster formats, with the occasional Daybill or Quad. I would be very interested to hear from other non-US bidders as to whether or not they agree with Bruce's view.
