I suppose I may be exhibiting an English-speaking bias here. Also, to me movies are Hollywood ( a childhood memory) and so the posters which best reflect that are US ones, although I am occasionally tempted by some of the artwork on Polish posters, for example. To obtain quads for the older movies is also generally a more expensive proposition. As a small-time online dealer mainly of US one-sheets, however, I find all my clients are UK based.

Of course, there are many U.S. collectors who buy non-U.S. items and vice versa, but we are talking overall. Since we auction 2,000 to 3,000 items per week and we ship around 100 packages each day, we certainly have a large enough sample size!

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.
