Not a nerdy question at all.
I can't speak for all of the NSS Exchanges but when I had my connection with NSS in the mid to late 1970 and early 1980's, my connection was still able to get posters going back to the 1930's. No Casablanca's or Frankenstein's or other possibe Classic titles, but definitely posters going all the way back to the 1930's.

I heard an interview explaining that a Canadian exchange one day just tossed out its older posters. I also read that somebody visited the Atlanta (or Miami) exchange and it didn't have any older posters when it shut down. If the surviving 1945-75 posters didn't originate one way or another from the exchanges, where the he[ck] did they come from? -- Mel S.
