Hi Glenn - great question! I got my first posters in high school, mainly vintage Cagney one sheets - Yankee Doodle Dandy, Man of 1000 Faces, Great Guy, Captains of the Clouds, and more. I paid $8 each and thought I was being robbed. That was the early 70s. In the next several years my collection grew very large. I was one of the founding members of MOPO and I wrote a large part of the original FAQ. I’ve since sold off most of it, but still have many favorite pieces. I’ll be 65 in March, and I agree that many of our members are experienced! Thanks, MIchael Danese
