Glen,

 

That is an interesting question. I am 67 and started collecting in the early 
1960’s when I was about 10 years old. I got most of my items from poster 
services, though I had no real idea what they had or didn’t have. In the early 
years I might just see a movie on TV or in a theatre and send a post card off 
to one of the Services in hopes they had something. 

 

Over the years I have actually given some of them to friends and family and in 
almost all cases they become centerpieces of interest in whichever room they 
are placed.

Subject: [MOPO] What I think while hunting for Wheeler and Woolsey material...

 

I was wondering what the average age of folks on the MOPO list is. I've been 
around the hobby for 20 years now. And it seems most of the people here who 
speak up have been around just long and, sorry, much longer. If the next 20 
years go as fast as the last 20 years I'll be 80 by the time I hit send on this 
email.

 

I've been pondering what would happen to my collection after I'm gone. 
Wondering if it would be better in an institutional setting or scattered to the 
four winds by being in the hands of collectors.

 

So, yeah, that's what I'm thinking as I peruse poster sights looking for more 
Wheeler and Woolsey stuff! LOL!

 

Glenn
