Re: [MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster?? I do !!
And I agree with both Sue and Scott with a nod to JR for his suggestion as well.My first poster was a US insert from the 1954 Warner Bros' release, A STAR IS BORN with Judy Garland. My friend Al in New Orleans offered it to me and I bought it. Later I bought a few more posters from-- then his entire collection, which consisted of many US ones, halves and inserts from 50s CinemaScope films. Even later I discovered Ebay and began bidding. One day I ran across MOPO.

While some theme questions can bear interesting fruit, I'm not quite sure why anyone's first poster would be of much interest to anyone else... unless one is looking to elicit stories about how people got into collecting movie posters in the first place.

[MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster?? I do !!

The First time I even was aware that movie posters were something of interest was when I walked into a book store in Northhampton MA and on the wall was a MY DARLING CLEMENTINE; THAT BEAUTIFUL LITHO WITH HENRY FONDA..GORGEOUS BROWN TONES, AHH! LOVED IT! I had been around posters all my life being raised in a small town movie house (theatre), but, I was young and didn't really care much. However, this was a bit later'; was late 60's early 70's and it got my attention! Anyway, I bought it for $40 bucks and I'm sorry to say I do not have it any longer.THE ALMIGHTY $ GOT TO ME! On the other hand, I sold it for 1% (around that) the going rate today for it..Always kicked myself for not keeping that poster, not because value, but...the absolutely gorgeous graphic.
