Hi, all. This is my first MoPo post.

My very first poster dates me back to the 70s as well. It was a one-sheet
for Ralph Bakshi's Heavy Traffic. I got it when I was a member of my college
film society. I think it was an extra copy we got by accident, otherwise it
would've been returned to the distributor. Either that or it was a spare.
Anyway, still have it, though it's in pretty rough shape. Gotten a better
copy since then.

Hope I did this right. Never posted to a listserv before.

 Great question Michael...of course it may date a few of us... :)

 I'd like to break this down into 2 parts--the 1st poster I ever owned and
 the 1st poster I ever paid for.

 My local movie theatre manager started giving me one-sheets when I was in
 High School writing reviews for the school newspaper. I needed them for
 the credit information when I was writing my reviews, or so I told him!
(I
 hadn't ever heard of a press book at that time, not that my small-town
 theatre would have had one anyway!)

 He gave me the one-sheet for Paper Moon, which I still have today. I
 wanted The Poseidon Adventure but he'd already given it away.

 The first one-sheet I ever PAID for was Summer of '42 which I bought
via
 mail order from Marc Ricci's (sp??) Memory Shop in New York. I think I
paid
 $2.75 for it. Incidentally, Sumer of '42 was the first R-rated movie I
was
 able to see on my own, so buying the poster seemed logical.  Of course
the
 movie is rated PG today.

 My first poster was an insert from Bridge on the River Kwai.  The cost
was
 $5. which I thought was a small fortune. I still have it.   It was about
 1970 at an antique shop in Philly.  That did it for me.  I've been adding
 ever since!

[Saul H. Chapman, Ph.D]

Three 3 Sheets ("Help" "Let It Be" "Hard Day's 
Night") and a one sheet ("Yellow Submarine") all atthe sametime in 
1980. I think they may have come from Jerry Ohlinger's store in NYC. 
After that didn't pursue or think about a poster until 2002 when I inncocently 
just went looking for "Joan of Arc" {Bergman) and "Last Temptation of 
Christ" one sheets. I made the mistake of checking out eBay and got 
snagged ... HARD.

[MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster??

Actually I've enjoyed reading the replies to this question. Sure beats an
endless parade of eBay announcements (no offense meant to you eBay'ers!).

Since many of us in this community are aging baby-boomers (don't you just
hate that description?) learning about everyone's first poster takes me
back to a different place and time--One with a lot less stress and much
lower poster prices. :)  This first poster question does also open up the
discussion about how you got into collecting, even if its not overtly
stated--so what's wrong with that?

I'm surprised at you, JR. :)

Re: [MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster??

[JR]

Scott,

Why are you surprised at me? I said that if what one really wanted was to ask
people about was how they got into poster collecting, why not ask *that*
question, is all. How people got into the hobby is an interesting subject --
and that's what a lot of people have gone on to talk about in the process of
revealing what their first poster was. But just asking for a people to list
what their first poster was -- which was what the question asked -- didn't
strike me as being particularly interesting. If the question had been framed
as how did you start collecting movie posters? my response would have been
completely different... in fact, I would have told my how I got into this
story (again). Perhaps I didn't read between the lines of the original
question. I dunno.

I do think there is a danger to these kind of polling questions if they
start coming fast and furious. You can end up with lots of people jumping on
the bandwagon, each one trying to come up with their own What is ... or
What was... polling question and end up with bunches of replies on such deep
topics as  What is your favorite Madonna video? etc.

But a question like, how did you start collecting movie posters? would be
just fine with me. I too have enjoyed the responses from people who have used
the first poster question as a spring board to actually tell us their
how-I-got-into-this stories.

Re: [MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster??

[Andy Neal]

JR - I think you are being a bit silly to be honest.

It ooks like you are the only one that doesn't care. A whole lot of people
do care and replied to the email. Why are you trying to spoil it for people?
If you don't care then fair enough. I don't care about some things. I
usually find the delete key is the best thing for that rather than interupt
an interesting topic that many have enjoyed.

I for one and I'm sure many agree, that I have enjoyed reading the wide
variation of posters that people consider to be their Gem!

It bring another perspective to the hobby rather than reading the same old
thing every day.

I'm not trying to tell you what your opinions should be, but to say who
cares in a reply just shows a lack of Intelligence not Interest. (I'm not
meaning that horrible way, I'm just trying to point out how it looks)

Andy

Kirby, you're kidding.  No way.  The all-time best Madonna video is
Material Girl.  You're smoking crack again, Mr. arts and culture pundit

strike me as being particularly interesting. If the question had

I do think there is a danger to these kind of polling questions
if they
start coming fast and furious. You can end up with lots of people
jumping on
the bandwagon, each one trying to come up with their own What

What was... polling question and end up with bunches of replies
on such deep
topics as  What is your favorite Madonna video? etc.

But a question like, how did you start collecting movie posters?
would be
just fine with me. I too have enjoyed the responses from people who

the first poster question as a spring board to actually tell us

open up the
discussion about how you got into collecting, even if its not overtly

[MOPO] FIRST POSTER ETC

[Walter Reuben]

.
It seems to me that several of the first posters I 
bought were three sheets for various obscure 50's titles, although one of them 
was a retitling of GLEN OR GLENDA and did have Bela Lugosi's name on it, plus 
two images of Ed Wood. Kirby McDaniel charged me a whopping $8 each, and, 
Kirby, if you have any more of those, I'll be glad to buy the rest of them for 
$8 each as well!

[MOPO] First Poster

[OneSheet]

I'm not certain it's the first poster I ever bought, but it may be, and it's the first poster I remember buying. At the Columbus Cinevent in 1970 I paid $175, for a stone lithograph 1-sheet of Charlie Chaplin's one reel short, CRUEL, CRUEL LOVE. It was Chaplin's eighth film, released March 28, 1914. His first film had been released February 2, 1914, just 52 days earlier. It is the earliest extant Chaplin poster that I know of. (I have seen a stock poster that advertises an earlier short, but that might have been printed at a later date). The poster shows a "pre-tramp" Chaplin, romancing his leading lady. I remember the purchase vividly, because some fellow film buffs, mercilessly ridiculed me for spending so much money for a poster! Why, I could have bought a 16mm print of the film for less money! I still have the poster.

Re: [MOPO] First Poster

[Richard Halegua Comic Art]

Marty

funny story.. In 1966, comic dealer Ken Mitchell asked if there would
ever be a $200 comic book. The following month Howard Rogofsky listed
a Superman #1 for $300. Everyone laughed at him..  The more things
change..

anyway, my first poster was Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, then a lobby
set for Day the Earth Stood Still.. I got them in 1967 when I was 10
from my old friend, the late Mark Carducci - screenwriter of
Pumpkinhead. I don't have them anymore.. sold them by 1970. I also
got two 6 sheets not long after from author Richard Bojarski. They
were Universals!! Invisible Man's Revenge and Dead Man's Eyes
original release. I sold the Invisible poster in 1989 or so to good
ol' Brucie.. But I still have the DME

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

[Joseph Bonelli]

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.

  It seems to me that several of the first posters 
  I bought were three sheets for various obscure 50's titles, although one of 
  them was a retitling of GLEN OR GLENDA and did have Bela Lugosi's name on it, 
  plus two images of Ed Wood. Kirby McDaniel charged me a whopping $8 
  each, and, Kirby, if you have any more of those, I'll be glad to buy the rest 
  of them for $8 each as well!

in the 7 years or so that i have have posted Want Lists

the latest offer in response to my
post for STRANGERS ON A TRAIN insert, a calif dealer (female, who boasted as

someyears ago for $950, and told me she had a folded one for sale.
she asked me to make an offer











i replied that last week a mint one sheet on ebay for 999

699 five months, ago. i, also, stated that at bruce h's auction 2
months, ago that he sold a good condition one for 475, shipping included.
i added that bruce is known for usually getting top dollar for his stuff, and
asked her to quote me a price.











this dealer responded by sayingsomething stupid

My first: 2 lobby cards: from Creature from the Black Lagoon, and The Mole
People, bought from Texas dealer Tanner Miles via his mail order catalogue
circa 1974. I still remember opening the package at age 14, and those 2
lobbies are on the wall of my office as I write this. All of my early
posters came from his mail order catalogues. Them was the days!  2 days ago
I opened a package to find my newest poster. It had been in a frame for
years. And on the back of the card, a blast from the past: 2 ink-stamps from
its previous owners: Tanner Miles and Forrest J. Ackerman. --Tom

I'm sorry to say I do not have it any longer.THE ALMIGHTY $ GOT TO

an
endless parade of eBay announcements (no offense meant to you

Since many of us in this community are "aging baby-boomers" (don't you 
just
hate that description?) learning about everyone's "first poster" takes 
me
back to a different place and time--One with a lot less stress and 
much
lower poster prices. :) This "first poster" question does also 
open up the
discussion about how you got into collecting, even if its not 
overtly
stated--so what's wrong with that?
I'm surprised at you, JR. :)

My first poster was the OS of THE HAUNTING.  Robert
Wise signed it and then later Nelson Gidding who
became my writing mentor.  Igor Edelman linenbacked
it.  He actually didn't want to do it because it
wasn't one of the old stone lithos he usually does,
but when he saw Robert Wise's name on it, he did it.
Three greats touched that poster.

 My first poster was actually free. I know isnt this
 funny. I asked the local
 theater in my hometown in Austria if he could sell
 me some posters. This was
 around 1974. He told me that he needs to send them
 all back but he will look
 around. He gave me one poster, Stanley Kubrick's
 CLockwork Orange. At this
 time, I did not know anything about this movie but I
 loved the artwork. I
 still have it. Unfortunately, this movie theater
 closed many years ago. I
 still love the poster and it is one of better movies
 ever made. I purchased
 many posters from one firm in Germany by mail. It
 was a lot of fun then and
 now. Great topic gang!

Re: [MOPO] Who Cares About Your First Poster??

[JR]

Andy,

Mellow out. Read what is written, not what you think is written. Fact: I did
not change the subject line of this thread to who cares about your first
poster?? I don't know who did that (but I think it may have been Scott B, of
all people...)  If you check my original post on the subject (see below)
you'll see I replied to the original subject of what was your first poster
and left the subject line intact -- and simply offered my personal opinion
that it didn't seem to me that a simple listing of the title of someone's
first poster sounded very interesting. I  still don't think it is, and the
posts which have done nothing more than list their first poster I just don't
find interesting. If you do, that's fine. I certainly did NOT suggest to
people that they should not to respond to the question, just that as phrased
it didn't sound very interesting.

In the same message I then went on to say that stories about how I got into
movie poster collecting -- which would necessarily include my first
poster -- is something I *would* find interesting and that perhaps the
question should have been phrased that way.

But if you choose to conclude that I really don't care what anyone's first
poster was, you're probably right. I never thought about it before now, but
why should I care what anyone's first poster was? What is so interesting about
that as a stand alone fact? Now, the story of how they got into collecting,
that's different.

 JR - I think you are being a bit silly to be honest.

 It ooks like you are the only one that doesn't care. A whole lot of people
 do care and replied to the email. Why are you trying to spoil it for people?
 If you don't care then fair enough. I don't care about some things. I
 usually find the delete key is the best thing for that rather than interupt
 an interesting topic that many have enjoyed.

 I for one and I'm sure many agree, that I have enjoyed reading the wide
 variation of posters that people consider to be their Gem!

 It bring another perspective to the hobby rather than reading the same old
 thing every day.

 I'm not trying to tell you what your opinions should be, but to say who
 cares in a reply just shows a lack of Intelligence not Interest. (I'm not
 meaning that horrible way, I'm just trying to point out how it looks)

 Regards
 Andy

 Scott,

 Why are you surprised at me? I said that if what one really wanted was to
 ask
 people about was how they got into poster collecting, why not ask *that*
 question, is all. How people got into the hobby is an interesting subject --
 and that's what a lot of people have gone on to talk about in the process of
 revealing what their first poster was. But just asking for a people to list
 what their first poster was -- which was what the question asked -- didn't
 strike me as being particularly interesting. If the question had been framed
 as how did you start collecting movie posters? my response would have been
 completely different... in fact, I would have told my how I got into this
 story (again). Perhaps I didn't read between the lines of the original
 question. I dunno.

 I do think there is a danger to these kind of polling questions if they
 start coming fast and furious. You can end up with lots of people jumping on
 the bandwagon, each one trying to come up with their own What is ... or
 What was... polling question and end up with bunches of replies on such
 deep
 topics as  What is your favorite Madonna video? etc.

 But a question like, how did you start collecting movie posters? would be
 just fine with me. I too have enjoyed the responses from people who have
 used
 the first poster question as a spring board to actually tell us their
 how-I-got-into-this stories.
