Re: [MOPO] Famous Posters of Filmland Link
I agree. Looks Scary in that they will fool a lot of people and might affect future value of originals.

[MOPO] My Parents Have a Lot of Stuff in Their House. I Don't Want Most of It.
Even though movie posters are not mentioned - this feels relatable. To me this essay - (which appeared this week) - has more to do with the theme of how kids look at objects differently in the digital age - than what continues to interest us as kids who eventually become geriatrics , e.g., how the notion that what we pass down will have $$$ value for our kids - is often misplaced, if not outright wrong - (vs. value which is intensely sentimental to us - but a little less so for people who inherit them - vs. the kids or adults outside the family who DO have a genuine interest in them as collectibles). It's why estate planning is better addressed now vs. when everyone is in a rush. My wife right now is prepping the liquidation of another friend's estate - before she passes. Her friend is in a rush for reasons beyond her control. Her friend had plenty of time to do this but kept putting it off. Unlike my wife, her friend is in her 90s and terminally ill - while her friend's husband - unexpectedly passed away last month - who "everyone thought" - would outlive everyone. The liquidation process before death - has now been unexpectedly accelerated - at hyperspeed. And no one feels good about it. No one feels relaxed racing against a clock with a known draining battery that will definitely end - even though no one knows EXACTLY the day it will happen. - d. = My Parents Have a Lot of Stuff in Their House. I Don't Want Most of It. Many of us have belongings that meant a lot to our parents and grandparents. How do we decide what to keep — and what to throw away? [https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/6100/0NsHa4.jpg?trnonsuspmrk=1] By Allison Pohle - Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023 9:00 pm ET - WALL STREET JOURNAL On a recent visit to my parents' house, I took a closer look at six Beanie Babies that long took up a spot in my childhood bedroom. Unlike my other Beanie Babies, these six, including a special-edition Princess Diana bear, weren't played with. My grandma urged me to take the utmost care with them, for they would be "collectors' items" one day. If only she were right. My parents' house is filled with no shortage of things my grandma mistakenly considered to have collectors'-item potential: Precious Moments figurines, special-edition Barbie dolls, Welch's glass jelly jars, even some McDonald's toys. My grandma, the fifth of six children who told us she had two dresses as a child, also had collections of her own, the most notable being dozens of small, cartoonish glass ducks. My grandma died several years ago, and unfortunately, none of her investment hopes have come true. When it came time for our family to go through her things, all of that stuff — the ducks, the figurines, the old china — became just that: stuff. A difficult question By now, it is common knowledge that millennials like me don't want the old furniture, china or trinkets that we could inherit when our relatives die, or are offered to us as our parents downsize. In general, we want to experience the world, but not have physical items signifying it. As I've watched my parents navigate their own parents' deaths, and have observed the sheer number of physical items to sort through, I wondered: "How do we millennials know what to throw away and what to save?" Home organizers, financial planners and consignment shops tell me it's a conversation they have with clients every day. They say, though awkward, it is better to have open and honest conversations about estate planning when you can, rather than trying to navigate doing so in the anguish or time crunch after a family member dies. My other grandma collected Hummels, the porcelain figurines popularized in Germany. Some of her giant collection came from her own mother, who grew up there. When my grandma died, my aunt took many of the Hummels. My brother, sister and I each took one. I also took one of my grandma's ducks. But, even though I have spent the past decade living in apartments with a limited amount of space, I did have some guilt about not wanting more of her things. Was I somehow disrespecting her memory, and our connection, by rejecting the things that were important to her? Many people feel responsibility to care for items because they were important to someone else, says Mindy Godding, president of the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals. Some of my friends have china plates sitting in cabinets, while others have boxes of ornaments their parents collected on their behalf. I asked my parents about their own senses of responsibility. The basement in my childhood home is filled with things from my grandparents and from me and my siblings when we were younger. My dad says they keep them out of guilt or sentimentality. But going through the loss of his own parents - has changed how my dad thinks about the things he will leave behind: "What I'm trying to do, isn't to burden you with
