[MOPO] Aw: Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
Why would they? It would have been extra work, and as long as there‘s enough storage space, why bother? Throughout the 60s and early 70s, things changed dramatically for the movie industry. With the growing influence of television, many cinemas had to shut down. I figure it was part of that change that the NSS facilities started to clear their warehouses. In Germany, distribution was done by the individual corporations, but things went the same way: During the 70s and 80s pretty much all of them cleared their inventories of old paper stock. Some was saved by collectors, but the vast majority was discarded. It‘s still happening today: I recently stumbled over newspaper article on the web that described how the entire inventory of a Progress Film warehouse had already been delivered to a paper mill, where a guy from the local university discovered and saved it. They are now planning to file it, like a million pieces or what. Progress Film was the exclusively distributor for socialist East-Germany, and the collection was said to contains material from early 1950s until 1990. Gesendet: Sonntag, 18.

Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
My understanding was that when they closed all the Exchanges and ran the company out of Kansas City they Ordered everything earlier than 1953 destroyed. The rest of the posters were shipped back to KC. Of course a lot of the exchange owners that were now out of A job just kept the paper instead of dumping it.

Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
"If the surviving 1945-75 posters didn't originate one way or another from the exchanges, where the he[ck] did they come from" It's important to note that there were numerous private poster services in the US and Canada; some as early as the late 1920's. NSS didn't get into the 'poster' business until the late 1930's and they didn't handle posters for all the different studios as a virtual monopoly until several years after World War II. Among the last studios to come aboard were Columbia and Republic. Even then, NSS continued to sell to the private exchanges for about 15 more years until freezing them out completely. Many pre- 1965 posters that are now in collections came by way of these private poster services. In 1960, when I was 10, I dealt with 4 different poster services just in Oklahoma City alone. The stock in these exchanges (excluding materials made by the "Other Company" or other non-studio printers) was generally acquired by an exchange in four different ways: A. From the studios themselves; or the Litho Companies that had been authorized to sell to exchanges on behalf of a given studio. B. From movie theatres who had purchased materials officially from a studio to cover a release and now no longer needed them. C. From the merger or acquisition of another exchange. D. From NSS as they gradually became dominant and then a monopoly.

Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
Many of them did purge, not only old posters but also 35mm coming attraction trailers which, depending on the title, can be worth quite a bit today. It would break any collector's heart to know of all the great material that was just tossed out as garbage!! Some facilities were more secure than others. I know the one in Paramus, New Jersey was extremely secure. Others were less secure, like the one in Kansas City, MO as I know of at least one collector there who was dumpster diving at that facility.

Todd, Did the NSS exchanges or regional locations have actual printing plants on the premises? Or was the physical printing of the posters done offsite and then sent back to the exchanges, where they were then distributed from?

Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
Not a nerdy question at all. I can't speak for all of the NSS Exchanges but when I had my connection with NSS in the mid to late 1970 and early 1980's, my connection was still able to get posters going back to the 1930's. No Casablanca's or Frankenstein's or other possibe Classic titles, but definitely posters going all the way back to the 1930's.

[MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....
Not sure why this percolated into my brain, but did the NSS Exchanges systematically purge old posters (i.e.10+ years old) so that by the time they shut down in the mid-80s they just didn't have older posters that were not - or could not - have been rescued? I heard an interview explaining that a Canadian exchange one day just tossed out its older posters. I also read that somebody visited the Atlanta (or Miami) exchange and it didn't have any older posters when it shut down.
