Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 23:19:59 -0500 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.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
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.

Probably a stack of Universal daybills when I was 11 (in 1961) The guy at U-I ad sales in Sydney gave them to me and said, and don't come back, advice I never took. The guys at Paramount were much nicer and the guy at BEF was terrific.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
My first poster was from a man in California by the name of John Cawley Jr. He used to publish a magazine called "Private Screenings" in the early 1970's. I believe he worked at Walt Disney Studio's in the animation department. He had an ad in his publicationfor a James Bond 1965 re-release one sheetof "Dr. No "From Russia With Love" (double bill) for only $6.00I was not aware of theway the poster lookedso I wrote to him and he kindly sent me an8 x 10 color photograph of it. He said he took photo's of all his posters and had 8 x 10's made.I can't believe Mr. Cawley was so kind for only a $6.00 sale. Anyway I bought the one sheet and it is displayed to this day on my closet door in a silver neilsen frame. In December I bought the 1965 insert as a companion to celebrate my 40 yearsof being a 007 collector. --Tom Pennock Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
I actually already wrore about my first poster...the one sheet from MACABRE I bought...but I then started buying tons of stuff from Theater Poster Exchange back in 1964. Lobby sets were $2.50, one sheets 75 cents, half sheets inserts were either 50 or 75 cents. All prices were the same , regardless of the title. I had lots of major 50s sc-fi/horror title in a little trunk in my bedroom. (Unfortunately, I sold most of it off in the mid-to-late 1980s...just before the prices exploded!) I met a great guy named Malcolm Willits in Hollywood during a family vacation, and he was very supportive in my interest in cinema material (my parents just thought I was nuts!) He sold me a DEVIL COMMANDS one sheet for five bucks, and lots of other wonderful material in his store. In 1964/65, he turned me onto someone who had original Universal material for sale. The prices were outrageous!!! Why, they wanted as much as fifty bucks for stuff from BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE WOLF MAN! I tried to borrow the money from my Dad to buy some of the material, but he just said absolutely not and tried to get me interested in collecting something more normal...like..stamps or coins. Bo-o-oring! Boy, if I just had a time machine to take me back to Hollywood Blvd in 1964, I'd pony up that fifty bucks fearlessly , come back to 2006, sell the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN poster, and buy my Dad a nice house. That'll show him! The hobby has certainly changed price-wise in the last 40 years, but it's remarkably similar in many ways!

Re: [MOPO] What was your very first poster?
A lot of leading theme questions lately. Is it a virus or what? 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. In which case, why not ask that question? -- JR Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
