Hi, being rained away last Sunday on a book market I picked up a 30's postcard
album. Usually I don't go for this sort of thing, but it was raining heavily
and the album was on the stand next to ours. It's a nice assortment of American
and German stars and movies with quite a lot of Dietrich and
I've had a lot of these over the years (but no Betty Boop!) and they come
from every country and it looks like they mainly were super popular in the
1920s and 1930s.
I have sold them for a few dollars each mostly.

I don't think I truly ever regretted selling a poster- maybe I have a little
dealer in me. Most of the times I sell posters to trade up to something I
really want, so I'll gather a few lesser posters and help snag that holy grail.
Both Bruce and Grey have helped me with my quests and now I ha
As some of you will know, I collect Saul Bass material but missed out on the
Christies auction in 2001 that sold camera-ready art for the Bunny lake Is

still bugs me.
More recently, I missed out on a mis-listed Anatom
In 1985, I was broke and so I sold the 1916 French 94 x 63" poster for
Louis Feuillade's LES VAMPIRES. Only known copy, very specialized and very
wonderful. I knew the person who bought it, who actually now lives about a
mile from me and still has it. I was never able to get it back from him,

"what I didn’t like was the bunches of posters in the closets, never being
displayed, basically being collected without a sense of purpose in life"
I feel exactly the same way. Posters should be seen not hidden away in some
"Ark of the Covenant" government warehouse. There are so many films ou
Likewise, I've trimmed down a lot, aiming to own just those I display.
No huge regrets, but wish I hadn't sold my Bond quads, FRWL standard and
premiere, and Goldfinger.
Not then anyway, I'd far rather be selling them now.
In a sense I regret selling my Out of the Past 1 sht, but after wanting one

We saw our "Gilda" poster hung on a wall every day for many years and never
ceased to be awestruck by its beauty. It's just a knockout poster in person,
so rich with black, deep red, green and purple colors, with no fading issues at
all. When we bought it, we thought we'd never part with i
