Two Cents from a collector: I’m not sure that paper will die. I think the surge of fakes from overseas and ability to accurately copy modern posters will do more damage than collector sentiment for older films. I’ve pretty much stopped buying modern big titles - I think a lot of people with

Hi John..I think there is some interest in Monroe Wayne and 50’s sci fi ..heritage had an entire auction of Wayne’s stuff( not sure if posters were in that auction) ..part of the problem is they are not rare, for the most parts and therefor ,excluding auction anomalies , are not likely to accrue

I think we are seeing the final wave before the crash. Gen-x is the last of the paper collectors, once we dump look for market free fall. Yes the top 5% of titles will always sell, but the collection sizes will number 5 not 50/500/5000 like they do now. Different mentality, well documented.

Here are a few more for you that have been pretty good investments for collectors: Mad Max orange Australian one sheet: In 2005 I sold one for $800.00. A couple of months ago I sold another one for $8000.00 that's a fairly significant increase. Mad Max mauve one sheets and daybills have shown

I am not going to list any titles but I can say that certain genres do seem to be a bit more popular and pulling bigger prices in the twenty-five or so years I've been paying attention. I collect less mainstream and more cult/art/(s)exploitation paper and I think there is some truth to a new

I think what Helmut is alluding to is what Grey calls an auction anomaly ..ie. A bidding war which may take a poster way beyond its performance in a number of past auctions ..obviously these are the exceptions not the rules ..dealers should always be concerned with valuations with expectations

Rich I think it is a case of collectors tastes changing and evolving over the years. There are plenty of examples of posters that have increased massively in value over the last 15 years or so. However, some of the posters that were considered high value years ago have decreased in value
