of all the ridiculous posts I see people make about collectibles in general, and movie posters in particular, this one was an absolute laugh. Pay attention folks: as far as 'investments' go, movie posters has, sadly, shown itself to be among the least best candidates for a place to invest mone

100% Tommy if it isn't going up in price, it's not an investment now I can understand saying "the investment in yourself" as clearly we buy posters for personal enjoyment, so the $3000 I paid for a super-sharp Murder My Sweet one sheet in 2001 and have framed at home was an investment in my e

Well..as a collector, I couldn't be happier that prices have stalled out. In 50 years I have never bought a poster as an investment, unless I found an incredible deal that could help me roll it over into something I wanted.
