Aloha from Maui...I'm probably one of the youngest collectors on MOPO (I'm 29)
and don't post often because I'm more a sponge for information... learn more
and speak less... that being said.. I've been collecting for about 15 years ..I
am enjoying where the hobby is at..I'm having a heyday
and Aloha from Los Angeles!
Great post, Tait!
You should post more often, with your fresh and upbeat point of view. Spoken
like a true collector!
Enjoy yourself!

There's nothing wrong with this hobby that 100 Tait Maxfeldts couldn't cure!

Well said, Tait. You sound like someone who collects material that you
respond to emotionally and/or intellectually, and that is something that
has no age parameters. There are speculators out there who attempt to
guess the Next Big Trend, there are investors who acquire material and
squirrel
Wait to go, Tait, well said to YOU, Greg.
I especially agree with this:
I think
there are many more guys like you out there, and we older collectors
just don't see you much because we tend to be more insular in our social
circle. This used to be a VERY small hobby, and you saw many of the same
the people who really know what's going on are those who have:
1) been involved long term (decades)
2) are actively involved in buying and selling as a business
3) regularly run sales or auctions
4) go to conventions to make sales
because you need those things in order to gauge what's going on
Dave says: The hobby IS changing and IS expanding in ways that many older
collectors and dealers simply can't see, with a growing cadre of younger,
sophisticated collectors who exist outside the closed world of Mopo, MCW,
Cinevent, Heritage, etc.
Was eMoviePoster.com left off because it slipped
Neither, really. I just wanted to list a single example of each traditional
collector institution: a forum, a collectors' magazine, a convention and an
auction house.
A specific list of all in each category would have been a little ungainly
(though not THAT long a list, really). So I mentioned
Even though you didn't mention us, I will be happy to keep recommending you,
or any of the other dealers who do a great job on all levels.

I like Tait's style! He seems wise beyond his years and is the bread
and butter of what hopefully will be a limitless future for vintage movie
poster collecting!
In terms of expanding the hobby though, I think Bruce and the other
poster titans should somehow find a way to reach the FRIENDS and
