Author Topic: What's the most valuable movie poster in your collection? Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-16-2004 02:00 PM                     I had Quentin and Uma sign the poster, when Quentin was showing Uma the final cut of "Kill Bill vol.1" for her OK in my screening room here in NYC.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-16-2004 03:05 PM                       quote: Steve Kraus Rent A Cop. Does anyone remember that one? No, you got me on that one! Not to disparage anyone for doing so, but I never asked celebs for autographs on any show that I was on. I figured they got enough of that from the public, without having to be pestered at work, too.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-16-2004 03:12 PM                     Yeah Rent a Cop, Burt and Liza, hilarious! Heh. I have a Turkish one sheet for Cannonball Run 1, signed by Hal Needham and Adrienne Barbeau.  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-16-2004 03:29 PM                        quote: Bobby Henderson lenticular poster for "Species 2". Got it. quote: Bobby Henderson big "Titanic" teaser banner Got it. A few of the banners that I have are "There's Something About Mary", "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion", "Space Jam" (w/ Bugs Bunny), "Spice World" and a big ass "Finding Nemo. I have a ton of other banners but those are the ones that first come to mind. Are banners worth more than posters? A few other posters that I have that might be worth something are "Good Will Hunting" (style A and also the Oscar style), "Shakespeare in Love", "Life is Beautiful", "Saving Private Ryan"...the list can go on and on. I have a ton of posters that aren't worth anything but I always try to grab posters that I know are going to be Oscar worthy. For instance, I just added "Sideways" to my collection.  |  IP: Logged Fred Georges Master Film Handler Posts: 257 From: Lombard, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2000 posted 12-16-2004 03:53 PM                     I've been a paper collector for years concentrating on Serial Posters. My most valuable are probably "Drums of Fu Manchu" & "King of the Rocket Men". Years ago I "Rescued" a large quantity of original release 8x10 stills from a large theatre chain that had been in operation since the 1920's. They sat gathering dust in my filing cabinet. Recently, I decided to have a broker sell them for Me on eBay. One of the first ones out of the gate brought over $1000.00! To say I was flabbergasted would be an understatment. I Never knew those things could be that valuable.  |  IP: Logged Chris Mosel Film Handler Posts: 74 From: New Braunfels, TX, USA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 12-16-2004 05:43 PM                     I've tried to keep it to series of movies over the years: All 3 Naked Guns (Bet there won't be any more posters with O.J. on them) All 10 Friday the 13th's plus Freddy V Jason All 3 Die Hards All 3 Beverly Hills Cops All Best Picture Winners since 1990  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-16-2004 08:12 PM                     LOTR 1 signed by the main cast + P.J.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 12-16-2004 08:49 PM                    Bill: Kill Bill 1 before or after that last minute change at the end of the final reel?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-16-2004 08:54 PM                     Before the reel change.  |  IP: Logged Adam Fraser Master Film Handler Posts: 499 From: Houghton Lake, MI, USA Registered: Dec 2001 posted 12-16-2004 11:57 PM                        Ben Hur (1959) Re-release Gone With The wind (1959) Re-Release The Pink Panther Billy the Kid, 17 by 41 or whatever the size was (1941) Billy The Kid, 3 lobby cards (1941) A&C Comin Round the Mountain (1951) Another 1951 A&C movie cant think of it off the top of my head She Wore a Yellow Ribbon lobby card Blazing Saddles original And about 1000 unsorted ones of from 70's on up. Billy the Kid posters sit in the lobby as a display and so does she wore a yellow ribbon, A&C are in a poster window that faces outside but they are already in no shape for any collector anyway, but still look alright. The rest just stay in storage.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 12-17-2004 01:12 AM                        Valuable? Tough to judge, since they're all probably worthless. I've got tons of torn, ripped, faded, and utterly uninteresting feature posters. Somewhere. But I know I have a teaser Mission: Impossible signed by Danny Elfman, and I think he signed my To Die For, too. I've got a big banner for Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, which is probably my coolest one, so obviously I have a fairly drab collection. As a joke, I kept the big banner for Ed, that dumb-ass Matt LeBlanc movie about the baseball-playing monkey. Ah, the good stuff!  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 12-17-2004 01:30 AM                     I have the 2 banner set for Xmen 2 so don't feel bad about your collections I also have a complete set of the x2 one sheets (gave away the other 2 we had). I have a myriad of junk posters everywhere from eurotrip to willard and beyond! Coolest banner I have: The Incredibles Promo Item I have that I love the most: SuperTroopers button - Had to trade a poster for it but damnit I have it!  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-17-2004 10:29 AM                        quote: Brian Michael Weidemann big banner for Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas Brian, How much do you want for it? I'm serious.  |  IP: Logged R. Andrew Diercks Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Marion, Iowa (In the middle of everywhere) Registered: May 2003 posted 12-17-2004 10:50 AM                     My favorite is probably Fight Club or Adaptation. Most of mine aren't worth anything yet. Perhaps the first design of the Memento one sheet. A friend of mine worked for Summit and snagged both designs of the one sheet. I only keep them from movies that win awards or I just really like. Occasionally I keep the posters that are cool, even if the movie sucks. I would love to have the original Godfather posters both 1 and 2. I'm sure many of the people here feel the same way.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-17-2004 05:27 PM                        did anyone get the Matrix 2&3 mylar posters? They were cooler than the movies...  |  IP: Logged
