Why I LOVE Vintage Movie Posters, and Why You Should Collect Them Too 

It's a Stanley Frame Co (out of New York) catalog of their custom theater frames. It's pretty cool, it also shows a bunch of real posters and lobbies inside their frames for display purposes.

Hey, thanks for the kind words man, on here and the other vid. I do really appreciate it! I say definitely get into some animation cels! The Heritage sigantures have so much to chose from, bound to be something that speaks to you! I do enjoy your videos too, you have a great presentation going on, keep building brother!

@@themaddogcollection Thanks, man! Keep building as well. I was always a big Tenchi Muyo fan growing up so I will have to go after a cel one day. I’ve seen those come up from time to time up on Heritage 👍

Thank you brother!

Totally agree! And they were such a beloved genre in the 30s/40s - and the posters show that. I especially love the Tim McCoy posters of the 30s, as well as the Buck Jones posters! But there are so many greats

@@themaddogcollection DO YOU HAVE A 1955 POSTER " THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH " ?

Wayne Enterprises by day and fight crime by night 🤣

Right his sealed SNES game collection is insane every game I grew up with.

​@@williamRRR - Lot of graded games indeed :). Check the videos and articles about the "Wata and Heritage Auctions grading game scandal" (especially from the video game journalist Karl Jobst). The all video will expose the Wata and HA grading fraud by exposing their conflict of interest. A lot of collectors are so annoyed by the bubble fraud and dishonesty in the market. These auctions house know very well the tricks and how to manipulate the market as grading has been there for comics and cards for many years and it works very well. Many collectors find this disgusting and a school-book example of some rogue businessmen and capitalist turning collectible into commodities that they grade, trade, etc. to inflate bubble. Some rich collectors, more oriented on investment, are just fine with that and will go along. Sad story of a rich world.

He probably inherited a bunch of money from his parents, nfts, other garbage.

@@HonkeyKong54 Possibly, I know he got into the sealed video game market early so he obviously made alot of money there as well

That's amazing! Movie posters are my favorite collectible for sure, and they are able to sustain our interest for decades and more! I will try to make some more poster vids! Thanks for watching!

@@themaddogcollection had to scroll past all that hate huh 😂 you a liar n won’t even admit it

Thank you for the support! I will definitely try to make some more content! That's too bad about the damage in shipping - it shouldn't be a common experience but sometimes a symptom of a seller not appreciating / knowing the value of something like this - and it's so sad when a poster is preserved for 50-90 years and then gets damaged in 2022 by a negligent seller... insane, really!

Thank you for the kind comments! I am definitely toying with the idea of a book, even if just a limited run self published book to start! Time will tell!

That's amazing! I love hearing of your collecting passion - and that's a great approach. I am a completest, like you, and have picked little pockets to collect. I agree it's great when you pick a niche that people aren't paying much attention to! As you say, you can clean up! I am doing the same with Joe E Brown. I will check out these RKO posters of Kay Kyser - that's a fun era those early 40's RKO

@@themaddogcollection I love Joe E Brown! I have a beat up window card from WHEN'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

There's a reason Kay Kyser was forgotten, but hey -- great he has at least one fan left! :)

@@DDumbrille Funny, I just saw my first Kay Kyser film last night on TCM... 'You'll Find Out'... it was spectacular! 5 stars, delivering exactly what you need from that type of film... funny, good songs, lots of charisma, fun story with tons of twists... I will highly recommend that one to anyone!

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for watching, Garrett, I'm glad you enjoyed! Sounds like you've had a great run! If you ever feel like discussing poster feel free to reach out to me at gnlwpg@gmail.com . Talk to you then!

Thank you! Yes it really is something, and you meet the most interesting people along the way. There is so much still out there waiting to be found!

@@themaddogcollection I had a chance to buy the Public Enemy window card @13:25 into your video for $150 dollars in 1977, but passed. That was a lot of money for a 19 year old back then. Also turned down a chance to buy the 1949 reissue of the Wizard of Oz insert for $300 2 years later. Still kicking myself...but what can you do. You're fortunate to be able to afford ANY of the posters you have in your amazing collection.

@@themaddogcollection I have only one problem with my poster hobby, and that is owning several theater banners and a 21 sheet billboard style and no mansion with large walls.... On a more serious note, the info you gave about 1930s use of lithography to print posters, the three color passes, etc was something I never knew - plus the film & photos showing the printing process was fascinating. You are certainly right - the colors in these early posters & lobby cards is exquisite. Your use of the poster-selling newspapers was inspired - how I wish they were still published. Myself, I use the internet to get around the world and find things overseas - but it seems to be harder to find things as collectors are holding onto what they have... I think there is less trading/circulation going on than in past years. Wish I could find out the names of major poster collectors so I could contact them directly about certain titles. It appears ebay, emovieposter and Heritage are the few remaining big sellers of posters these days. Again many thanks for your video - my only suggestion: make it longer!

@@DDumbrille Wow! Even the fact that you were offered a Public Enemy window card back then is something! I hear those 30's posters were even harder to come across back then! But that was a lot of money in 77', especially when the exchanges were selling one-sheets for $3 just a few years earlier (though most of the 30's material was gone at that point). Very cool though that you were in the action back then!

@@lawrencebrooks5996 Thank you! And yes the printing process was unreal back then! I'm convinced it's a lost art... I doubt there are many people in this world that would know how to service or even operate equipment like that anymore!

Hey Robert - rolled posters are a tricky one... other than storing them in tubes, I've found that flat 'blueprint' file cabinets are great, though costly. I get a lot of my supplies from Bags Unlimited , for lobby card binders and such. Another option, which I use for half sheets and inserts, is bagging and boarding them, one on each side, which makes it great to flip through. Those are available at Bags Unlimited as well. Hope this helps!
