Reasons why we live Curiosity Inc. Alex can decide on a whim to step into his garage (in socks mind you!) and just go through old Lobby cards and talk about them and crack a few dad jokes. It is far more entertaining than any show on television - the element or just being a real guy and a real family shines through and makes everyone feel so connected - that’s why we all get so excited for a new episode - it’s like having your friends come over for a couple drinks and laughs. And the entire community is so respectful and engaged with each episode and live. Thanks for the great times Curiosity Inc!
I never noticed Dave in the intro before. I love that you pay tribute in your intro to 2 wonderful human beings that raised 2 other wonderful human beings!
Oh, man... I was into it, the art is cool, and I'm a Tarzan fan, but then a Superman The Movie set! and suddenly I'm bereft that you have found a buyer for the whole lot... Waaahhh! A great find, and, hopefully, a great deal for you. Also, the star of the Eroticon film at the end was Lex Barker, who was Tarzan in one of the earlier cards you showed. Cool.
Fully agree. I've never seen it, and I think that's because it is such a weird choice. It didn't good reviews either. Ned Kelly was first generation Australian, whose parents were born in Ireland. Ned, therefore, would have been strongly influenced by his parents accents in his manner of speech. To choose an English actor for the part was completely strange and wrong.
I never missed anything that had to do with Billy Jack. A absolute favorite. Along with Then Came Bronson traveling the highways and byways by motorcycle. ✌
Thanks for sharing these little forays into pop culture history. I had a friend who would randomly come across some really cool items in his job, cleaning out spaces to be renovated and whatnot, and he would bring it around for our group of friends to check out. We developed an appreciation for these things that gave color to our lives. Unfortunately, he is no longer with us. RIP, Dan.
Ned Kelly is a hero here in Australia. Ned Kelly was an Australian bushranger, outlaw, gang leader and freedom fighter. One of the last bushrangers, and by far the most famous, he is best known for wearing a suit of bulletproof armour during his final shootout with the police.
I’m so happy that you found so much that can fund your renovation but I almost cried. Just like the comics. I can’t purchase a one or two items ! Looking forward to the renovations.
Hi Alex When Trigger died Roy Rogers bought another horse and called it Trigger Junior. Great posters the collector of all that's comic's and poster's knew what they doing to preserve them xx
That is quite a collection.... very impressive...and so well curated! A real labor of love. The building project is going to be well on its way to finished in no time. Thank you for all you do, Alex.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Hi Alex, long time watcher, first comment. Im a pipe smoker and collect smokers vintage things. Pipe/smokers cabinets oak/burr walnut brass fittings. Beautiful and well made antiques. But I really want to let you know about "Tagua Nut Bird ashtrays" made in the 1920s/30s. First by Dunhill by the firm YZ. £5.00 to £20.00. But seen them for hundreds. Nice whimsical antiques that I think will increases in price. But like a lot of things, folk need to know about them so they do not go in the bin. Love your channel Alex, Cheers.
Alex, That series of movie posters etc. is a real tribute to the careers of many movie actors, not only the stars but the character actors. "Thanks for the memories."....who said that?.. Some British American "Hopeful". Cheers, Rik Spector
I just can’t get over that such a rare collection (maybe 5 or 6 people in the world may have a collection like this from what I’ve read) and one of those people lives in Alberta Canada! This is a very Hollywood/Americana collection! But that opinion is coming from someone that isn’t a collector and just your average Canadian that’s been watching Alex’s channel for the past year or 2. I just find it amazing this collection showed up in Canada. Well, thinking about it, Alberta IS the most “wild Wild West” part of Canada ... 👍🇨🇦😊
@@nancymontgomery8897 Hi Nancy! Yes, I remember The Second Hundred Years. Somehow I missed the Love American Style Episodes. But my crush didn't really start until I saw him, on stage, in "Together Tonight : Hamilton, Jefferson & Burr" in 1976. It's nice to be able to find some of his appearances on TH-cam although there are a lot that aren't.
Looks like you could set up a whole gallery business just using these posters, and giving you a decent living for some years. Many of these were among the most popular moves of their time, huge movies, huge stars. They need specialist handling, I am sure you'll find it. I used to live in a road that started in the west of London, and gradually moved towards the centre of town. You could watch pieces move along the road, from the junk and bric-a-brac stores in Putney, up through Fulham, into the posher Chelsea antique stores and on into the smarter galleries of Knightbridge and even onto Bond Street, each dealer making their cut until they found the right buyer.
Wow, what a collection. Sadly Alex really does not know what he has in his hands. So many of those are major classics and the start of long carreers for the actors and actresses. Tons of those are cult classics or near cult anyway. The one who collected these had a real eye for value. Everyone saved "John Wayne" stuff back in the day, but a cult film like the trial of Billy Jack got thrown in the trash right after being taken down making these pristine rare cards worth more than hundreds of John Wayne ones. Western comedies like "The Ballad of Cable Hogue" with Stella Stevens were so common no one would think to save those at the time, but now they are likely rare as hens teeth. I am also amazed how Alex will buy these without asking the "organizing principles" and then proceed to scramble them for these videos. I saw famous directors like Howard Hawkes listed on some that might be whole bundles of his films or such. I must say that this collection both comics and movie memorabilia is nearly priceless in the right places and Alex really stumbled into something here. Done right this could fund a whole lot more than his building. If given the opportunity I could spend the rest of my life watching movies just from what I saw in this collection and would actually enjoy the majority of them. Wow, just wow.
Mark Pashia Yep holy god the posters and lobby cards are just incredible and in phenomenal condition. Just insanely collectible so many of these. I'm sure a dealer will make Alex a very attractive offer on the lot.
@Judith Pride Yes, I agree. He knows his limits and has connections so he makes out alright. I am more shocked at some of these things he runs across and buys. He definitely has good fortune at his back and good instincts from doing this for so long.
Why is it sad that he has limited knowledge on this stuff. He can't know everything. But he knows enough that he bought them. No one else did. Also... everyone can marvel over this collection but in the end the deciding factors are going to be how and what people are willing to buy and what they're willing to pay.
WOW!!!! Saturday afternoon at the Capital theater!!! I would walk downtown with my buddy's Frank and Scott and spend our HARD EARNED quarters and dimes and see any one of those movies. We might share a bucket of popcorn for the outrageous price of .25!!!! For the matinee price of .10 (we were outraged when the price went to a quarter) , we got a news reel, a cartoon and the movie, that we thought about all while we mowed lawns, and did odd jobs during the week. I always made sure ALL of my chores were done before I went looking for change for a job well done, from the neighbors, and sometimes my Dad would slip me a quarter on the sly!!! Dad did NOT believe in paying an allowance for work on the farm that had to be done anyway, he got paid once a year for the crops and the whole house had a little change to spend!!!! I kinda felt rich with .50 in my pocket I did not have to earn!!!!! Well after the movie we would go to the 49er for a milk shake or a soda maybe fries to share (if somebody felt like splurging)!!!! Then talk about the movie in low excited tones for a while, then walk home in time for dinner!!!! The fifty's and sixty's were a wonderful time for a dirty faced kid under ten that never wore shoes in the summertime!!!! ;-) What a strangenasty world we live in today!!!!
Childhood memories. 20,000 Leauges Under The Sea, was one of my favorites in the 60's I had the lunch box. You have a great collection. This collection could fund your building project.
I’m so pleased for you guys! Wasn’t sure about all the cowboy comics but the movie posters & lobby cards seem like they’re going to easily pay for themselves plus the comics! Fantastic!
Drool ! - What a collection of movie items! - In my humble opinion,this collection sensibly sold to a collector or at a special auction, will pay for a very large chunk of the new building. Talking to a friend from London(UK),a former collector.- At the higher end on all prices, you could make the investment back 5 or even 10 fold,depending on condition. Please think very carefully about this collection, ideally it should be sold as a job lot, having taken decades to accumulate. Anyway,good luck.
You got a super nice collection of Comics and movie posters, I would not break that collection up that's very valuable collection.. YOU DID HIT THE JACKPOT 💥💥💥
Ned Kelly was an outlaw in Australia. He made armor out of scrap metal. I vaguely remember some of those movies that I watched as afternoon matinees on TV.
This SO reminds me of the Million Dollar Disney Locker. Somewhere along the line, I missed what happened to all that merchandise. I remember wanting to buy just one thing for a souvenir.
The king kong movie posters are pretty cool! I think you will do pretty well with the posters overall. I could see a auction house in hollywood auctioning these off, and maybe doing a tv special with you on it...
I saw lots of these old movies, and I would love to run across a lobby card from Christopher Lee's "Dracula" run. Great find and great video, Alex! Hope it helps a lot with the new build.
6:41 The photo with John Wayne, the "actor" on the right was George Plimpton. He was a Journalist and writer who the book, "Paper Lion : Confessions of a Last String Quarterback.
He also played the one shrink in the movie "Good Will Hunting"...I remember because he used terms like "tomfoolery" and "ballyhoo" and Matt Damon's character wasn't having it.
I would be sitting on some of that stuff!, some of it worth a fortune!. Don't like the big movie poster being folded!, flatten them out!. Well done. Adrian 🍀
Those movie posters are wonderful! I think you will do good on selling them, sure caught my eye. I love the movie "My name is nobody" starring Henry Fonda and Terence Hill. One of my favorite westerns!
even at ten bucks a pop, that's a lot of money. Auction might be the way to go, but find a specialist house that deals in Movie Memorabilia all the time. Kastners is a great place for various items, but you have to use a place people will expect to find and be looking for such items.
Amazing showcase collection of Western movie memrobilla and ephemera... You should really consider Heritage Auctions to sell this collection for you... They specialize in Americana... Well done Alex... Stay safe...👍💕🔥⚾😷
You have some Very collectable posters! There's a businesd in Hollywood that would buy all of these from you at a good price, but the name escapes me. Goggle movie memorabilia collectors. A Bigger grand slam!!
Me too! I don't think Alex even realized who they were and that especially in Europe those two are a beloved part of the childhood of several generations.
You have to watch Billy the Kid Versus Dracula! It was on MeTV a few weeks ago as the Saturday night "horror" feature with Svengoolie! The goofs are hilarious and "Mrs. Olsen" from the coffee commercials is in this one. 😂🦇🤠
Will Reeve had a very embarrassing moment while reporting from home during the lockdown. He was wearing a nice jacket and shirt on top, but on the bottom he was wearing casual shorts, not realizing the camera was positioned low and his shorts were visible! He’s been good-natured about it, but poor guy!
Those 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and any other Disney ones are probably some of the most valuable ones you have. There are Disney fans and aficionados w EXTREMELY deep pockets.
Ned Kelly was a bushranger (outlaw) in Australia in the late 1800's. there have been quite a few movies about him, including -The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906). At over an hour long, this 1906 Australian-made production is thought to be the world's first feature-length narrative movie. The Mick Jagger version (1970) is the worst one made.
Alex you really need to either take your time and research each one of those movie poster/cards and sell them on ebay or find several big auction houses and see what they say. You could get big money for that collection, maybe 6 figures.
I remember almost ALL of those movies and yes the movie cards were held up at the bottom of the posters either in a picture frame of with the little coroner caps.
The movie posters are very interesting. I would love to have a Gabby Hayes poster. In the 50's my brothers, cousins and I had our pictures taken with Gabby Hayes at the drive-in theater in Warsaw, IN. But the pictures got lost in a move. I will be 75 y/o in a few weeks. ☺☺☺
Wow! What a fascinating collection. Those will really make your money back and more. I would love to find a poster from the movie What ever Happened to Baby Jane ,but if I did could probably not afford it. Great collection. Hard to believe one man amassed all that. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Nice! Jessica Lainge was so panned in the King Kong movie. She wasn't realistic enough. But how realistic can you be. Pretty funny and she went on to have some better acting roles.
It would be so cool if found Bullet from Steve McQueen or his last movie 🎥 I think it was called The Hunter. I would have so much fun looking through all that with you. Old movies and music is my thing. Thank you for the great Videos
Good Lord! Raymond Burr (Ironside) in a western. Good ol' New Westminster, B. C. boy. A lot of these have have supporting cast that went on to stardom.
I don't remember seeing such small movie theater lobby posters. In my area they were always much bigger. Alex, just so ya know, the dashboard is gen-yoo-ine leather, not the wheels. So happy you have another great magnet for revenue. Let me know if you find any Gary Cooper posters.
I’m just worried how he’s handling that paper. I’m going to have to stop watching. Love this channel but you do need 2 hands for this. Don’t bend the paper Alex!
@@claireanderson9135 he can't respond to all of them. He would spend all day doing that and get nothing else done. I've seen him respond to them here and there
When I was a kid, I used to watch all the films with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. They were so funny. I thought of them as western version of Laurel and Hardy.

If only you could imagine not having electricity growing up....finally having but no phone (party line) . Seeing these Westerns, I fell in love 😻
I never noticed Dave in the intro before. I love that you pay tribute in your intro to 2 wonderful human beings that raised 2 other wonderful human beings!
It's a tender and loving touch.
I've noticed him before
Lol I'm a cna in a nursing home. One of my residents watches old westerns, exclusively, all day long. She's LOVE one of those John Wayne posters. ❤️
Oh, man... I was into it, the art is cool, and I'm a Tarzan fan, but then a Superman The Movie set! and suddenly I'm bereft that you have found a buyer for the whole lot... Waaahhh!
A great find, and, hopefully, a great deal for you.
Also, the star of the Eroticon film at the end was Lex Barker, who was Tarzan in one of the earlier cards you showed. Cool.
Being Australian, I remember Mick Jagger starring as Ned Kelly. It seemed a weird choice even back then!
I remember the controversy it provoked when Mick was cast. Talk about vitriol in the press
Fraloob extremely weird NOW 😁
It certainly wasn’t the best movie either 😊
🇦🇺
Fully agree. I've never seen it, and I think that's because it is such a weird choice. It didn't good reviews either. Ned Kelly was first generation Australian, whose parents were born in Ireland.

I was a kid but remember it was not a very good movie, acting was rather poor.
It's awesome to watch you work! Thanks for including us on the journey. All the best!
Billy the Kid vs Dracula is a classic and I will die on that hill. Awesome collection there!
"Billy don't be a hero. Don't be a fool with your life."
Billy Jack was an awesome movie
Only ones I would be interested in!
That song was about a young man joining the military and going off to war. "Billy Jack" is about a guy fighting bullies.
I never missed anything that had to do with Billy Jack. A absolute favorite. Along with Then Came Bronson traveling the highways and byways by motorcycle. ✌
@@plynn136 my thoughts exactly!
That was my very first date movie, needless to say that relationship did not last long.
Alex worked in the TV business and he knows exactly what he is doing and how to do it.
Stoked for you, Alex. You brighten up all our lives and deserve the best of luck with the comics and posters! Yay!!
I can so picture a wall of movie cards in a collectors home. These are so cool. Tarzan and the Planet of apes are my favorites!

Ned Kelly was a bushranger (outlaw) in Australia in the late 1800's. there have been quite a few movies about him, including -The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906). At over an hour long, this 1906 Australian-made production is thought to be the world's first feature-length narrative movie.
The Mick Jagger version (1970) is the worst one made.
it was also made in Australia
Not surprising!!!
There is a new movie about Ned Kelly on Stan, it is really bad. They make out that Ned and his family were cross dressers.
Amen.
I enjoyed the Jagger version of the Ned Kelly story. It has a charm to it.
Oh man, I'd love that Oklahoma poster. My fav version of the musical.
Good job. Love your show‼️
the right posters can be worth a mint, been looking online...up to 3 millions for the right trio
I spied a few spaghetti westerns in there. Cult movie fans would be all over those. Anything with Franco Nero is collectible.
Wow thousands of lobby cards that so cool,
Alex you really need to either take your time and research each one of those movie poster/cards and sell them on ebay or find several big auction houses and see what they say. You could get big money for that collection, maybe 6 figures.
FYI , Billy the kid vs Dracula is available on Amazon in either dvd or blu-ray format.:-) Great video, Alex!
Was that John Carradine in the poster?
Nancy Montgomery it was John Carradine as Dracula. Such a cult movie. It was featured on “Svengoolie” not too long ago lol.
@@saralyons3455 Too funny. Thx.
I remember almost ALL of those movies and yes the movie cards were held up at the bottom of the posters either in a picture frame of with the little coroner caps.
The movie posters are very interesting. I would love to have a Gabby Hayes poster. In the 50's my brothers, cousins and I had our pictures taken with Gabby Hayes at the drive-in theater in Warsaw, IN. But the pictures got lost in a move. I will be 75 y/o in a few weeks. ☺☺☺
Wow! What a fascinating collection. Those will really make your money back and more. I would love to find a poster from the movie What ever Happened to Baby Jane ,but if I did could probably not afford it. Great collection. Hard to believe one man amassed all that. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
Nice! Jessica Lainge was so panned in the King Kong movie. She wasn't realistic enough. But how realistic can you be. Pretty funny and she went on to have some better acting roles.
That movie was a stinker, lol.
It would be so cool if found Bullet from Steve McQueen or his last movie 🎥 I think it was called The Hunter. I would have so much fun looking through all that with you. Old movies and music is my thing. Thank you for the great Videos
Good Lord! Raymond Burr (Ironside) in a western. Good ol' New Westminster, B. C. boy. A lot of these have have supporting cast that went on to stardom.
The lobby card collection is amazing, i dream of coming into a collection like that.
The Trial of Billy Jack! I have the music from that film on an old vinyl record. I have never seen the film!
I really like the King Kong pieces. Would love to see more.
Great collection.
2:24 Hannibal liked his cigars even back then.
Wow you have the trial of Billy jack very cool
Trail of Billy Jack!!! OMG must have!!!
I don't remember seeing such small movie theater lobby posters. In my area they were always much bigger. Alex, just so ya know, the dashboard is gen-yoo-ine leather, not the wheels. So happy you have another great magnet for revenue. Let me know if you find any Gary Cooper posters.
This would be better if you put the phone on a tripod and used two hands to sort through the items.
Get a Go Pro on a headband. I’ve seen others do it. Professional looking and you can use both hands
I’m just worried how he’s handling that paper. I’m going to have to stop watching. Love this channel but you do need 2 hands for this. Don’t bend the paper Alex!
I agree. Watching him randomly one hand bend everything was driving me nuts throughout the video. Condition is everything with paper products.
I see these same comments on every video and completely agree! Alex never seems to respond or just doesn't care...
@@claireanderson9135 he can't respond to all of them. He would spend all day doing that and get nothing else done. I've seen him respond to them here and there
Let the word get out, let the offers come in and good luck. I know you 'll do the right thing.
Mick Jagger played the Irish/ Australian Bush Ranger Ned Kelly, an Australian movie in 1970, he wasn’t too bad actually! Interesting casting! 👍🇦🇺🦘
Roy Rodgers was my mom’s favorite. She passed in 2008.
When I was a kid, I used to watch all the films with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. They were so funny. I thought of them as western version of Laurel and Hardy.
Saaaame! So many hours spend laughing with my sister and my dad watching their movies.
That is a fantastic collection.
