      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.

      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

      ​@@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.

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!

    Another great video. You have a great collection and they are displayed beautifully. I started collecting movie posters in the 1990's when I got promoted and was assigned a large office. I had already been involved in collectibles including comics books since high school in the late mid to late 70's. I decided movie posters would be a great option and all these years later i am still buying movie posters from the 30's to current day. I can't afford the high end posters and don't want repros. I have about 30-40 posters on display at all times but I swap them out every couple of months. keep the videos coming.

      @@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!

    O MY GOD!!! I FEEL you, bro. I began collecting 30s/40s posters in the late 80s. What a delicious hobby it was...I stopped collecting a variety and centered my collecting dollar on 30s/40s big bandleader KAY KYSER (a male). He made 7 features. mainly RKO (they had the best posters. my 2 cents). and what was great was no one else really collected his movie paper. I cleaned up. Since he was a huge star on Radio, films, and live tours, I bought that, too. Ended up writing the first full length biography on him- KAY KYSER- THE OL' PROFESSOR OF SWING! AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN SUPERSTAR. Keep going my friend! Sad they no longer have as many movie paper trade shows. It's online.. Cheers, Steve

I will check out these RKO posters of Kay Kyser - that's a fun era those early 40's RKO

    Really like your channel and the helpful collecting info. Was wondering what you recommend for storage of movie posters that are unframed (portfolio binders, blue print cabinets, etc.)? Trying to find good storage option for these rolled movie posters and regular posters/prints.
    Thanks,

      @themaddogcollection  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!
