Re: Hondo's This And That
Well done Lawrence on getting all those unsolicited comments, I look forward to 2019 too.
Unfortunately there is some misunderstanding, it was not about what you post - it was why you sometimes post. Bumping (bringing it to the top in case some missed it) and cross-posting is considered not forum etiquette here or in most any forum. It was explained privately early on when admin requested that you not do it. Bumping etc simply doesn't allow a forum to grow nor does it encourage others to participate if people keep pushing their old posts to the top - if it is interesting people will keep it bubbling along.
Your posts are well filed and categorised - easily found - so if they are of interest people will engage.
Anyways, it's sad to see the vote icons disappear, they really didn't mean squat, just a little extra for the forum, and a bit of fun.

I dislike that I cannot dislike thisCharlie said:I have now disabled all the negative reaction icons with the exception of "flag" which should only be used to flag inappropriate and abusive behavior. If flag is pushed it could result in the post being placed in the moderation queue.
Re: Hondo's This And That
Sorry bud i think i accidentally gave you about 3 disagrees which i removed.Matt said:I think I have FIVE more Off topic, Disagrees, WTF, Dislike and WTF than you.
Guess what, from over 90% from dickheads that run or use to run this forum.
So go and watch Running On Empty (great Aussie flick) and stand in the far que and grab a cup to collect the yellow river that runs down my back. I love weather but not that kind of weather.1
I use my mobile a lot so its easy to do that (as Chris says)
Lets have a clean up week! Like picking up rubbish from the school yard!

Re: Is the Movie Poster hobby expanding, contracting or Staying the same
You can't look at it in an across-the-board way. Some areas are way up, some way down, some holding steady, etc.
The biggest trend I see is the same it always was, that while true classics of any era generally hold strong, lesser older material tends to decline. You see this most strongly in things like 1940s B-Westerns (people like Eddie Dean or Whip Wilson), where there are almost no people alive who even remember them, and the posters are photographic and uninspiring.
And of course some areas keep defying the naysayers and rise more and more. Just a year after most collectors were shocked by a Jaws one-sheet selling for $1,000, one goes for $3,700 (but admittedly it was rolled and just about perfect). Will it be a $10,000 poster one day?
But here is what I see as the biggest change. Many years ago, it was hard to find ANY old movie paper, so people would "settle" for lesser items (both in terms of content and condition), because they often couldn't find much else.
But NOW, there is so much material out there (obviously at auction, but also from dealers the world over) that hardly anyone sees any reason to settle for a lesser item, when they can surely find something else they want more, and in just a matter of days.
So I am seeing lots of items selling for just a few dollars each that might have sold for much more ten years back. But of course remember that asking prices don't equate to selling prices. Just because dealers were asking $20 each for lots of items that now sell for $1 to $5 each doesn't mean hardly any were ever really selling at $20.

And on the other end, I have never seen a stronger time for top items in nice condition. Looking at recent results it is clear that collectors are willing to go the extra mile and pay record prices for exactly the right items.
