Re: How do you determine a realistic retail price when selling posters?
Just a personal anecdote.
I was living near Laramie, Wyoming and noticed that a restaurant/bar was redecorating with a western theme. I had a set of lobby cards for The Man From Laramie, so I offered them to him. His response was that he would be willing to display them if I framed them and donated them.
In another case, a local restaurant wanted to display local sports, so they put out a call in the local paper and got locals to simply donate their old stuff.
I mostly see cheap repros, and expect that not a ton of money goes into these themed decorations. Very niche market for authentic stuff.

Well based on your reasoning and intended audience - there is no realistic way to set a retail price. Sky is the limit and based primarily on your skills as a salesman.

Re: How do you determine a realistic retail price when selling posters?
In the 1980s, Jose Carpio, owner of Cinemonde in San Francisco, felt exactly as you do, and he backed it up with color catalogs (which no one else did) and he took out full page ads in interior decorator magazines.

Re: War Movies Quiz
It is indeed Objective, Burma! If one enlarges the image you will be able to see it is Errol Flynn leading the soldiers.dedeposter said:I'm not good with War films, and I don't think I've ever seen it - but is 451 "Objective Burma 1945? The name came into my head when I saw the image.
This film caused major controversy when it was first released in the UK. with some details regarding this as follows.
Objective, Burma! (1945) a war film directed by Raoul Walsh caused major controversy upon its UK release for Americanizing the Burma campaign, which was primarily fought by British, Indian and commonwealth countries. The film was pulled from British cinemas after one week due to protests. (Turner Classic Movies).
Americanization of the campaign: The film was seen as a national insult in Britain, portraying the campaign as a solely American effort. A line in the script referring to finding ''a few Brits in the area'' caused audiences to walk out in protest.
More problematic at the time of its release was the fact that it implied Burma was liberated entirely by Americans (The Guardian).
The film was re-released in the UK in 1952 with a special prologue to acknowledge the British role in the campaign.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
It's a pity there aren't more surviving Australian films from that era, and their artwork.

(Everyones/Trove)The Pioneers 1926 rare posters. Two lobby cards, and a Everyones advertisement which does give one an idea apart from the film's title of what the film was about.
