Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
I've had some lobbies from the 2000s so I guess still printing.
Re: Buyer Beware!
I recently had an odd experience, where I questioned a seller about the date of their poster.Bruce said:The reason sellers routinely mis-represent posters as to release is partly ignorance, and partly greed. If they make the sale, next-to-none will take returns for mistakes. They say, "you should have done your homework".
They got offended that I asked and said it was my job to work it out (I am paraphrasing - but essentially this is what was implied).
Bottom line is people dont care, either dont know or want maximum $ they can get by misrepresenting.
ebay has become the last resort for purchases these days.
Re: 24 sheet Poster in 6 pieces
I have posted my 24 sheet here from the movie The Alamo. Heritage has called this the holy grail of 24 sheets.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Rare Australian daybill and one sheet poster images for Turtle Beach from 1992.
I wonder if any lobby cards were printed for this film? When were lobby cards discontinued being printed I wonder? Any thoughts?

Re: 24 sheet Poster in 6 pieces
Due to current discussions on 24 sheets billboard posters here on the forum I thought that this image of The Dawn Patrol (1938) poster being displayed that was featured earlier here on this thread was worth a revisit.

Re: FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956), Oversized Photo of 24-Sheet
Todd-AO was a proprietary wide-screen format by the American Optical company. Founded by Mike Todd. Competed in the 50s with Vista vision and Cinemascope.
One reason that we collectors have low interest in 24 sheets is that they are pretty much undisplayable. They are also quite rare for a couple of reasons. First, they were fairly expensive for theater owners to purchase and display. Second by their nature, once used they could not be recycled as they were pasted to billboards.
Smaller sizes were actually rented to theaters by the NSS and were expected to be returned at the end of the run. Thus many entered the collector market in the mid 1970s when the NSS closed their regional warehouses and auctioned off their stock in pallette sized lots.
