Re: How I Use AI for My Poster Collection
I read your various posts. Have you bought from my company, eMoviePoster.com? Do you at least use our Auction History database with over two million verified prices?

I also prefer used posters to look like used posters. As I view it, cleaning and restoration should only be applied to extremely valuable posters, or those that are somehow historically important (and scarce!)

Re: What is wrong with our hobby???!
I feel like our hobby is a sleeping giant... One day people are going to wake up and realize that they are paying $$$$ for a copy of Spider-Man 300 (first appearance of venom) when there have been almost 20,000 of them graded just by one company. Basically everyone has one and you could get one at anytime. The irony is that comic collectors use movies to speculate on comic values.
In contrast the most desirable comic in the world is Action Comics No. 1 and there have been only 72 graded by CGC. So maybe 100 copies graded and another 100 hiding?
What are some premium titles that could have a known population around 100 or less...?
And why don’t they sell for six and seven figures... We just haven’t done a good job of making our hobby an attractive investment... People buy comics and cards thinking investment.

Hell even the home theater nerds buy fake posters.
I think we are in a good spot in terms of scarcity. How do we wake people up?

What is wrong with our hobby???!
I have been reading a bunch of comics during the pandemic and got an itch to look at what an x-men no 1 might cost. Well the highest graded copies are close to $100k and the lowest are going for around $1000 (missing pages!)
There are currently 5000+ graded copies... This book is from 1963!

What is wrong with our hobby??? You would think the greatest movies ever with low population posters would match these.

I mean I know we argue the rarity of say Mad Max but even if there are 300 copies out there - that is a drop in the bucket compared to comics. AND the new flock to these art prints (I’m guilt of buying them..)
Wonder if it’s lack of availability in mass quantities make it commercially unattractive. Basically, you can only buy what you see.
I’m stumped. Sports cards too! Mike Trout RC from 2011 sell for $3-4K... They made 20,000 of them...

Re: What do you think about the rising prices of movie posters ?
Bruce said:
Oh ! Sorry, I didn't see the last character was a ")", I would fixed it myself, so I don't bother you with something so simple. I use your website very often, I got a lot of posters and lobby cards from you in the last year
And, now, As I promised last week, I made a simple Windows Program in my spare time so I can check the change in prices. I have only a few movies in the list, but is a start
Some screenshots :
Now I can see some things more clearly. like "fine" posters sometimes only appear at first, maybe they are not so "fine" later on or maybe don't appear in the website again. Cheers !

O.k. you have put me on the spot, I will say if it was mine I would leave it as it exactly as it is untouched.

Re: "Obey your Husband" (Anchor Film, 1928). Fine. Lobby Card
One other fact is that the distributor Anchor Film Distributors, Incorporated were only active between circa 1922 and circa 1929.
Regarding your question about thoughts on cleaning and small restoring I will leave that to the experts in this field to respond to you.
