The Art Of Movie Posters Collecting
By William Cole Doggett
Movie posters collecting may not be as popular as stamp collecting but they also can be fun and exciting. It can also be taken seriously to make it profitable. They can either be hanged on walls with tape or preserved in glass frames for posterity.
In the beginning movie posters were meant to be thrown away after theaters have stopped showing a movie. Thrown away movie posters thus become very rare and valuable. Movie posters have their early beginnings in the late 1890s as film was just invented. Since then movie posters have evolved. It has remained with us and has been sustained through out the years.
Collecting these rare and valuable works of art can be full of excitement and fun. Just trying to determine which poster is original can be mind boggling. For the beginner may have his hands full deciphering when and how movies posters were created and produced. Collectors must know how to recognize fraudulent movie posters copies from the real thing.
Caring for your collection of movie posters can also be another task a collector should know. But usually these tips on how to care are easy and commonsensical just like collecting stamps, comic books or cards. M In time your collection might become collectibles rare and valuable. If taking seriously this might earn you dollars you never expected.
To hang on to the whole collectible value of a movie poster would mean never changing the appearance of a poster. When hanging, try to avoid tearing or folding or bending and punching holes on the poster. Do not in all circumstances expose the poster to direct light, sun or otherwise. UV lights can also harm the poster

just as over exposure will harm the human skin. Don’t literally fill the poster with graffiti even at the back. Because marks even at the back can be see in front of the poster and this loses its value.
Care of movie posters can also include on how to rape posters properly to avoid tearing. Do not as much as possible to put tape on the front of a movie poster. If tape you must, use acid free tape and place the tape on the back of the poster. You could also employ the help of professionals for restoration of originals.
If you poster have to be shipped handling it of utmost importance. You have to use poster tubes or bubble envelopes to put in your movie posters. If you have to store your collection of movie posters, store them in a cool dry climate still in plastic bags or tubes or bubble envelopes.
For framing movie posters avoid dry mounting the posters. Using an acid free backing board is recommended. This in a way prevents aging of the posters. Just like in any collection like stamps, comic books, cards and others, care and protection of the collection should be taken seriously. The collection in time would become a source of revenue for some and a source o delight for others. Movie Posters collecting may not be as popular as stamp collecting but they also can be fun and exciting. In the beginning movie Posters were meant to be thrown away after theaters have stopped showing a movie.
