WELCOME OUR NEW DEALER

PosterWorld - Paul Hein's first encounter with movie posters as collectibles came in 1975 through a friend. He caught the collecting bug and became a collector/dealer in Atlanta, where Posterworld was born. Paul has since moved to New Jersey and has been operating Posterworld strictly as a mail order business offering all sizes of movie paper up to and including three sheets, primarily for films released during the period 1940-1975. Horror and Sci-Fi titles from the 1950's and 1960's are Posterworld specialties. Paul is adding his inventory to the Movie Poster Data Base. To learn more about Paul and his inventory, click on his Meet the Dealers page.

NOTE: These figures only represent visitors to the reference section of the website; our stats program does not track visitors that go directly into the Movie Poster Data Base, so these figures do not include all visitors -- only the ones our stats package can track.

IMAGES - The Movie Poster Data Base now has over 20,000 images on line. This represents about 10% of the images we have, so we still have a long way to go.

COMING May 1st 2004 -
LearnAboutMilitaryPosters.com

In light of the current world events, over the past year, we noticed a significant number of visitors coming to our site through our sister site, LearnAboutWW2Posters.com. According to our stats program, it is regularly ranked in the top 20 areas visited. It is apparent that many movie poster collectors also collect other types of posters, and military collectors are looking at war movie posters.

In addition, we have several of our dealers that are carrying a variety of war movie posters and other war posters.

Due to numbers we could no longer ignore, and the benefits of cross product marketing, we have decided to divide this section off into its own website: LearnAboutMilitaryPosters.com.

This site will be dedicated to the posters issued during war time events: World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and others. In addition, we will be putting up a special section on movie posters that highlight each war period.

We will officially kick off the site May 1, 2004. There are several advertising spots available for any dealers who wish to sponsor this site. Dealers that carry war-related posters can contact us about participating in our site. For more information, visit the website or contact us via email.
