Poster
City - Todd Feiertag began collecting posters as a child living
in the suburbs of Nyack, New York. In 1979, he had accumulated so
much material that he opened the mail order company, Poster City,
specializing in rare, vintage movie art. In 1997, Sotheby's auction
presented an auction consisting entirely of Todd's collection. This
auction netted the current record poster price, the $453,500 price
for a one sheet for the 1932 film The Mummy. For more information,
click HERE.
Reeldeals.com
- Dave Smith's internet site offers a great selection of new original
movie posters, vintage posters and reprints, lobby cards and presskits,
among other things. Dave offers both wholesale and retail sales.

Our recent salute to the film posters of the JAMES
BOND films was so popular, that we are now planning
a "star" and a "character" tribute each month.
Our "Featured Star" for July was the legendary Bob Hope.
Click on his name to see the tribute.
BOB
HOPE - Thanks for the memories -- We recently lost one
of our most beloved performers. To honor his memory, we prepared
review of his "body of work" through his movie posters.
Our August "Featured Star" is also one of our childhood
favorites -- everyone's favorite cowboy, ROY
ROGERS. Take a look at the long film life of the man
born Leonard Slye.
Our August "Featured Character" is that infamous jungle
swinger - TARZAN. We will take a detailed look at the actors
behind the character as well as a thorough filmography. Based on
input from our sponsors/dealers, we anticipate a large number of
Tarzan posters that will be available for sale. TARZAN will
make his appearance on our front page the last week of August.
================================
VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD
POSTERS VI
Far too many movie poster collectors are "penny wise and pound
foolish" when it comes time for them to sell their most prized
possessions. They want to pay as low commissions as possible, and
so they end up trying to sell their quality items themselves (either
via eBay auctions or via an ad in Movie
Collectors World) and they often either get far less
than they should have, or, worse yet, their item(s) go unsold and
become "tainted" because they didn't sell, when actually
they were just poorly promoted!
So what is a collector to do to maximize the sale of their most
prized possessions? This is your FINAL chance to consign
your best movie paper items to Bruce Hershenson's 15th major auction,
VINTAGE HOLLYWOOD POSTERS VI, which will be held in mid-December.
Bruce's 14 major auctions have sold over 10 million dollars of movie
posters).
Just as in the past, Bruce will self-publish a glorious full-color
catalogue, with the finest full-color printing there is. Also as
he has done in the past, he will send out 25,000 full color flyers
promoting the sale, so that every poster collector in the world
is aware of this sale.
Bruce is looking for only the very highest quality of items
for this auction. IF YOU HAVE ITEMS YOU WANT CONSIDERED FOR INCLUSION
IN THIS VERY SPECIAL AUCTION, YOU MUST CONTACT BRUCE IMEMDIATELY.
For more information, you can check out his recent ad
in MCW or his website.
