We have gotten a tremendous response from our LAMP dealers for our L.A.M.P. Dealers Market ("LDS").

This 800-page, one-of-its-kind publication will have approximately 65,000 listings of movie posters for sale, including condition and price, from LAMP dealers from around the world. It will be the largest compilation of posters for sale ever printed. Prices range from under $5 to over $15,000. The LDM will also include records of the top selling 1100 posters.

It will be 8-1/2 x 11, spiral bound to lay flat while open for ease of use. We have scheduled a very short print schedule to ensure that prices are as current as possible. The print will be larger than most standard catalogues and price guides.

DEALERS: Don't miss any sales when you don't have the poster your customer is looking for..

COLLECTORS: Here's help in placing a value on your collection as well as contact information to help you fill in the holes in your collection.

CALIFORNIA,
HERE WE COME
!
LAMP DEALERS UNITE!

We learned so much from last year's Cinevent that we have decided that LAMP needs a presence at more movie poster and collector shows. We represent some of the best movie poster dealers, restorers, framers and suppliers in the world, and we need to bring this information to the collecting community that is NOT on the internet.

Our first LAMP show will be the Hollywood Collectors Show at the Hilton Burbank Airport Hotel February 16-17, 2007. We hope to have a very active and interactive table setup. We will have a computer set up to demonstrate the LAMP family of websites; will bring our new L.A.M.P. Dealers Market and our Learn About Movie Posters books on hand for sale; and will provide flyers, coupons, brochures, etc. from all of our LAMP dealers. We will be there promoting our dealers and sponsors who are unable to attend the show.

If anyone is going to be in the Burbank area on these days, please come to the show and visit our table. We're always happy to talk posters with fellow collectors and dealers.
