Movie Poster Collecting

[Michael Crawford]

Thankee-sai!

Double sided are almost always original unless it's hugely popular like the Spider-man 2 twin towers or a Dark Knight Joker.

Single sided can be original but there are no guarantees. International one sheets are normally single sided nowadays and the same image on the double sided is frequently shipped as a single sided as well.

Thanks for the info everyone.
I'm glad all my Potter posters are double sided.

Can anyone that has a DS T2 poster give me the exact dimensions?

I was thinking that we need an online resource with exact specs on posters - size, various types that were released, etc. IMP is close but not complete for what a collector needs to know.

There used to be a great site where the guy had done EXHAUSTIVE research into double sided reprints - down to sizes, how much of the image was cropped and various differences. But he got criticized by some and he took his site and went home. I wish it was back up, it was a fascinating read. Although according to that site my Pulp Fiction isn't authentic and considering where, how and when I got it - that's difficult to believe.

There was a great place to buy movie posters,even foreign released posters in Harvard Square called Pix Poster Cellar. They even had press kits and photos for the lobby for smaller theaters. I just googled them and it looks like they moved to Somerville,MA. I don't think the website they list works though. It's a shame I got a huge amount of posters from them when I was younger.

How do get the frames form them, they don't seem to ship outside the US?

I would give them a call, don't quote me on it but I remember talking to the owner many years ago while living in Alaska and I seem to remember that she shipped to Canada as well. Not sure about overseas though.

This is the version (shown in two variants) of Batman Begins that I have been wanting:

I snagged the True Grit poster from a local theatre. Nothing fancy, the one that looks like a wanted poster. But, it was free and mint so..

Hey you can't beat free! Congrats!

 

[Michael Crawford]

That is a good one - I picked up an extra for a friend as a present for his HT grand opening! Of course, that's how his addiction is going to start...

You can prob still get it decently cheap, everybody wants the other 2 posters

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Probably why I want something different in my collection.

Am I the only one that likes doing stuff like that ?

Nope you aren't the only one. Everybody has different tastes. Movie posters are no different...

It says international, but some have it listed as 27x39 while others say 27x40. Don't know what to believe.

My favorite Nolan Bats is the portrait of Batman made of Joker cards - it's unusual - I have a single sided version - I don't know if it ever came double sided.
