How Much Can Your Old Movie Posters Worth?

November 14, 2012 by Trish

Many collectors of movie posters are wondering what the posters are worth. Movie posters can provide some extra money for those who want to liquidate. Vintage photographs can actually be worth a lot if they are kept in good condition. Obtaining pricing for posters can be difficult, but there are a few criteria that every vintage photo must meet. Here are a few tips:

1. Keep the Poster in Good Condition

For the highest value, the poster should be in incredible condition. There should be no scratches, wrinkles, fading and scrapes. Every old movie poster should be placed in a poster frame. The poster frames should not allow UV-rays to permeate the glass. The frame should also not break if the picture falls on the ground.

2. Know the Demand

The value of your poster will depend on the demand. If the poster is in high demand, good condition and is one of a few on the market, the poster’s value will rise. If no demand exists, the poster’s value will be low. The value will also be low if there is demand and plenty of supply. You must have a poster that other people do not have and everyone wants. All of your posters should be kept in good condition. You never know when the demand will increase.

3. Volume

Unfortunately for collectors, the value of vintage movie posters rises and falls like the ebb and flow of the ocean. If there are only five to 10 copies of a movie poster, the demand for the poster will be greater than if there were 10,000 copies of a poster. When you purchase a poster, know the volume of the poster to determine the approximate value. For instance, a low volume poster may be worth $500, and a high volume poster may be worth $100. The value is highly dependent upon the total volume in circulation.

4. Era

Typically, the value of an older poster will be worth more than a newer poster. Many posters can be worth more if the posters are kept in dimly lit rooms. Some well-preserved older posters are worth more than some antiques. Posters that come from the first runs are likely to be worth more than a poster that was created at a later time period. Cult movie posters are often worth more also.

Find Out How Much Your Old Posters are Worth

Find out how much your old movie posters are worth. When you are ready to sell, you will know what the posters are worth. Talking to vintage sellers will help you determine how much your old posters are worth. It is best to be prepared before you are ready to sell. This will help you get the best price for your movie posters. If you follow these tips, you will be better prepared to sell for a more substantial sum.

The Buskers Festival

September 17, 2011 by Tricia

My husband and I enjoy going to as many local events as possible – especially during the summer. I can’t believe that I almost forgot to post photos from the last interesting Toronto event we went to together.

Near the end of August my the Buskers Festival was held in Downtown Toronto. I’ve never attended this festival before but I’m pretty sure I’ll be going again. I really enjoyed what I saw. Firedancers, performers doing slight of hand tricks, flame throwing acts, dancing dolls, people walking around on stilts, dancers, acrobatics, musicians and more – all on the street.

Here’s a photo of Silver Elvis .. as I took the photo our dog, Midnight, started barking at him so he was enjoying himself posing for her and the crowd around us was laughing their heads off at our dog. It was funny.

Silver Elvis? 2

Here’s another shot:

Silver Elvis? 5

Then there was this woman who was dancing like a wind up doll:

One of the best events that we saw the night we went was a group called Flame Oz. I took video of their performance but I haven’t uploaded it yet. It was fantastic!

Have you ever been to a Buskers Festival?

Trying to work on my photography skills

July 17, 2011 by Tricia

I’ve been spending a lot of time over the last few months working on my photography. I’ve always been interested in photography, but last year I slacked off and didn’t take as many pictures and the ones that I did take I didn’t edit or use on my sites.

So this year I’ve made a major effort to both increase the amount of photos that I take when I go to events and to get them edited and uploaded to my computer quickly.

I’ve also been experimenting with cameras. I’ve been using both my Cannon Digital SLR and my new Nokia N8 12 megapixel camera. One camera that recently caught my eye was the digital casio. It’s 14 mp. I have to check it out more, but that sounds pretty good. Maybe it could be a travel camera.

Do you enjoy photography? Do you try to bring a camera with you where ever you go?

A shovel with some good ol’ character

July 30, 2008 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

I would love to have this shovel in my garden. Unfortunately it was just too expensive. Chris and I saw this fantastic shovel or lets say piece of metal artwork at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit last summer. I wanted it soooo bad!

Going to Toronto’s Outdoor Art Exhibition this weekend

July 10, 2008 by Tricia

My brother just sent me an email to tell my that his son, my nephew, was going to have a photographic exhibit at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition this weekend. I believe it starts tomorrow and runs through until Sunday.

Chris and I went last year after learning my nephew was having his first exhibit there and we were really enjoyed the exhibits. I really love pottery and sculptures so I took lots of pictures. Take a look at these glass fish that were at the show last year.

Of course I loved my nephews work too. He won awards and his artwork was published in a book last year. he’s a very good photographer.

We only purchased a small pottery vase at the show last year but now that I know what kinds of art work will be there we’ll probably buy a few more items this year. Certainly at a show like this with artists exhibiting items in the same field we’ll probably be able to get the best buy for our money.

Oh I can’t wait to see all the pottery, metal sculptures, wood carvings, paintings and well … just everything. It’s a fantastic art festival. If you are in the Toronto area you should go – it’s downtown at City Hall.
