My Poster Collection - Zardoz.


This poster is from a bad 70's movie starring Sean Connery. I can't remember exactly what this is but I think it's an Australian poster. It's almost as tall as a regular one sheet but about half the width and folds in three.
I remember buying this poster but I'm not sure why. I guess I figured it might be worth money at some point.

My Poster Collection - Pretty Baby


Another poster I got somewhere and probably tried to sell at some point. This film was pretty controversial when it was released as Brooke Shields played a child prostitute. There were also some pics of her in a bathtub and stuff naked but wearing heavy makeup. There was an issue of French Photo magazine that had the pictures inside and on the cover that was worth quite a bit of money pre-internet. There's tons of these on ebay for about $10.00 each.

My Poster Collection - Condorman


Yet another poster for a silly movie no one has ever heard of. I think I got this poster out of a selection of 500 random posters Western Film bought from a dealer back when we bought posters to sell. The only significant thing about the poster/movie is that Michael Crawford starred in it. About the time I got the poster he was pretty big because he was playing The Phantom of The Opera in either Toronto or London England.

My Poster Collection - The Last of Sheila



Another mystery poster, I think I got this poster when I collected on Raquel Welch for a while. She's the bottom one of the little heads in the question mark. I doubt this poster is worth more than few dollars.

My Poster Collection - Risky Business




This is an original one sheet for Risky Business in mint shape. This would have been worth a lot of money a while ago. Still, one place is Toronto wants $138 for one with tape marks. There's an ebay store that wants about $250 for one.

I'd love to get this poster framed. It's one of my farvorite movies and posters. However framing a poster this big costs about $150.00

My Poster Collection - Tequila Sunrise


This is a kinda cool poster starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Pffeifer and Kurt Russell back when they were bigger stars and Mel wasn't crazy. I was a big fan of Mel for a while. I don't remember much about the movie itself. The poster is a little faded. You can tell the movie was from a while ago since the poster has been folded. It has been a while since posters were sent folded.

My Poster Collection - Back to the Beach.


This one of my guilty pleasures from 1987. For some reason I really liked this film even though I wasn't familiar with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. The movie is fun and has some good musical numbers. I went to see it twice at the theatre but I don't think I've seen it since.

My Poster Collection - A Wedding.

I have no idea why I have this poster. It's a 1973 movie called A Wedding. I liked Lauren Hutton for a while so I may have bought it then. I may also have got it in a mass buy of posters I did for Western Film many moons ago and kept it since it did have a couple collectible names on it.

My poster collection #1 Rocky Horror B' Style



Generic part of post, will repeat with later posts- I thought I'd pull out some of my poster collection and post about them. These are from my collection of folded posters. I have way more rolled posters. All posters were folded until about the late 80's. They were easier and cheaper to ship. As a collectibles market developed and theatres started putting the posters in nicer back lit display cases the posters started coming rolled.


This is a uncommon B' Style poster for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Before ebay killed the collectibles market this poster was worth quite a bit of money. I paid $25 US for it about 1992 which was a good price at the time. It's in very good shape. There's one on ebay right now for $15.00 minimum bid.
