Favorite Movie Genre Original Posters

You might be surprised by how fervently some collectors pursue original prints of Favorite Movie Genre posters. However, they’re only looking for authentic originals – meaning that they come from the first run of the poster and not a more recent reprint.
Today, there’s quite a lot of money that goes into the movie poster collection business. Where do people find these originals though, whether they’re for classic over the top movie from decades ago or for hits from more recent years?
eBay is one popular source of original posters; many collectors are offering their originals for sale on the extremely popular auction site. Predictably, however, there are quite a few fakes among the originals and it can be hard to determine which is which.

The Authenticity of a Poster

If you’re looking to ensure the authenticity of a poster before making a purchase, check with websites like Heritage Auction Galleries. Sites of this type can help you verify that a poster is an original and guide you in the right direction in purchasing such originals, no matter which era of film they were made for.
Some originals can be worth an incredible amount of money, as much as $200,000! I’ve seen original posters for classics such as the 30s film The Mummy and King Kong sell for such exorbitant amounts.
It’s a viable money-making strategy to buy original posters online and save them to sell for a huge profit later. Autographed posters are especially valuable, so it’s best to seek those out. Keep an original Favorite Movie Genre poster in a safe place for a few decades and you might find it selling for thousands of dollars more than you paid.
That’s the great thing about collecting classic items such as original Favorite Movie Genre posters. You can sit back and watch their value grow as the years pass, and you’ll almost certainly end up with a tremendous profit if you give the item a few decades to rise in value.
Worried that you’ll pass away before getting the chance to sell off that original poster and reap the rewards? Leave it to your children or grandchildren in your will and testament. They’ll certainly appreciate your foresight when they realize that they’re holding on to a piece of history worth thousands of dollars.
