Is there anything that you would like to start collecting but just haven't yet?

I’ve always had a thing for vintage film posters, the bold colours, striking artwork, and the way they capture the essence of a film in a single image. I’d love to start collecting them, but I haven’t quite taken the plunge yet. Part of the reason is that I’m still figuring out what I like and don’t like. The world of vintage posters is so vast, spanning different eras, genres, and styles, and I want to explore it properly before I dive in.

Is there anything you would like to start collecting in the future?

Some film posters are cool... I'd be worried space wise how to do it. Maybe one of those folio jobs they used to have in Athena? 😂

Do you have any that you already know you'd probably be all over?

I'm sure I heard once of a Metropolis poster that's crazy money. Can't remember why or what it looked like, mind.

Haha!! An Athena folio would be interesting.

Yes there are few that i'd be all over (see pics below) but they are silly money....sigh haha.

Funny you should mention the Metropolis poster as it would be my holy grail. Not just because of it's value but I just love the artwork.

I think one went for over a million green ones......crazy!! I have attached a picture of it.

Yeah some of those are 😎.

To be fair mate, if you got the space just a few absolute pearls on a wall, well framed would look fire.
