Poster Collecting: Poor Examples

Video Transcript

"Welcome to Starting a Poster Collection. Today we're going to talk about really, really mediocre posters, and some semi-mediocre posters. Next you have to start grading your items, deciding the value or the quality of an item. This would be a bad quality poster, which is a, it's just a bad poster all the way around. It's basically what I would say, worthless fodder on kids walls, that can be thrown away when they're done using, or when they're no longer interested in the movie. You can just throw this poster away, this poster is a disposable piece of junk. So we can dispose of this poster, because it's a piece of junk. So we'll get rid of that. Next, we move to something which is a mediocre poster, but it has some quality. This is for a band called En Vogue, and they were popular in the nineties. They have fallen way out of favor. There used to be four members, they actually made an album with only three members, and hardcore collectors want the posters with all four members, and obviously this album had no hits, and really didn't do anything for them. It doesn't have a great quality image, it doesn't look great, it's not enticing, but it's still worth keeping. And then we move onto what we showed as the original versus the reproduction which we threw over there, of the Pulp Fiction. This is a good quality poster, which possibly over time if they don't make millions of them, this poster will eventually gain value. But it's still kind of a mediocre poster which you could eventually just throw away when you're not longer interested. Because they're going to make this poster between now, and forty years from now."
