Just started to dabble in this so any help would be apreciated, just picked up some nice John Wayne Western originals.

I still have some original lobby cards if you're into those.

I'm not sure about older posters, but I did learn a good way to tell if a poster is original or a reproduction is the size.

Original's are usually 27" x 41" ... while repro's are 27" x 40"

I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule, but I was told the above is a good general guide.

I use to have an original Superman and Superman II movie poster. I may still have them somewhere.

I used to collect them back in the day, but there just isn't any wall space anymore and storing them is always a pain.

I have a framed Angel Heart in my office at work

and a framed Johnny Handsome....waiting in storage. Need more room.

I am drawn to posters from the 60's and early 70's, usually Westerns and Horror.

I think it has more to do with the time the era they were made. I have some original posters but nothing of tremdous value. I do have an original Empire Strikes Back Poster "B" version....paid $40 for it and have no clue if it is worth more, less or the same.

I have quite a few vintage posters, including original 1950s Black Lagoons, Hammer Horrors, etc.
Years ago when I was a kid, my Dad and I visited a movie theatre that was closing, and he had stacks and stacks. The owner asked 50 cents each. If only I had had the pocket money to buy them all...
