Hey guys! I'm Branch Sheppard. I am in Houston. I've been collecting movie posters since the age of 12. I'm 45 now, so 33 years I suppose. I have about 5,000 original one sheets from 1950's to present. Most from 1994 to present came from local theaters. I collect certain stars and directors, best picture Oscar winners, etc. I have a lot of duplicates that I am selling off through the Facebook Auction Group. I also get in person autographs. Thanks to Charlie for adding me to this group!!!
Thanks for letting me in. I've been a collector for a few years, since I worked in movie theaters in the '80s. My collection is mostly US one sheets. I'm sure I'll be picking brains as I have some questions about stuff.
I've been a member of this forum for 10 minutes and haven't received any death threats or snide comments about my AIP tattoos so I guess it's safe to stick around. Soiler Alert: Please be aware that my presence will probably lower the property value of the site by a considerable amount. (Soiler alert?) Been collecting mostly horror -sci-fi since I was 13. Had I kept all my stuff, I'd be living in a much nicer house but I'm happy with what I have now at the ripe old age of 71. Just scored a gorgeous copy of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL; perfect shape...and I'm looking for a one sheet from THE DEVIL COMMANDS, first release. I'f you've got one for sale, let me know. Best, Greg Douglass

Welcome Mr AIP!
We (eMoviePoster.com) hold 3,000 auctions every other week + 6 major auctions a year. See all of our current auctions in one gallery here: http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html
Welcome Greg! I think your first post actually increased the property value. (It was zero) As predominately a collector of Aussie paper, I brought a chopped/sliced HOHH off Bruce and had it lovingly restored by Dario. It has been on my walls longer than any other poster in my collection. I luv it!!!
I'm Lux, a movie poster enthousiast living in France.
I don't have enough money, (or enough walls to hang them) to really call myself a professional collector ! I only have 6 orginals posters, but they each are so dear to me ;-)
I'm starting to collect all the posters of the movie "Hara-Kiri" by Kobayashi : The 3 beautifull Italians (I have 1), Cuban, Hungarian, French, 4 Japanese, Polish, Danish... Each so diferent and so gorgeous.

Welcome Lux! I am not sure something like a "professional collector" exists! So far, you are collecting what makes you happy, so I'd say you are right on track. Collecting worldwide posters for the same film is something I enjoy too, the different approaches are interesting to see
Hi all, I've been collecting (small time) for 25+ years. Finding some extra time on my hands this past year, I decided to try to teach myself linen-backing, and stumbled upon this site with some of Charlie's great info- thanks! I can see that restoration is going to be a long term learning process, so I'm plugging along when I have time, trying to learn.
Dr. Strangelove is a favorite movie of mine (though the US poster design is not a particular favorite.) I have a pretty wide range of poster likes - if the illustration is cool.

Seattle you say? I’ve got a sister in Queen Anne and my dad over in Silverdale. Nice country.
Restoration? Always fun, challenging and interesting to say the least! Questions are always welcome!

There's a street of lights
A long dark night
Restaurant scenes
And dark machines...
