Studio Movie Poster Online Auction
Auction Date: Friday, April 20, 2018
Time: Begins online at www.cosensauctions.com, sharp at 6pm
This rare collection of Official Studio movie posters were never for sale and only distributed to the trade. In some cases, these posters are one-of-a-kind and all very hard to find.
From two sources:
Lots 1 thru 64 are coming from an old shut-down Movie theatre with the posters running in the 1980's and 90's. All Guaranteed original. Theatre posters from this era are easy to identify as original when the back side of the poster is a negative image of the front. This is so the posters can be installed into a back-lit shadow box display. Most movie posters with a white back did not come from a theatre. Independent movie posters can be an exception. These posters have been handled by theatre staff and often have pin holes in the corners. Maybe a frayed edge. This is damage that will NOT be identified. Any outstanding or bad damage will be identified if thought to be beyond normal wear-and-tear.
Lots 65 thru 131 are Promotional movie posters from a Movie Rental Store operating in the 1980's into the 2000's. That was pretty much the end of the era for video rentals! Like the Theatre posters, Rental Store posters were sent by the Studios to promote the films of the day. In many cases the rentals came out many years after the release of the film. Once again, these are all originals, one-of-a-kind and hard to find.
All of the posters in this consignment have been preserved in dry lamination. This has kept the posters in excellent condition.
