Dear The Ugly,
Yes, Kirk has one of the most impressive collections of horror and sci-fi film posters in the world, especially Lobby Cards (11 x 14 inch cards
usually 8 to a movie, which were displayed 4 on each side of the lobby as you walked through the theater to your seats after purchasing the tickets).
I, at one time, had amassed the world's largest Abbott and Costello movie poster collection. Given that most of it sat, sight unseen in a storage room
(who has a house big enough for all of them to be seen, not me) I one day decided that these items should be enjoyed and not tucked away by some collector
never to be seen. I sold the overwhelming majority of the posters including an Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein 6 Sheet (81 inches by 81 inches) which is
the only known copy to exist. I made the buyer promise he would display it and he did. Jim Gresham is his name and he published a book of his world famous
poster collection and that piece is pictured in his book.
About 2 years ago, I sold my Casablanca 1-Sheet (27 inches x 41 inches which is the poster you would see in the display glass outside the entrance of a theatre).
I once had to sell, in one day, a The Roaring Twenties and The Maltese Falcon 1-Sheets. My Dad had an emergency and I had to raise money in a day without telling him
so this guy in Ohio bought them and promised me first option in a trade or sell should he ever get rid of them. He immediately traded them to a guy in NJ and never told me.
Funny story.
Harley
