You might be surprised by how fervently some collectors pursue original prints of movie posters. However, they’re only looking for authentic originals – meaning that they come from the first run of the poster and not a more recent reprint.

There’s quite a large market for original movie posters these days. But where do people find these originals in the first place?

eBay is one popular source of original posters; many collectors are offering their originals for sale on the extremely popular auction site. Predictably, however, there are quite a few fakes among the originals and it can be hard to determine which is which.

Thankfully there are websites that guide collectors in finding and purchasing original movie posters. Sites such as Heritage Auction Galleries can help a collector determine the authenticity of a poster, no matter what decade the movie was released.

If you think that a movie poster can’t possibly be worth that much money, consider this: I’ve witnessed an original poster sell for as much as $200,000! Posters for classic hit movies like The Mummy and King Kong can easily sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s a viable money-making strategy to buy original posters online and save them to sell for a huge profit later. Autographed posters are especially valuable, so it’s best to seek those out. Keep an original movie poster in a safe place for a few decades and you might find it selling for thousands of dollars more than you paid.

The great thing about classic movie memorabilia is that they tend to grow in value as time passes. You always have a huge profit to look forward to if you wait long enough to sell.

If you’re worried that you’ll pass away before the poster becomes extremely valuable, include it in your will so that it won’t go to waste. Surely your children or grandchildren would appreciate the thought if they find themselves in possession of a piece of movie history worth tens of thousands of dollars!
