Original vintage movie posters and movie memorabilia have become increasingly desirable by collectors, movie buffs and aficionados of movie poster art over the past 25 years. Most people don't realize vintage movie posters are available to the general public . They were only to be loaned to theater owners and then returned thereafter thereby never produced for the collector market. Vintage movie posters even have a studio notation on the bottom stating “Property of National Screen Service Licensed for Display Purposed Only, Must Be Returned”. Before the monopolization of the movie theatre industry, movie posters were also used throughout the community to promote upcoming films. The barber shop, drug store and local hardware store displayed movie poster “inserts” and “window cards”. Today, only the “one sheet” movie poster is produced and displayed in the theatre lobbies.
