Sell to Us · Movie Posters & Hollywood
Sell the posters that came home from the theater.
Southern California is where movie paper comes from, and its houses still hide it: the one sheets a projectionist saved, the lobby cards from a theater that closed in 1968, the stills and scripts of relatives who worked the studios. Original release movie paper is a serious collecting field, and titles people assume are common can be five-figure rarities.

Folded is original. Do not flatten anything.
Posters were shipped folded for most of film history, so folds are not damage; they are evidence of originality. Resist the urge to iron, tape, or frame anything before we look, and never trim edges to fit a frame. The studio-town estates we visit, from Burbank families to retired craft workers across the region, regularly hold paper the collecting world has been hunting for decades. Let us turn the stack together.
A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions
How do I know if a poster is an original or a reprint?
Printing process, paper stock, dimensions, and tell-tale markings. It takes minutes in person and is the single most valuable question in this category, since the answer can move a price by a hundred times.
Are stills and black-and-white photos worth anything?
Good ones, yes: key set stills, portraits by named photographers, and horror and noir scenes all have markets. Quantity helps; we happily go through whole boxes.
A relative worked at a studio for decades. What should we not throw away?
Paper, above all: scripts, call sheets, IDs, department memos, and photographs. The everyday material of studio work is the hardest to find and the most loved by collectors and archives.
