Poster Information
Original posters
Original posters are posters that were released when the movie
first came out. A re-release, also known as a re-issue, is
a poster made when the movie was re-released after the original
date. Originals and re-releases cost more than reprints because
they generally increase in value over time. Original and re-release
posters offer the new collector a great hobby which can also
be financially rewarding as well as a lot of fun.

Reprint Posters
Reprint posters allow anyone to afford a memento of their
favourite movie, celebrity or character. Great for the wall,
restaurant shop or office, reprints are made using the same
printing plates that were used for the original or re-release,
or by photographing the original poster and making new printing
plates. Our Reprints are of the highest quality and are reproduced
on high grade poster paper. Please Note: All dimensions are approximate.
Character
and personality posters
Character and personality posters are commercial posters produced
for sale to the general public. They are generally approx.
24x34 inches (64x86cm) and are of high quality. Please Note: All dimensions are approximate.
Music Promo
Poster
Music Promo Posters areproduced for publicity for an album
single of an artist and are not generally for sale outside
collectors markets. They become very sought after collectors
items. Please Note: All dimensions are approximate.
Advance and
Teaser posters
Original posters are further classified into Advance or Teaser.
Advance posters are usually issued several months prior to
the release of the movie and will often have entirely different
artwork to the poster that is used on release. Advance posters
do not generally have any film credits and may be released
so early that not even the film's title is included. Please Note: All dimensions are approximate.
