One of the fastest growing collectibles in recent years has been movie posters. Whether they are old movie posters from the beginning of cinematic history or new movie posters for movies that have come out in just the last few years, the value of these collectibles are growing.
It used to be that most people purchased posters to decorate their rooms, but with news that some people have collections that are worth millions, more people are starting to collect them as an investment. Though it is always good to hang posters for your favorite movies in your home, remember that some of them might be worth a lot in the future.
I personally have a small collection of posters that I keep stored in a safe place. Each month I buy one or two movie posters that I hang in my media room. Once I get a new one I take the old one down and save it for the future.
My wife used to think I was insane until I sold one of my posters for several thousand dollars, and then she decided I could get all the movie posters I want. Now she even helps me find new ones for our collection and every so often we sell one to take a trip to some exotic location. When our kids get old enough to go to college, we know we already have a valuable enough collection to send them without having to take out loans.
If you are interested in starting a movie poster collection just remember to buy the ones you like and do not worry about which ones are going to valuable down the road. Some movie posters will become more valuable while others will only go up a little, but in the long run they will end up becoming a great hobby that can add financial security in the future.
