About Us

My "family" has been in the cinema industry since the 1970's. But sadly due to the recession and Multiplex developments they had to close the doors to the sites at the beginning of 2010.

Over the last four decades we have amassed a private collection of approximately 10,000 movie posters and I have been steadily cataloguing and making these available to collectors via this store and eBay (my ebay seller id is pastposters).

I decided to build this website due in part to the ever increasing eBay fees but primarily to make your browsing and collecting a more enjoyable and instantaneous experience. I will still be using eBay for weekly auctions of newly catalogued items.

I describe and photograph every single poster so the picture you are looking at will be the exact poster you receive, I also list every flaw that I can see, rather than just use blanket grading systems which I feel are extremely subjective and open to the occasional seller being liberal with their descriptions.

Also you have added peace of mind due to the fact that the vast majority of items have originated from my “family’s” own Cinema's or from collections of Industry colleagues, so there is no chance of forgeries.

I am updating the catalogue weekly as I still have many thousands of items to sort through, so please bookmark this site and check back regularly.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for visiting my site. Jamie

** Update (2024) .. due to the success and ongoing support of my fantastic customers, I am now buying collections of UK Quad Posters that are from the 1980's or earlier, so please do contact me if you have a collection you would like to sell **
