We use a lot of different reference websites to do research on the items we are consigned. Below we provide a list and basic description of all these websites so that you too can use these wonderful references.

eMoviePoster.com Auction History - Our Auction History database is a great resource for not only finding out how much items sell for (it currently has 1,665,560 VERIFIED auction results, where every price that is listed was actually paid, and that's not true of ANY other online sales database). Even if it doesn't contain results on what you are looking for, that helps you get a sense of that item's rarity! In addition, this Auction History currently has 1,613,508 images of the items we auctioned, so you can browse nearly endless images of great movie posters, lobby cards, photos, non-movie posters, and much, much more!

IMPORTANT! The above Auction History database is 100% free to all. However, if you want to be able to view larger images as well, and to see all the prices each item went for, you need to register with us HERE: https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf. Registration is free, and easy to do, and you can quit anytime. We have bidders register so all our bidders know they are always bidding against people who will honor ALL their bids, something that is not at all true at other online auction sites.

-Learn About Movie Posters - This is the premiere movie poster reference site that has an unbelievable amount of information to help collectors. It is primarily supported by advertising from poster dealers and auctions, and we are proud to say that we were the VERY FIRST website to ever sponsor it!

Just a few of the reference materials they have include:

* Identifying and dating Stamps and Stickers for verifying originals
* Gathered poster artist info off THOUSANDS of posters
* Poster Artist Signature Identification Log
* Country Identification Charts
* French Visa Censor Log
* French Printers Log
* Japanese Eiren Log
* 1000s of lithography plate numbers
