You surely already know that our Auction History, found on our website, is far and away the very best movie poster database, whether you are looking for images (we have around a MILLION of them, most high quality) or whether you are looking for pricing information (we have complete information on the over one million auctions we have conducted, including dates, condition grade and prices sold for) and best of all they are ALL honest results, because we are the only major auction house that drops out sales that never happened. In every case the price listed was paid in full in cash, and there is no other auction database where that is true.

But in addition to having the best movie poster database, we are also working to have the best database of movie descriptions as well! What do I mean? On every poster we list, we confirm that we have the top five stars (at least) and that they are listed in exactly the order they were billed on the first release posters from the country of origin. We also copy down all "taglines" found on first release posters from the country of origin, and we give the genre of the movie, as well as some keywords, and a brief accurate summary of the plot of the movie. We also create informative small biographies of stars, and we link the stars' names to those. Finally, we always note the source novel or play if we can find it, and we copy the billing of the source novel or play exactly as it is written on the poster.

You can't find all this information accurately listed in one place anywhere else! Now sure the IMDb gives you every single actor in the movie, but they are often NOT in the right billing order, and they often make mistakes, and they are very slow to correct them. That is the greatest strength of our database! We not only tirelessly copy down all the information found on each poster (in the correct order, and matching capitalization on taglines) but we also research most movies online, and add what information we can!

Here is a sample description to show you the lengths we go to, to give great movie descriptions:

Pickup, the 1951 Hugo Haas bad girl crime film noir (with an amazing number of hard-boiled taglines on the various posters [likely explained by the two different campaigns; see below]; "They gave her a bad name and she lived up to it!"; "Murder was her mistake...Marrying her was his!"; "Would you 'Pick-Up' this girl? - You won't if you know what's good for you"; "Don't be scared- ...I'm just a girl..."; "You can 'Pick Up' this girl... but you won't if you know what's good for you!"; "Marrying her was his mistake... Murder was hers!"; "You can 'Pick Up' this girl ...but you won't if you know what's good for you!"; "Easy to 'Pick-Up' but you won't if you know what's good for you!"; "The low-down on a come-on girl!"; "Get in kid, there's always room for one more..."; about a beautiful young woman who traps an older man who wants her; she marries him and then plans to murder him!) starring Beverly Michaels, Hugo Haas, Allan Nixon, Howland Chamberlin, and Jo Carroll Dennison. Note that this is an unusual movie (aside from being one of the most classic bad girl movies ever!). It had two entirely different campaigns. The images were the same, but the coloring and taglines were different. There are two different one-sheets and two different title cards, and likely two different versions of the other size posters. It seems likely that they started with one campaign and then immediately either changed the campaign to the new taglines, or continued with both campaigns (we know this because one of the one-sheets has a lower litho number than the other, but not by much, so they both came out in 1951). We would think the vast majority of collectors would view both campaigns as first release, and many collectors would likely want to get an example from each campaign! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

So the next time you want to look up a poster price OR you just want to learn more about ANY movie, give our Auction History a chance BEFORE you try the IMDb or other online sites! And ANY time you see any entry that should be expanded or corrected, please let us know so we can fix or amend that entry right away!
