Movie posters are an integral part of film marketing and have evolved over the years into collectible art forms. They come in various formats, each with its unique appeal, making them highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts.

1. One-Sheet Posters: One-sheet posters are the most common and recognizable format, typically measuring 27x41 inches (68x104 cm). They feature the movie's key artwork, title, and credits. Collectors favor one-sheets because they represent the essence of the film and are relatively easy to display.

2. Lobby Cards: Lobby cards, usually measuring 11x14 inches (28x36 cm), were commonly used in the early 20th century to advertise films in theater lobbies. They consist of a set of 8-12 individual cards, each showcasing a scene or character from the movie. Collectors appreciate lobby cards for their historical significance and the opportunity to own multiple images from a single film.

3. Half-Sheet and Insert Posters: Half-sheet posters (22x28 inches) and insert posters (14x36 inches) are less common but still valuable formats. They often feature unique artwork and are popular among collectors for their size and rarity.

4. Three-Sheet and Six-Sheet Posters: These large-format posters are often used for outdoor advertising and are extremely rare. Three-sheet posters measure 41x81 inches (104x206 cm), while six-sheet posters are even larger at 81x81 inches (206x206 cm). Their sheer size and scarcity make them highly prized among collectors.

5. Special Edition and Promotional Posters: Some films release special edition posters or promotional materials for specific events or anniversaries. These posters can feature unique artwork and designs, making them collectible items for fans and collectors.

Silver Screen Mementos are gradually releasing original photographs, negatives, transparencies, lobby cards, magazines, posters and other rare collectors items from our historic archives.
