Buying a vintage movie poster isn’t just shopping—it’s stepping into cinema history. Every piece we offer was once displayed to promote a film at its original release, carrying the folds, ink, and charm of its era. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply looking for a striking artwork to hang at home, our FAQs below will guide you through the essentials: authenticity, condition, shipping, and more. Think of it as your quick primer before diving into the world of original unframed posters.

FAQs
1. Are your posters original?
Yes. All posters we sell are authentic vintage prints issued at the time of a film’s release, not reproductions or reprints.
2. What condition are the posters in?
Each poster is graded (e.g., Fine, Very Fine, Near Mint) with detailed notes on folds, pinholes, or minor wear. Condition reports are included in every listing. For more detail on condition and grading here
3. Are the posters framed?
No. All posters are sold unframed to preserve originality and allow buyers to choose their own framing style. For restoration and framing options please look here
4. Do the posters have folds?
Many vintage posters—especially US 1-Sheets and UK Quads—were originally shipped folded by studios. This is normal and does not reduce authenticity.
5. How do you ship posters safely?
Folded posters are shipped flat in sturdy packaging; rolled posters are sent in heavy-duty tubes. We use archival materials to protect them in transit.
6. Do you provide certificates of authenticity?
Yes. Every purchase comes with a signed certificate of authenticity confirming the poster’s originality, provenance, and condition grade.
7. Can I return a poster if I’m not satisfied?
We offer a 14-day return policy provided the poster is returned in the same condition it was sent.
8. How do I know the poster’s value?
We base valuations on auction records, dealer sales, and collector demand. Prices reflect current market trends for vintage posters. However the market does fluctuate so we are always happy to be challenged or open to reasonable offers. Simply contact us
9. Do you sell reproductions or digital prints?
No. We only deal in original vintage posters. If a poster is a re-release (e.g., anniversary edition), it will be clearly stated.
10. Do you buy posters from collectors?
Yes. We’re always interested in acquiring authentic vintage posters. Contact us with details and photos for appraisal.
