I have some old movie posters from my days in the cinema, which I'm thinking about selling.
Anybody got any ideas as to where I could get these valued. I have a fair idea as to an estimated value on some of them.

Movie posters have become a big business over here on this side of the pond, and I would suggest ...

Value based on :

Actors involved
Famous title?
Cult classic horror? (Texas Chainsaw ect.)

and most importantly

condition

Those old movie posters weren't made to last and I've seen way too many posters out there that are faded color, extremely torn up, ect.

Some, no matter what, will bring in incredible amounts of money.
I forget how much, but there was a Laurel and Hardy film poster that brought in an INCREDIBLE amount of money!

I have dealt with both and can endorse them.

You can also try looking up individual titles on ebay to see if someone else is selling a title and by using the 'watch' function follow the auction to it's final price.
