Top 10 Most Valuable Movie Posters Revealed By Top Dollar Study
Many of us have seen great movie posters, though it’s not very common to discuss their monetary value. You may think of movie posters as masterpieces of graphic design and photography or just as pretty pictures, but what is it that causes a poster to gain immense value? Experts say it’s a mix of box office success, cult appeal, and, of course, extreme rarity of the poster.
In today’s world, trailers of the movies, interest in the cast or social media presence often overshadow the poster’s use as a marketing tool. However, true movie fanatics still care deeply about vintage posters because they remind them of the excitement around the movie’s original release. An authentic poster like that is not a cheap purchase—it can cost upwards of a quarter-million dollars at auction.
So what are the most valuable movie posters ever made? And how much do they sell for? Dust off your poster collection, because this new study from Top Dollar reveals the most valuable movie posters of all time.
