@Jaded I used to have one of the original Batman (Keaton) movie display stands, but that was back when I was in high school and had no idea about 'collections' like that. Sadly it is long gone.

Yeah, the Batman movie posters were pretty popular and hard to get because most movie theater managers looked at an adolescent cross-eyed when asked for their posters. Strangely though the one from Batman Forever was the hardest to get the cinema to let go of because they were supposed to get shipped back.

I'm in a similar boat.
My father gave me an original theater use poster for Empire Strikes Back when I was about 15 but I didn't know well enough how to care for it and it got damaged when I moved out.

Sad for both the poster and it being the only time my father ever picked out a suitable gift for me. (My mother only became okay at it once I was an adult.)

Star Wars posters are the heart of my collection, I think I have about 40 different kinds of Star Wars posters; all the movie posters certainly but also posters that were only available through cereal giveaways, restaurants, and other unique sources.

Star Wars is my primary geek collection. I have knickknacks, action figures, LEGO sets, posters, books, comics, lightsaber hilt replicas, t-shirts, bedsheets, adventure toys, board games - I mean for a long time if it had Star Wars anything on it, I bought it.

I just wish my tiny apartment let me put it all on display instead of being in 45 boxes in a closet.
