There are now a relatively small number of authentic antique posters on the market today, which is why collecting vintage posters has grown so popular. Depending on the popularity and genre, some vintage posters are highly expensive, while others can be found for a reasonable price. Here are a few tips that could be useful when you start assembling vintage poster art.

Period art styles include modernism, art deco, art nouveau, and symbolism. Additionally, posters exist in a variety of sizes, styles, and themes. Posters come in a wide variety of styles, including those for the western genre, old movie posters, military posters, ads, and political posters. The list is endless, but pick what piques your curiosity the most and have fun!

Some vintage posters are more valuable than others when it comes to collecting them. Posters from World War II and those that have been autographed are harder to locate and more valuable. Make sure the autograph is real before buying a signed poster. If it is, the seller will typically include a certificate of authenticity with your order. Vintage art collecting is not only incredibly fascinating but can also be very lucrative, whether you are doing it for leisure or because you have a passion for a particular era or subject.

In my investigation, I discovered that an original German poster for the Fritz Lang movie Metropolis sold for more than $700,000. There are currently very few, and one is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. So as you can see for yourself, collecting vintage art posters can be a really pricey hobby.

The well-known internet marketplace Bidsquare focuses on selling antique and vintage goods. If you're looking for a substantial collection of fine art, such as Dane fine art, Bidsquare is a better option.

In order to ensure that the vintage poster you wish to buy is not a replica and is in fact genuine original and legitimate, you should check the poster's condition (mint, near-mint, new, barely used, etc.). Additionally, you should find out if the poster has undergone any damage repair and how it has been kept safe up to this point.

Political posters are rare and highly treasured if you are interested in history, not just for the poster's artistic merit but also because of its significance to our nation's past. Vintage horror posters, like The Bride of Frankenstein, are likewise quite valuable and in high demand (which is to be auctioned off in November 2010 by Heritage Auctions) One of these rare vintage posters will fetch a hefty premium from the many collectors who exist worldwide.

Nowadays, collecting old posters is a lucrative industry. Start your collection with the items you are interested in, whether they be books, movies, or anything else that suits your tastes and budget.
