What Baseball Cards Reveal About Investing in Movie Posters

There are THOUSANDS of Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle baseball cards—yet many still sell for millions.

Now, consider this:

  • Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz – Only around 100 original posters of each have survived.
  • Frankenstein, Dracula – Fewer than five known originals exist.

In 1981, a California collector bought a Frankenstein poster for $1,000—his wife nearly divorced him! But in 1998, he sold it for $225,000… and yes, they’re still happily married!

Fast forward to the 2020s: Similar posters have exceeded $1 million in private offers.

Let’s not forget—American cinema is a global phenomenon. From Charlie Chaplin and James Bond to Marilyn Monroe and Star Wars, these icons adorn walls across every continent. Can the same be said for Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle?

Movie posters are not just collectibles—they’re an incredible art investment opportunity!
