"Poster Price Almanac 1998" - edited by John Kischn - 1st (and only) PRINT Hardtcover (8-1/2" x 11") - Published in 1998 by Separate Cinema Publications - 612 pages (with many ads for sellers of vintage movie posters) - NEAR MINT condition. This 1998 edition of THE ALMANAC marks the 8th appearance of the reference book, still unique in its field. Nowhere else can dealers or collectors find, in one place, such a complete and constructive record of the significant past. For this issue, one hundred thousand listings have undergone painstaking edits, reflecting the many changes that have taken place in the movie poster market. This is not a mere "price guide;" it is rather a compilation of ACTUAL prices realized in legitimate auctions all over the world. Many new dealers and auction houses have replaced some of the old and faded stars whose once bright lights are extinguishing themselves. The biggest disappointment over the past year is the continued existence of the self serving charlatans who have managed to hoodwink their way under the auction and sales tent. Their high prices, lies, and carnival barker style, needs to be exposed. Their outright fraud is a threat to honest dealers and collectors everywhere. Allowing their activities to go unchecked will invite a scandal that could, at the very least, halt the growth of the film poster market. As with all collectibles, the best defense for collectors are honest dealers and auction houses. We will continue to tell you who the best ones are, as well as whom to avoid. Just ask us... Always cognizant of our responsibility for accuracy and record without bias, we know that what is recorded here must stand on your reference shelf. This edition of THE ALMANAC has been compiled with diligence and scrupulous care by a well-seasoned and experienced staff. It continues to be the product of many years of dedication to the service of providing current and accurate sales information on movie posters for dealers and collectors alike.
