Poster Profit
Pinupcalendar has come up with a brilliant idea for what should be a very lucrative venture.
A day or two ago, she read a newspaper article that said that old movie posters are selling for huge sums. Pinupcalendar learned that an original poster from the 1931 film Dracula, with Bela Lugosi, recently sold for $310,700 (US). And, in an unrelated sale, a poster from the 1954 Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn film, Sabrina, sold for $15,480 (US).
Hmm … A poster for a movie about a blood-sucking vampire (sounds a lot like most Shalampaxians; rhetorically speaking, of course) is worth a little over 20 times more than a poster for a love story about two wealthy brothers—one a playboy and one a hard-worker—and a chauffeur’s daughter. Who knew? Maybe Paperplate should start selling posters in the Shalampax Flag Store and the Shalampax Coat of Arms store. We’re more sinister than vampires. But, I digress.
