Movie Posters

Hundreds of thousands of dollars can be paid for a movie poster. A poster for the 1932 Hollywood classic “Mummy” sold for $435,000 on eBay. Others, such as the posters for “Casablanca” (1946) and “Dracula,” fetched thousands of dollars (1931).

A “Pulp Fiction” poster and a “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” poster both sold for a lot of money. Many of the newer movie posters, on the other hand, only attract high bids when there is a misprint or other rarity. Movie posters from the 1980s such as “The Breakfast Club,” “E.T.,” “Ghostbusters,” and “The Outsiders” aren’t worth the paper they were printed on.

Comic Books

Markets are flooded with countless issues of recent comic books, similar to sports cards. Publishers print in large quantities due to the high demand for comic-related merchandise. Another factor is that today’s editions’ characters lack the uber-popular appeal of, say, Superman.

Furthermore, today’s Superman issues aren’t worth much. On the other hand, if you have an original Iron Man or Thor comic book, it could be worth a million dollars or more.
