Hello again!  I've picked up some neat vintage movie posters at a local auction.  They appear authentic as there is wear that is consistent with other posters I have seen online.  They are framed and have some condition issues as noted in the pictures.  I am by no means an expert in movie posters and would like any information, education and evaluation that I can get :)  Regardless of value I love these and think they are a good buy.  After research online I was unable to find these exact posters and came across a plethora of reproductions.  Feel free to ask any questions!

Love that last one !!  Jimmy Clanton was my heart throb back then !!  These are B movies that were usually part of a 2 movie matinee on Sat afternoons here !! Usually had one that was a more popular movie and the second was always a B or lesser known film !!  Many of the stars started in B movies !! Like the first pic,, I noticed Nino Tempo as a single,, later he teamed up with April Stevens as a duo, did a song called Deep Purple, and if I remember right it went to top ten in the pop charts !! For any one that likes the Be Bop era ( I do ) they would love these !!  Several singers on that last one were Very well known !!  Chubby Checker,, remember the Twist ???  As far as money,, not a lot I am afraid !!

As far as bringing back memories, your posters are working. For me it's Saturday night in 1962, and my 57' Chevy with the radio tuned to KOMA from Oklahoma City...and Jimmy Clanton singing "Venus in Blue Jeans". I would think some old gray haired coot like myself would love to have those to decorate his garage wall with.  ;D

Those are great. Typical graphics from the mid 60s. I remember Wild Wild winter. It was one of many such movies that had cameo appearances by recording artists of the day. My wife still has her Dave Clark Five song book. The Beau Brummels only big hit that I remember was Laugh Laugh. My garage band attempted to play it. Jay and the Americans were huge and were still perform today. Jay Black and his phenomanal Cara Mia voice are 73 year old and still sound great. Hang on to those posters. They are really nice.

Thank you all for your replies!  I'm very happy to see all of the excitement and bringing back some memories :D.  Being "B" movies even makes them more interesting for myself.  I wish there was some clear cut way to get a value on these but it seems to me as the type of item that would be priced based on ones personal desire to own it.  They might be something to just hold on to for some years and hang up to enjoy.  If anyone would like to continue to share some input feel free!  Thank you all :)

You are right !!  People like me and all others from that generation would pay more because we remember those days !!  I doubt if you could give them away to young people today !! If so,, they would be used for target practice !!

It's actually a great time to be buying them right now. A buddy of mine just got a project '55 Nomad for under $10K and it runs. That same car would have gone for $20K before the market tanked. But I see your point, $10K for a car that needs tons of work is still expensive!
Take every price I say with a grain of salt...
