Formats We Identify

Theatrical advertising came in many shapes. The analyzer knows the standard formats and what each is worth to collectors.

🎯 One SheetThe standard U.S. size and the collector favorite. Originals for major films command the strongest prices.
↔️ Half Sheet & InsertSmaller display formats, often on heavier stock. Scarcer than one sheets for some titles.
🖼️ Lobby CardsSets of scene cards displayed in theater lobbies. Complete sets and title cards carry premiums.
🌐 International PostersForeign-release artwork, sometimes more striking than the U.S. version and prized for it.
⏳ Advance / TeaserPre-release posters with early artwork. Often printed in smaller runs than the final design.
🔁 Re-Releases & ReprintsLater theatrical re-issues and commercial reproductions — the analyzer flags the difference, which is decisive for value.

What Makes a Poster Valuable?

A reproduction of a famous poster is worth a few dollars; an original can be worth thousands. The analyzer weighs what separates them.

Tips for the Best Results

Good photos help the analyzer judge both identity and originality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my movie poster is valuable?
The biggest factors are originality, the film, the format, and condition. Original theatrical posters for landmark films in good condition can be worth hundreds or thousands; reprints are worth far less. artiFACT looks for the tells that separate originals from reproductions and compares against collector prices.
How can I tell if it's an original or a reprint?
Originals usually carry an NSS number, studio mark, or printer's tag and match the size and printing of the release era. Reprints often lack these or use modern paper. The analyzer weighs these clues and tells you how confident it is.
What is a one sheet?
The standard U.S. movie poster size — roughly 27 x 41 inches for older releases — and the format most collectors focus on. The analyzer identifies the format as part of the valuation.
Do fold lines hurt the value?
Folds were standard on older posters and are expected, so they don't disqualify a poster. Tears, tape, pinholes, fading, and trimming do reduce value. The analyzer notes visible condition factors in its estimate.
