The poster art era, which peaked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is in vogue once again, thanks to the demand for vintage posters. Vintage Posters became a collector's item only sometime in the 1970s, so there are still plenty of unrecognized posters that you can bag for a song and sell for a nifty profit.
If you are doing the buying online, you need to be aware of exactly what to look for in posters. The most valuable posters were printed using stone lithography - a long drawn-out process that precluded the possibility of reprints. If you are lucky enough to find one poster, chances are that you will most probably locate it through the internet.
Online stores that specialize in Vintage Posters also offer services such as framing and shipping. If you are aiming for rare posters, then you can safely purchase them even if they are not in topnotch condition. However, for later era posters with many reprints, good condition is a must. You may have to check many online sources before you find posters with the right combination of art, price, and condition.
