Decorate Your Dorm Room with Movie Memorabilia

Looking for the ultimate ornamentation for your dorm room walls? Want to be the envy of everyone on the hall? You’ll have the ultimate pop culture reference when you decorate your dorm room with genuine movie memorabilia. Why settle for cheap prints from the mall when you can wow everyone with signed movie posters from some of the most popular movie franchises of the past fifty years? Here are some great reasons to invest in genuine movie memorabilia for your dorm room.
There’s Something for Everyone’s Tastes
No matter what your favorite genre is, you’ll find something to your taste among entertainment collectibles. Was your favorite toy a light sabre? Then you’ll want a signed Star Wars: The Duel poster featuring Luke facing off with the man who would be revealed as his father. Do you take your martinis shaken, not stirred? James Bond posters are among the most popular movie posters of all time. For lovers of high fantasy, there’s LOTR posters, and for those who can’t wait for Talk Like a Pirate Day, there’s a wide selection of Pirates of the Caribbean movie posters, including Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest autographed posters available for sale.
It’s Not Just Décor – It’s an Investment
Sure, real movie memorabilia costs more than a department store poster, but the department store poster won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on in five years. When you buy genuine movie memorabilia, it will hold its value – and has a good chance of increasing in value over the years.
It Can Be the Start of a Lifelong Hobby
Many people enjoy collecting celebrity autographs , movie posters, Hollywood memorabilia and other entertainment collectibles. If you start your collection now, you’ll have years of collecting fun ahead of you. Your early purchases can form the basis for a growing collection that will increase in value and enjoyment over the years to come.
You Can Take It With You
People might give you funny looks if they see you hanging up tattered posters from your college days in your first apartment, but when your movie posters are beautifully framed, authenticated Hollywood memorabilia, you’ll get nothing but admiring glances. The movie posters you buy for your college dorm room will find a wonderful home as home theater décor when you move on into adult life.
If movies and movie memorabilia aren’t your thing, you’ll also find an incredible selection of autographed sports memorabilia that will make your room the envy of every sports fan on the hall. No matter what your preference, authenticated entertainment memorabilia is more than just great décor – it’s a great investment.

Beyond Movie Memorabilia and Autographed Sports Memorabilia

Whether you’re looking for unusual memorabilia collectibles or searching for unusual ideas for a man cave, there’s a whole world of collectible items beyond the standard movie memorabilia and autographed sports memorabilia collections. Autographed posters from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest are great home theater décor, certainly, and when it comes to collectibles, sports memorabilia is definitely popular, but there are other types of entertainment collectibles that also make excellent choices when you’re looking for collectible home décor. Here are just a few ideas beyond the typical that you might incorporate into your own decorating schemes.
Horse Photos
When people think of sports memorabilia, they tend to gravitate toward baseball memorabilia, such as baseball cards, or basketball memorabilia, like autographed jerseys and basketballs. There are other sporting events that aren’t quite as visible, but still have a heavy following, such as horse racing. Photographs of Triple Crown winners are always popular collectibles, with Secretariat photos leading the way. You can even get celebrity autographs with your horse racing memorabilia – the most sought after horse photos are those signed by the jockey that rode the horse to victory.
Hollywood Memorabilia
The longest-running and most popular movie franchises have spawned some of the most popular movie memorabilia available. From a signed James Bond poster featuring the autographs of various actors who have portrayed the famous international spy to posters from the LOTR trilogy or a signed Star Wars poster, there are hundreds of choices to display your love of Hollywood. Beyond movie posters, however, you can look for home theater décor that includes celebrity autographs on collectibles or on their own photographs and on theater bills and other collectibles that were used on movie sets. The most popular movie memorabilia often includes autographed photographs with items that were used on set or with movie posters advertising LOTR, Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and other popular movies.
Political Memorabilia
For some people, nothing is more entertaining than the world of politics, and there’s no doubt that our presidents are among the biggest celebrities on the world stage. Framed presidential memorabilia seldom commands the high prices realized by movie memorabilia and autographed sports memorabilia – which often makes political memorabilia a great entry point for beginning collectors. From framed, autographed photos of presidents to collections of campaign buttons in shadow box frames, presidential and political memorabilia can be a hot ticket item at auctions – and unusual accents in your home décor.
Choosing movie memorabilia, autographed sports memorabilia and other types of memorabilia for your home is easier when you rely on a trusted dealer. Always purchase your collectibles from a company you can trust to verify everything they sell.
