No private collector owns original issue US one sheets for all the Academy Award Winning Best Pictures. In fact, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doesn't even own them all. They have all but 1 (Cavalcade).
For the 79 Academy Award winning films, The Best Picture Collection contains 108 original issue posters, which represent all but 3 of the historic AA Best Picture winner one sheets. The Best Picture Collection contains 103 individual one sheets, 3 window cards and 2 lobby card sets. This one-of-a-kind collection took more than 15 years to amass and includes such rarities as a 1929 Broadway Melody one sheet (to my knowledge, the Academy owns the only other copy), a 1932 Grand Hotel one sheet (to my knowledge, the Academy owns the only other copy), a 1930 All Quiet on the Western Front one sheet (to my knowledge, there are only 3 in existence), a 1934 It Happened One Night, Style B one sheet (to my knowledge there are only 3 in existence), a 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty, Style D one sheet (to my knowledge there are only 4 in existence), a 1939 Gone With the Wind, Style CF one sheet (to my knowledge the Academy owns the only other copy of this beautiful "Plume" style) and not 1 but 2 original styles of the incredibly illusive 1942 Mrs. Miniver one sheet. The only one sheets not included in The Best Picture Collection are original US studio issues for 1928 Wings, 1931 Cimarron and 1933 Cavalcade. Although those studio issue one sheets are not included, the films are well represented in the collection. An original run 1928 Wings "other company style" US one sheet is included as well as an original run studio issue 1929 Wings US Style A “with sound” one sheet. A full original 1928 Wings lobby card set and original Style A and Style B window cards are also included. A beautiful original issue 1931 Cimarron Swedish one sheet along with a full original 1931 Cimarron US lobby card set are included, and perhaps the world’s only existing original 1933 Cavalcade US window card is included. The Best Picture Collection also includes multiple style one sheets for many films, including hard-to-find advances, or even "unreleased" styles such as the fantastic unreleased style for 1973's The Sting (to my knowledge there are only 3 in existence). The Best Picture Collection truly is the world's most complete private collection of Academy Award Winning Best Picture one sheets, and it can be yours. _________________________________________________________________________
