    Hi,

    I have 8 film stills in an envelope which are from a promotion for Gone with the wind. They were used in a cinema in England in 1970 so they have a few hole from pins or tacks which were used for hanging them. They are in great condition. Would they be worth anything? Does anyone know how I'd find out?

    I have no idea about whether this particular set of stills is worth anything, but based on what I've seen when it comes to rare or collectable comics sales, I'd suggest the following - Do some research into film memorabilia and collectables. You might be able to find price guides which should give you an indication of how rare your set is, and what sort of price range it might go for depending on condition. It might also be worth finding an auction house who specialise in film memorabilia and collectables.

    I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of stills, stills I have acquired over a very long career. Stills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

    Without really knowing anything about the stills market, I feel like ones for a high profile rerelease of what was (and still is, adjusting for inflation) the highest grossing film of all time aren't likely to hold much value.
