Here are some interesting facts about 

movie posters:

*The oldest one we have uncovered was from 1972

*The 1970's era posters have a mix of actual stiff "posterboard" and flimsy thin paper

*Posters did not become two-sided (can be back-lit) until the later 80's and not all the studios printed them that way, but NOW that is the standard

 
*For a few years in the late 80's & early 90's, posters were folded, sent in an envelope and are creased! 
 

* Theaters rarely send more than 2 posters unless the Studio sends a teaser poster for early promotion
