Went to see Harry Potter last night at the Odeon, and on the postcard rack they have a 5-card set for GI Joe.

Most of the theatres in my area that used to have postcard racks took them down. I miss them a lot. Used to get quite a lot of neat things...

The GI Joe one sounds great.

A postcard rack at a movie theatre??? I have NEVER heard of that!!! Can someone please explain that one to me?? I consider myself to be pretty savvy about all things movie-related, but this is a new one on me.....

Geoff,

This is in the UK at Odeon cinemas. Not sure if they have them in other chains.

But they have postcards sometimes proming upcoming films - there was a lovely Serenity set. Sometimes they are for TV programmes, when I picked up the GI Joe set there were also a few cards promoing books. Sometimes they are for completely random stuff that you wouldn't be interested in, in a million years.

The postcard racks that I have seen sometimes had movie postcards, tv show postcards, and product postcards.

The most popular postcards that I ever found there was the 3 starring ladies form Melrose Place in red lingere, and the Lost In Space Robot holding an Altoids tin. At the time I took healthy stacks of both and sold tons of them on Ebay for fairly healthy dollars.

The theatre was a National Amusements theatre I believe. They have since taken the rack down which is a shame.

Thats funny! I remember those postcard racks... I found the same Melrose and LIS cards here in Dallas. Still have a short stack of each too.

Rack cards were at one time all over the place but it's rare to find them now. I do have thousands of rack cards for trade. I have lists in many categories- film, TV, celebrity, advertising, music and more. I will trade racks for racks or racks for regular trading cards.
Write for my lists.

Uhh... Don't you mean millions ??
Bet they are sharp enough to shave with too!

But seriously, I don't see them around anymore... I'll check Zee vault to see what I have to trade

Not quite a million but close. I never tried shaving with them but I did get a nasty paper cut with one once.
