Is this pin:

considered the marquee for the movie?

The person that runs the marquee group only counts pins for movies in the collection. They do not have Mickey & Minnie's 80th anniv marquee or Chip & Dale 2008 new year. I consider those marquee's before Sky High since they acutally have the marquee and not just the words.

I am the person who built the pin group Subjects - El Capitan Theater Hollywood Marquee

When I designed this pin group, I felt the purpose of the marquees was to celebrate the films that were released at the El Capitan. Not just characters; but the films. First and foremost it is a movie theater after all.

That is one of the reason why I include [Pinpics]40484[/Pinpics]: DSF - Sky High The El Capitan Theatre Hollywood. It was the first DSF pin made specifically for a movie (and not necessary a character like the Herbie pins). The Sky High pin serves the same spiritual function, if not in totality, of a marquee. I believe it belongs in the group. There are Marquee collectors who do not like that this pin is included. My advice is if they don't like the pin, then don't worry about it .

For these reason, I also did not include:
*[Pinpics]44776[/Pinpics]: DSF - Pin Trading Event - Marquee (Mickey & Minnie) Mystery Release
*[Pinpics]46918[/Pinpics]: DSF - 80th Anniversary of the El Capitan Theatre (Mickey & Minnie)
*[Pinpics]47541[/Pinpics]: DSF - 1st Anniversary Marquee - Logo (Mickey & Minnie)
*[Pinpics]59107[/Pinpics]: DSF - El Capitan Marquee - Happy New Year 2008 - Chip 'n' Dale (Surprise Release),
* [Pinpics]64744[/Pinpics]: DSF - El Capitan Marquee - Happy New Year 2008 - Chip 'n' Dale (Surprise Release) Pre production/Prototype,
* [Pinpics]79009[/Pinpics]: DSF Marquee Logo Pin and Pin Bag set, Pin 79011: DSF Marquee Logo Pin and Pin Bag set (pin only),
* [Pinpics]79011[/Pinpics]: DSF Marquee Logo Pin and Pin Bag set (pin only),
* [Pinpics]84943[/Pinpics]: DSF - Chip & Dale Sightseeing - At the El Capitan, and
* [Pinpics]90684[/Pinpics]: DSF - Jessica Rabbit Postcard and Pin Set.

In my opinion, these do not celeberate films, but simply are character pins that happen to have a marquee. As such, the do not count as marquees.

This my own personal belief. If you disagree, please add them to your collection; or create a second marquee set pinpics group; or even take over this marquee group.

sincerely yours,

Old threads with memory space on the Forum tend to be deleted after a while. I think this thread was about 8 month ago?

And remembering that alot has happen between then and now where some Marquees skyrocketed and some gained more value.

The pictures used have the old pinpics links. Need to be updated. But you can right click and see the pinpics pin #.

Yeah, I keep going back and forth on that one myself... I have the non-movie ones with the marquee design, but I don't consider them part of the 'Movie Marquee' collection as they have nothing to do with movies (other than the fact that it's a theater). In my mind, they are commemorative pins that have to do with the _building_, not movies in particular...

But, design-wise, they do fit-in... I just prefer the movie connection. To me, there's the movie marquee (i.e., with movie title), and the sign for the building/business (which happens to be the same backdrop as the marquee... :) ).

I've decided that I'm collecting them all, but only displaying the ones with movie titles in them. :cool:
But for each collector, it's just a matter of preference and where you draw the line on the marquees... Is a movie title more important? Is the marquee design more important? Or both together a requirement?
 
Heh, if you think you like it, grab one... I think it's still a fairly inexpensive pin, but if it suddenly becomes 'accepted' as a marquee pin, that could change. :)
