I collected movie posters, lobby cards, stills, etc. for many years.
Unfortunately, I ended up selling much of my collection to pay for my
college tuition.  Prices are now much higher than they were when I
was in the market.  I bought the one-sheet poster from "Taxi Driver"
for $8.00 back in 1976.  I'm sure that's gone up quite a bit.

I bought many posters through the mail, but I also went to used book stores,
nostalgia shops, movie memorabilia shops, movie and comic book conventions,
etc.  As beesvax!katz pointed out, the posters from re-issues of films are
usually not very interesting.  Also, even if you love a particular film, you
might not love the posters that were created to advertise that film.  That
is why it is a good idea to actually see the poster or at least get a good
description of the poster before buying.

Of course, you should protect your investment by getting it framed immediately.
