Owning a 35mm print is legal.
I actually think that owning a 35mm print is illegal. Unless the laws have been changed here in the US, I think consumers are only allowed to own 8mm and 16mm prints. I remember hearing a story about how the actor Roddy McDowell had his home raided, and his collection of 35mm films confiscated. Aside from trailers, I think they're banned from eBay, as well.
EDIT: I've since learned that owning a 35mm print is not automatically illegal. It depends upon the circumstances.
