It is easier to sell something stolen like this than one might think. When my posters were stolen several years back, they were given as collateral for a loan to a collector than is very much involved in our hobby. I mean nobody leaves over $30,000 worth of posters with someone for a $2500

I truly hate thieves; nothing lower than taking things that do not belong to you. I hope he's caught and punished accordingly. (I must say that this is also either a very selective thief or someone who's on crack if they think it'll be an easy, anonymous sell/fence.) One question, though: how

Hey there, This is a list of pressbooks in which I would love to own to scan, or just trade or remit to scan (as they are so rare, or at least I’ve had trouble finding them the past five years or so.) They are mainly MGM pressbooks ranging in the 1927 to 1934 timeframe. I would add one for

Poster Man Big Dan, You know I’ll look out for it since that little house in the upper left-hand corner (with the horns protruding from it) is by Hirschfeld. Heritage last sold one in 2008 for just under 10K, so for California law it is ten times the grand theft larceny lower limit. I feel

I guess I come at this from a collector view. And I have never sold anything that I have bought before. So I am probably a little naïve about it all. And if I was selling a lot of items, then of course I would want a maximum of options to sell through. To me the relationship between

I think you will see that through this move, Heritage will eliminate people listing lower priced items. As a business if they can focus on higher ticket items there is a higher return per item.There is a fixed labor cost per item you list, and as a business obviously you want to
