Robert.. i can
explain.. Its all a matter of Quantum Physics, the
standard theory and " string theory" its all so scientific..
That will enlighten you to My sentences.. and why Hershenson can
have the Highest and low prices.
It also explais " Howard the Duck".. and How Lucas can sell even
More
Star wars merchandise
even in a world Glut.
basically we are in multiple Dimensions that can overlap.. except
Canada was taken out of the Loop..
hense,, the missing Link... Or.. " slinky" or " silly" string
= CANADA,, hard to understand eh BOB?
its all very complex and would take a paragraph as Long as twenty
thousand
Taco bell burrittos laying end to end around the world 39 times.. to
really
give You a picture.
use this calculation and you will solve all world issues, and may
also
win the Canadian Lottery,
als you will be able to predict the value of a Insert from "
electric Horseman" will be worth
considereing age, size and probabilty of reprints in 2009.. which
will help in that new home purchase.
best to all at xmas!

With
the Christmas season fast upon us (and the recent passing of Ramadan
and
Hanukkah), it's once again time to give thanks for what the past year
has
brought us: Thanks
to the Rochester Connection for once again proving that no matter how
evil
you are, the authorities won't lift a finger to stop you. Thanks
to Tom Martin for showing us that a paragraph need be no longer than
two
sentences - and, that you don't even need to reach the end of the
second
sentence to start a new paragraph. Thanks
to eBay for their continual 'improvements' that are a Godsend for all
of
us users. Thank you for fully testing all of them so that they don't
ruin all our auctions. And, also, a hearty thank you for policing
fraudulent auctions (and fraudulent bidders) with the same determined
intensity
that you guard your bottom line (and VERO rights holders'). Thanks
to Bruce Hershenson for proving that it is not a contradiction in terms
to state that you get both the highest prices in the business for your
consignors as well as the greatest bargains for your bidders. Thanks
to Kirby McDaniel for bringing the term 'advanced prices' into the
common
lexicon. Thanks to
all the major auction houses for accurately describing every poster in
their auctions. Thanks
to David Lieberman for proving that long elusive posters such as the
Caddyshack
HS, ET HS, Animal House Ins., Shining HS and others actually exist -
and
not just in our imaginations. Thanks
to Randy Petersen for single-handedly doubling the price of every rare
modern poster classic... Thanks a whole hell of a lot!... Thanks
to myself for once again making it a whole year without opening my
mouth
and pissing off even a single other movie poster collector or dealer. Thanks
to Dan Rickard for knowing EVERYTHING. And, also a thanks for moving
his site off of my server - now I don't have to look forward to a
nuisance
suit from the Rochester boys. Thanks
to David Kusumoto for his re-emergence into poster commentary. And,
thank you for keeping all your posts short, concise and directly to the
point. Thanks to Dario
Casadei for running all his posts through a gramatical and spell
checker
before sending them on. Thanks
to people like Ioan Baicu, Rick Toler, Jack Gold, Sam Sarowitz, Marty
Davis,
Todd Feiertag and others for using the forums as more than just a
marketing
tool, passing their vast knowledge down to the public at large. Thanks
to Sue Heim for being the only framer who knows what they're talking
about. Thanks
to the UK dealers, who make me feel like a fool for pricing the same
poster
for 5% of what they're asking for it.... But, I guess, it also works
the other way: “Hey, my $50 eBay purchase is actually worth 500
Pounds!
Whoopee!!!” Thanks
to JR for believing that he could actually compete with eBay. Thanks
to Mrs.Miniver (and others) for starting their auctions at a reasonable
price and not gouging their customers. Thanks
to Eugene Hughes for his quick turn-around and pleasant demeanor. Thanks
to every American dealer that realizes that no one outside the US
deserves
to buy their posters, and refuses to sell to them. Thanks
to all the zero feedback Thai poster sellers who have such phenomenal
posters
to sell me. Thanks
again to eBay for respecting their customers and not charging for every
single little feature they provide on their auctions. Thanks
to PayPal for being so user friendly - and for taking the side of every
single zero feedback bidder over the seller with nothing but one
thousand
plus positives. Thanks
to Movie Poster Talk for proving that every idiot on Earth absolutely
LOVES
the Star Wars series. And,
as a side note, thanks to George Lucas for worrying more about his fans
than his pocket book. And,
while I'm side tracked, thanks to more than half the population of the
United States for proving that your country is not just filled with
xenophobic
bible-bashers - proving yet again, that the general public is too
stupid
to be allowed to vote (and this is coming from a political
conservative,
mind you). And, thanks for proving that greed ALWAYS wins out over
good and common sense. Thanks
to Hollywood for giving us one thought-provoking movie after another,
not
just the usual marketable crap. Hollywood
also deserves thanks for realizing that every classic film and
television
show was actually shoddily done in the first place - and for remaking
(and
vastly improving upon) them for us. And,
thanks to the MPAA for allowing us to see any kind of amoral Hollywood
crap, while restricting our viewing of anything that might make us
think
(or that shows life as it really is). And, thanks for letting
Hollywood
get away with anything they want while gang-raping any important indie
film that comes along - we really didn't want to see anything like that
anyways... And, thanks
to Jack Valenti for showing us that censorship really is better than
free
and open communication. Thanks
to the television networks for censoring themselves. It feels just
like the fifties again - only much more puritanical. Thanks
to Mel Gibson, for in the next couple of years, every second movie will
be a Biblical Epic. Thanks
to the Television Networks for realizing that Survivor was something
special:
it was new, it was unique and it was different - and not just because
it
was a reality show. And, thanks for not giving us clone after clone
after clone after clone after clone after clone after clone after clone
after clone after clone... And,
additional thanks go out to the Networks for showing us that shows like
Desperate Housewives and The Simple Life are actually sooooo much more
fulfilling than crappy cable shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Six
Feet
Under and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Thanks
to all the spammers out there for informing me of all the important
services
that I might have missed otherwise. I now realize that my penis is
WAY too small, and that a few small pills can help immensely - my
girlfriend
will be SO pleased. Thanks
to CGC (and others) for proving that there are many 'Experts' out there
that no one in the hobby has ever heard of before. Thanks
to all the eBay sellers out there that will relist the same poster a
hundred
times without it ever selling - without lowering the price even once. Thanks
to Christie's, Bonham's, Sotheby's, etc... for not padding their
shipping
fees. Thanks to the
major dealer out there who licenses and reprints their own posters -
and
then calls them originals. Thanks
to all you sellers still selling fake inserts. Every new collector
needs a rude awakening to the hobby... Thanks
to Paris Hilton, Kelly Osbourne, and Jessica and Ashlee Simpson for
proving
that you don't need even an ounce of talent to become rich and famous. Thanks
to Fox News for showing that the news and the truth don't necessarily
have
to be one and the same. And,
finally, thanks to Michael Moore for showing people that the Left can
mislead
and spin the truth just as well as the Right can. And,
to everyone I missed... may Santa bring you that lump of coal you
so rightfully deserve... Happy
Holidays everybody, Bob
