[MOPO] Certified Stills

[Doug Ball]

I received copies of the Heritage auction today. What a GREAT job your doing Grey! I keep thinking the Heritage auctions can't get any better than the last, only to be proven wrong!   I've noticed that all the stills/photos from the Culver Picture Service files are certified, although this might start a debate about certifying movie posters, I do like the idea doing this for stills. Lets face it, one, it would help authenticate them,  would also protect them from damage and finger prints. last not lease of course, grading them to the condition that they truly are. Stills do not need to be stacked, shuffled, and flipped around like a pile of magazines or news papers. I believe still collecting is one of the most interesting, yet  highly ignored areas in our hobby!   Of all the things I collect, my still collection is my most prized!   Any thoughts from other collectors on this subject? Does this look to be the way of the future in our field?   I still do not agree with capsulation of posters in general, although I do think there should be a better universal way of grading.   Doug Ball Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
