Rick,
 
JR, among other things, is the one that single handedly launched the internet auction site MPB (Movie Poster Bid).

Subject: [MOPO] Are The Inmates In Charge Of The Nuthouse?

Hi,
 
  I've been collecting and dealing in movie posters for close to 30 years. Sometimes it amazes not only how much angry diatribe has taken over MoPo, but it seems as if certain members ,who act as if they have all the right answers, are so often wrong.  ie:  a 40x60 has ALWAYS been a 40x60---never in my years of collecting have I head it referred to as a "2 Sheet".  There have been other examples as well.  Hey, I know some of you definitely aren't so keen to any insight I might have, but, jeez, don't certain "high level" individuals on this list (however they might be viewed as such)  have something better to do than spend hours bitching and complaining about this person and that person.  Lines upon lines of print that virtually signifies nothing....anger...resentment...petty crap.  As a writer myself, if I expended as much energy as the supposed "chosen few" on this list, I'd have a novel written by now!
Enough said.  Below I thought I'd list a couple of my BEST POSTER FINDS.  (By the way, can somebody please tell me who the hell is J.R.?)
      Years ago, I bought an original Jazz Singer US lobby card for $40---a few years later, an original Mummy (Karloff) US lobby card for $75.  Also, an original Scarface (Muni,1932) US 1/2 Sheet for about $150.  There are more to mention, but I'll stop here.
         Thanks for listening.  Okay, you vicious hounds out there...attack me!
