Mopo-ers,
I received a few emails within about 1/2 hour of sending this message out yesterday. Since that time I have not received one message from the MOPO group on this or any other topic, now almost exactly 24 hours. Don't know if there is a MOPO problem (in which case this post probably won't get seen), a problem with my email account receiving MOPO emails, or if it has just been slow going for postings on MOPO in the past day.
At any rate, if by chance anyone has tried to contact me within the past day regarding any of these items, please try contacting me again at a different email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For what it is worth, both of the Bogart cards are sold, all other items are still available.
Dave

Hello Mopo folks,I have a few nice posters and lobby cards that I thought I would offer to MOPO members for sale privately, just to try something different. Sci-fi/horror and some great noir/neo-noir titles, etc.. All U.S. material as follows:(1) Curse Of The Demon 1957 1-sheet, Near Mint +, unused, no pinholes, tiny 1/8-inch tear in upper border. Virtually no fold wear, clean and white. Impressive, finest copy I've seen. $1,000.(2) This Island Earth 1964R 1-sheet, Near Mint, unused, no pinholes, 1/4-inch tear in upper border at center fold. Virtually no fold wear, clean and white. Same art as the 1956 1-sheet, but red and blue duotone. Nice piece for 1/10th the cost of the original. $150.(3) High Sierra 1941 BEST scene lobby card, Near Mint/Mint, unused, no pinholes. Close-up portrait scene of Bogart and Lupino in front of bus. Spectacular Warner Bros. linen card with minimal toning -- unless you pull one of these out of the paper sleeve of an unused set, you won't find a finer copy. $1,000.(4) Out Of The Past 1947 scene lobby card, Near Mint, unused, no pinholes. One of the better cards in the set featuring Mitchum and Greer in the casino. A few light abrasions in upper border, otherwise Near Mint/Mint. $300.(5) Murder My Sweet 1944 BEST scene lobby card, Excellent +, 3 pinholes. Classic suggestive noir scene with Dick Powell lighting Claire Trevor's cigarette. $200.(6) Kiss Of Death 1947 insert, 3 standard folds, Very Good+, no pinholes, a few clean tears w/white tape repairs on back. Widmark's classic debut as Tommy Udo, tough noir title to find paper on. Stark in color and design, but unlike the 1-sheet the insert at least has a bit of green and yellow. $450.(7) How Green Was My Valley 1941 scene lobby card, Near Mint/Mint, unused, no pinholes. One of the better cards in the set featuring O'Hara, McDowall, Pidgeon, and just about everybody except Crisp. $125.(8) Sundown 1941 insert, Very Fine, paper-backed by Studio C. Prior to backing poster was very clean with no pinholes or edge tears, 3 standard folds, with a small tear in Cabot's helmet on center fold. Touch-up to this tear and the horizontal folds as is typical. Borders were not airbrushed at my request to maintain original background/border colors. Scarce original 1941 release poster for this title with one of the most beautiful portraits of a young Gene Tierney ever put on paper. Still sealed in shrinkwrap as received from Studio C. Ships flat, requires 5 lbs. shipping charges. Will not ship outside U.S. due to package size. $450.(9) One Girl's Confession 1953 insert, rolled, Fine/Very Fine, 1 tiny pinhole at the edge of Moore's forearm. Poster looks to have had one light center fold and also has a few light horizontal bends, but has been stored flat and displays very much like a rolled copy. Minor and light professional pencil touch on Cleo Moore's sweater. The other poster sizes for this title have completely different and far less effective graphics. Although this poster does not receive much recognition, this insert (and the 3-sheet) sports one of the all-time great "bad girl" images in a full-length format (cool tagline too). $275.(10) The Oklahoma Kid 1939 scene lobby card, Very Good minus, tear and pinholes as can be seen in image (have included a larger image on this one). Best Bogart card in the set. I have listed this card numerous times on eBay with no success, and while not perfect, it is still a very respectable example of a very tough Bogart card. Now lowering the price to a giveaway level, hoping that someone will give it a good home before I use it to wrap fish. $150.Larger image and more details available on any poster or lobby card upon request. Satisfaction guaranteed, as always.Please contact me at my email address below if interested in any of these items. First come, first served basis of course. Money orders, personal checks, Paypal accepted. All posters very securely packaged. 2 lbs. shipping required for most items (Sundown insert 5 lbs.), plus insurance; only exact shipping fees will be charged. Airmail Parcel Post and Global Express with insurance available for international shipments.Dave ResslerCool Calm And Collectible, Ohioemail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
