And of course, just as always there are no insane "buyers premiums". 100% of the money raised goes towards paying some of Baby Gavin's medical expenses (the below explains this charity). What was the origin of the special auction? Gavin Ryne Winslow was born on February 23, 2006, with major medical problems. His kidneys did not function properly, and he needed a kidney transplant to survive. Because he was not covered by insurance, many of his fellow residents of Wisconsin started fundraising efforts to pay for his very expensive medical needs. One of these fine people was Gino Salomone, the entertainment reporter for WISN-TV ABC in Milwaukee, WI. Gino had the excellent idea of using his position to obtain signed posters for current movies from movie studios, and then auctioning the posters, with the proceeds going to the fund to pay for Gavin's medical expenses. He contacted various movie studios, and once he explained the purpose of his request, they were happy to provide him with posters from many different movies, and they had the stars (and sometimes the director or producers) personally sign the posters. *His efforts resulted in 19 signed posters, most of which are signed by more than one celebrity connected with the movie * (they were signed at press junkets held to promote the movies, where the various stars and/or directors or producers were appearing in person. Once he had the posters assembled from the various studios, Gino turned to Bruce Hershenson, whom he had purchased posters from as a collector, and asked Bruce if he would auction the posters on eBay as part of his regular auctions, giving all the proceeds to maybe Gavin's medical fund. Bruce was happy to comply, but he soon discovered that eBay had many restrictions on charity auctions, as well as restrictions on selling autographed material, and he sadly soon came to the conclusion that there was virtually no way to run this auction on eBay. But a couple of months later, Bruce decided to take his auctions off of eBay, and he asked Gino if it would make sense to make his first non-eBay auctions be the 19 autographed posters that Gino had obtained. Gino agreed, and that is the genesis of this auction. In order to raise as much money for this worthy charity as possible, Bruce is not taking any commission of any kind, giving a free set of his 25 books to every buyer in this auction, and not charging *ANY* shipping to any U.S. buyer (neither on the posters themselves or on the set of books)! Note that, although there was a delay in starting this auction, baby Gavin has already received his life saving kidney transplant on January 3, 2008 from the dedicated team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But his medical needs are far from over, and we hope everyone participating in this auction will bid generously on these 19 posters, so that his family will receive some much-needed aid as a result. *For more information on baby Gavin and his family, go to http://www.savebabygavin.com/, which gives a history of what has happened to him to this point, and his family's present-day situation. We at eMoviePoster.com give our greatest thanks to Gino Salomone for selflessly obtaining these posters for this auction. *I certainly hope some other MoPo members besides Glenn will place bids in this auction! In addition to getting a cool poster and 25 books postpaid (in the U.S.) you get to see how my new time extended auctions work, and you can get ready for the "real thing" when I add around 700-1,000 folded one-sheets on my new site, just as these are closing, next Tuesday, April 17th.* Have you not yet registered to bid there? Go to http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Registration.taf and get registered and place a bid or two!
