Hey Allen and all,
A few years back I had a customer that had been framing with me for over 10
years. I would see him a few times a year. One day, I see him coming to the
front door of my shop, both arms loaded with posters. He got in the door and I
asked him why the sudden mass linenbacking and framing of material. He informed
me he was getting married in two months and needed to get it all done before
his new bride found out how much he spent on this hobby. We were laughing
around here for days as we framed everything up. He still frames, now and
again, but now has a line of beautiful offset lithos he created himself (all
graphics of our local California beach cities), and sells at art fairs. Rarely
does he buy or frame movie posters anymore.
My favorite are the guys that get married and then get their spouses into
collecting movie posters also. That's thinkin'...........

True ... it is one heckuva auction.
I agreed to go on a 'buying diet' until both households have melded
into one ... mmmm ... I wonder how original this sounds ... "Gee honey, look
what I found in the back of the closet?"

I received my Heritage auction catalog today. I am always
excited when it gets here to have a quick look. I go through it carefully later
on in the evening when I am home. First off, the thing is really heavy. It's
like the coffee table edition. There were so many great things in this catalog,
many that I haven't seen in a long time. The thing that really caught my
attention was the great diversity and quantity in the different genres. There
are so many things that I would love to have. I don't need them, but I want
them. It's been awhile since a catalog had me thinking about bidding on so many
items. I admit, I also like to know what I already own is going for. I will
probably have to narrow down my desires to one, maybe two items, if that. But
it's fun looking and, of course, I am usually lucky to get to frame so many of
the items that sell in the auction, so I often get to see them in person.
That's a lot of fun!!
Anyway, I wanted to congratulate Grey on putting together what
looks to be a fantastic auction. I can hardly wait. It has become an event
around my shop showing the auction live on my computer so we can all take a
peek in now and again during the day. Happy Collecting everyone!!
