Hi Dave - started in 1977 selling in many movie collector papers and
magazines mail order.
started advertising in papers like Film collectors world, Big reel ,
classic Images, Hollywood Studio magazine,
Comic Buyers Guide, Goldmine, Antique Trader, Ab Bookman, Rolling Stone,
PREMIRE,( we were one of 1st ads in classifieds) Fangoria,Starlog,-
Baby Boomer, the Globe, weekly world news, The Robb report, antique
Toy world,, American cinematographer, Boxoffice,, Motion picture and
film directory, Decor magazine plus many many More!
we also subscrided to these and most industry trade papers and
magazines.. I saved years worth and when I moved sold them , gave away,
or took to dump..... ( I filled a Ranger pick-up 2 -times of my archives...
I still have some as I treasured them..
Plus I collected old catalogs for referance like auction catalogs and
books on collections in almost all the cossover collectables as Movie
offer such a wide variety of collections liek props and soundtracks and
gear and films
Specializing a wide variety of periodicals...many movie magazine and
then also all the others like Life, Time, newsweek, Colliers, Sat e
Post, and you name it... We have bought the entire periodical Librarys
of Public librarys when they would be reducing... at times 100,000
pieces and then also private collections ..
Same with poster , Films, and gear, and Books , Stills, etc....
advertiseing On Televison.. locally On Like Carson and Letterman and
on Morning news
and other mediums like Radio and local print.
Catalogs- and on product labels and packaging. If you have any
Paramount VHS videos of Star Trek
Youll see our products as we made stuff for Paramounts Catalog, Disney,
and Warner Bros. catalogs.
The early days had lots of info to sort through... however there were
tons of things in warehouses that
where old and in storage years....... Now its just moved into more
storage...probably in better condition
Now that people are downsizing its reappearing again..
I remember Veto Stasinaitis of Chicago teeling me there were no places
to advertise films in the 60s so he
started in Popular photography mag..

Hi, Mopoers:
I've been reading the tributes to Sam Rubin and am truly sorry I never
got a chance to know him. Seems like he was a pioneer and an important
mainstay of the hobby, especially in the early days.
Things, of course, have changed a lot since the arrival of the
Internet. I know in other collecting areas, the result has been the
almost complete disappearance of periodicals dedicated to the hobby.
At one time, these magazines were a vital source of information, not
to mention marketplaces in and of themselves.
Alll this and the mentions of MCW and Classic Images got me wondering:
How many of you continue to read either one of these magazines and, if
so, do you read the hard copy or do you read it online? How many used
to read them but stopped?
I'd like to hear from the oldtimers but from newcomers, too. Have you
ever looked at them? For that matter, have you ever heard of them
before? (Probably not too many in this group who haven't, but you
never know.)
Dave
