Just my view as a pro that i was asked for.
I don't mean to drive anyone away but don't try and tell
me what a great deal you have when you are over-priced!
And I checked out your online store and other ebay prices.
Since you are so touchy i won't comment.
Perhaps, with your 25 years, you are living in the past?
I only have about 20 years of experience.
(And get paid $300 an hour for my appraisals from insurance companies,
law firms and businessmen)

I think I'll move to another "affinity" group. My 25 years of
experience in dealing movie memorabilia from Sothebys to Camden to
Odyssey to Wolffers -- from Cinemonde in San Francisco must be
meaningless and without merit.

They are almost worthless to still collectors who value image and
image quality.
They are almost worthless to image archives who could sell the
image to a user due such as a book or article.
The stars in the images are really not in demand except for Loy and
then it's usually a racy pre-code shot
or a famous photographer still that would sell at the level desired.
As a poster it also almost worthless as it's not really attractive.
So that just leaves it's value as a curio.
It is an interesting item but that doesn't mean it's worth any money.
Rare doesn't translate to valuable or desired.
The fairest way to evaluate it is to let the auction marketplace
find it's value.
Something the seller obviously doesn't want to do.
When one appraises you have to come up with a price span since you
really can't nail
down an exact price due to various circumstances.
I could se these going from $25 to $100.
But really in the lower range.
Sorry.
And yes ebay is being ruined by overpriced sellers to afraid to
really
holds auctions.
I applaud Bruce Hershenson and all the sellers who hold auctions
with low
starting points. They know that "auction fever" brings better price
action
than an over priced sale with "free" shipping!

i agree with your thoughts about ebay as an auction site and
selling there in that manner..
just from a glance at these 2 items... they both seem "priced
rightly" at a very high level.
with ebay becoming nothing more that a marketplace to buy and NOT
bid, this is happening more and more.
can i ask you what value you would put on these 2 cards?
best.

Please.....
as a professional appraiser in this area I would have to disagree
when you say they are "priced right."
Besides ebay is an auction site. I guess you're not confident
for these items to find their real value in the market place.

HELLO MOPOERS --
I've just listed these two 1929 items on EBAY. I think they are
pretty incredible and priced right:
THE PAGAN (1929), $375.
http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-PAGAN-RARE-TINTED-LOBBY-CARD-PHOTOS-RAMON-NOVARRO_W0QQitemZ110417790303
HARDBOILED ROSE (1929), $275.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARDBOILED-ROSE-RARE-TINTED-LOBBY-CARD-PHOTO-MYRNA-LOY_W0QQitemZ110417790722
These are a very interesting view into film marketing in the
1920s silent movie period!
