Three times every week out we auction hundreds of items that sell for low, low prices. Ourcurrent Sunday items (247 glass slides, movie magazines, exhibitor magazines, German programs, scripts and bulk lots closing TODAY, May 16th, includes lots of excellent items still at low, low prices! Many of the poster and other bulk lots are still under $1 per item! If YOU have never discovered the great values offered by these uncommon movie collectibles, it is not too late to start! Many of them sell for FAR less than posters or lobby cards from the same titles (AND WE HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF GREAT POSTER, LOBBY CARD, AND MAGAZINE "BULK LOTS" THIS SUNDAY!), and some of them are from titles you virtually NEVER see at all! There are LOTS of wonderful items in these auctions you will likely not see any time soon, so you should surely check them out, even if solely to "window shop"! Isn't it time YOU discovered the eMoviePoster.com difference? How great are the current values? Well, these are ending in just 8 hours, and they include 28 that don't even have an opening bid, 63 that are still at $1 each or have no bid, 95 at $3 each or under, and 110 at $5 each or under! And there are lots of "fun" items in these "bottom 110" items including bulk lots and 1920 Photoplays with incredible covers by Rolf Armstrong, most of which are $4 to $6 each, which seems pretty insane to me!! Of course, once you get OVER just $5 (and remember that you can never ever get an item for less than $15 from our competitors with their INSANE $14 buyers premiums!), you start hitting lots and lots of "better" titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at VERY reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in the past, including: 3h159 CLEOPATRA glass slide '17 different image of Theda Bara as Queen of the Nile on her throne! 3h001 LOT OF 235 FOLDED ONE-SHEETS lot '65 - '85 Empire Strikes Back R81, Pennies From Heaven + ! 3h002 LOT OF 231 FOLDED ONE-SHEETS lot '57 - '96 The Mechanic, Poltergeist, Private Benjamin + more! 3h030 LOT OF 48 UNFOLDED INSERTS lot '67 - '85 Jeremiah Johnson, Empire of the Ants, Caveman + more! 3h018 LOT OF 44 WINDOW CARDS lot '63 - '69 Outdoorsman, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Firecreek + more! 3h003 LOT OF 118 FOLDED ONE-SHEETS lot '60s - '90s Rooster Cogburn, High Rolling in a Hot Corvette! 3h017 LOT OF 74 TRIMMED WINDOW CARDS lot '56 - '70 On Her Majesty's Secret Service + many more! 3h193 POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL glass slide '17 Mary Pickford as a sheltered 11 year-old girl! 3h016 LOT OF 24 FOLDED INSERTS lot '49 - '78 Island Women, Station Six Sahara, Dear Brigitte + more! 3h005 LOT OF 52 FOLDED ONE-SHEETS lot '48 - '91 Halloween II, Hannie Caulder, Risky Business + more! 3h004 LOT OF 59 FOLDED ONE-SHEETS lot '65 - '96 King Kong, Flashdance, Theatre of Blood + more! 3h200 WILLIAM S.

Your money goes further with us! Some auction houses treat their buyers as though they are "marks" waiting to be "fleeced"! They SAY their auctions are "$1 no reserve", but actually they are "$15 no reserve" when take into account their minimum $14 buyers premium. They SAY many of their items are in excellent condition, but all too often the buyer receives an item that is in far lesser condition than they said. They EVEN trick you with the images, using "stock images" or "enhanced images". Worst of all, some use "house bidders" who seem to have a spooky ability to bid just under the amount the real bidders were bidding! But in eMoviePoster.com auctions, "$1 no reserve" means just that, and every week we sell lots and lots of items for just $1, $2, or $3! And every item is honestly described, with a super-sized unenhanced image of every item. And every item is truly sold, and to the highest bid placed by real bidders! This week, we are auctioning over 1,500 lots in our Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday auctions, and it is virtually a certainty that some percentage of them will sell for "bargain" prices, and there may be some absolute "steals", and because we have such a HUGE selection, you can easily find extra items to add to your order and not pay any extra U.S. shipping, and that can be a huge savings! Remember that, unlike the majority of "hobbies", where the money you spend on your hobby is gone forever, the money you spend buying movie paper will almost certainly be recovered the day you ever sell your collection (and many, many collectors have made lots of money on their collection over time, because unlike stocks, vintage movie paper continually rises over time!). So if you are one of our very few past customers who have NOT yet registered to bid in our auctions (it just takes a minute or two to do so), why not go to our Registration page and sign up now, and you will join the other 7,168 movie paper collectors who have already signed up to bid on our auction site? And if you are one of the 6,100+ in our e-mail club, you get our 9 Vintage Hollywood Posters books with the purchase of any ten items from any of our three sets of auctions, and you get all of our 17 in print books with the purchase of any fifteen items from any of our three sets of auctions. YOU CAN PURCHASE OUR 10 (or 15) LEAST EXPENSIVE ITEMS AND THEN SELL THE BOOKS ON EBAY FOR WAY MORE THAN YOU PAID FOR EVERYTHING (as many dealers have proven over and over)!Don't forget the many bulk lots offered this Sunday! Savvy dealers are scarfing up the great bulk lots we offer, and are re-selling them item by item and making big bucks doing so! If YOU have been looking for a source for inexpensive inventory (or an instant collection!), don't let the many great bulk lots we offer pass you by. Often items within each bulk lot sell for just a couple of dollars each or sometimes much less! Got to http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/15.html to view them, but you only have 8 hours left to do so, because they start ending at 3 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON (NOT this evening!)! And now you can browse the items in ALL of galleries at one time in our All Auctions gallery at http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/all.html! Bruce Hershenson and the other 26 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.S.About the exhibitor magazines we are auctioning this Sunday Since we started the Sunday auctions, we have been auctioning amazing collections of glass slides, movie magazines, presskits, and German programs. Three weeks ago, we added a new kind of collectible to our Sunday auctions! These are exhibitor magazines, which, unlike movie magazines, were SOLELY sent to theater owners, which makes them far more rare than regular movie magazines. In the 1910s and 1920s, there were lots of different titles of these magazines, and theater owners would subscribe to them so that they could keep up with the latest releases, decide which ones to book for their theater, and also see ads for current movies plus ads for accessories that theater owners needed. Each issue is filled with lots of information on then-current movies, including how much they were taking in (because that was the information of most interest to theater owners). All of these magazines are in remarkable condition, and they are very rarely offered for sale! We have been consigned a fairly large collection of exhibitor magazines, and we will continue adding them to our Sunday auctions, as time permits. P.P.S.About the original vintage movie scripts we just began auctioning in this Sunday's auctions Because we have now auctioned all of the presskits we were consigned, we added another type of collectible to our Sunday auctions. THESE ARE ORIGINAL VINTAGE MOVIE SCRIPTS! We will have an informative paragraph about them on those auctions.Note that EVERY one of the scripts we are auctioning are 100% genuine and from the time the movie first came out (there are unscrupulous dealers on the Internet who take original scripts and copy them and then sell those copies as if they were originals). If you are new to collecting vintage scripts, here are some important things to know: Please realize that the prices of scripts do NOT correlate to the prices of the corresponding posters from those movies! There are cases where the posters sell for little and the scripts are quite valuable, and vice versa. KNOW THAT ORIGINAL VINTAGE SCRIPTS ARE FAR MORE RARE THAN POSTERS FROM THE CORRESPONDING TITLES! An initial outline or treatment would have had a tiny number of them printed, perhaps 5 or 10. An early draft prior to a final shooting script of a movie might have had 10 or 20 copies produced. And even a final shooting script of a film might have had a couple of hundred copies printed. And, of course, very few of these scripts survive, because no one valued them at the time. This was true all the way into the 1990s (long after collectors began placing a premium value on vintage posters, very few collectors sought out original vintage scripts, which means there is an extreme rarity of even 1990s scripts, and very few authentic scripts of the last forty years are offered for sale or auction) Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
