I have a stack of unused window cards. No great titles - probably all in the
$10-$35 range. Certainly no LAWRENCE's but a few thing that colelctots might
like.
Of course unless they are very thin, and many w/cs are not, the only safe way
to ship a w/c is flat, because they are almost impossible to roll
tight enough without using a very wide diameter tube to avoid paper crinkle.
And if you are using a gorilla tube, then that's about the same weight as
boards that size and suitable strength.. which means that postage on such an
item seems ludicrous - esp. if it's to the other side of the world. And so the
eBay shipping cost nazis come out of their cells.
Now with something like LAWRENCE here, or indeed any title that someone REALLY
wants to arrive in pristine shape, even say a NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S or
similar value title, and are willing to pay the extra, and tell the seller etc
etc, and this turns up, then it's time to see red.
It's enough to give you the shits, as my mother used to say.

OK, MoPo'ers, take a look:
Despite excruciating shipping instructions to the seller of an unfolded
"Lawrence of Arabia" window card -- for which I paid an even $50.00
out-the-door for -- this is what arrived today:
The seller goes by "kandinsky55" at eBay.
Her original eBay posting is here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110525153464
You already know what I'm thinking and how frustrated/angry I am -- I paid
$50 for this, hardly a rare item -- but it was in super shape, no flaws.
I'm now looking for an UNFOLDED replacement for this -- and of course --
I'm also still looking for the ROADSHOW STYLE, the latter for which I'll pay
$900-$1K in super condition. -d.
