While I knew Claude had a large poster collection, never in my most vivid imagination was I prepared for what I saw and I would say without hesitation if you haven't seen it you ain't seen nothing yet and it ain't just posters, promotional and prop items and vintage mechanical arcade games as well as a variety of statuettes of movie stars. Dr. Volin should be all over it. I was there to pick up a few frames Claude was selling but came away feeling it would have been worth the two hour trip from long island just to see the collection or should I say part of it. It's one thing to see these posters in catalogues it's another to see them framed on the wall, and were talking a lot of walls. Unfortunately time was limited and Claude was having work done in the house but he gave me a quick tour including a look at his most prized poster the only known copy of a one sheet for Charley Chan The Black Camel. As many of you may know, Claude is a huge Chan poster collector. My son was with me and snapped a couple of pictures(me on the right Claude on the left) It really was heaven..in NJ? go figure...click links for pictures..best Alan http://www.impostorsrevelations.com/images/088.JPG http://www.impostorsrevelations.com/images/091.JPG 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.
