*The very best online database of movie poster sales results and images just got MUCH better: tens of thousands of images added to our Auction History Database <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html>! * Our *Auction History Database <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html> * contained over 900,000 results from our past auctions over the past 24 years, but only 700,000 or so images. Why were around 200,000 images missing? They were from auctions from mid-2005 and before, when we did not "save" our auctions in their entirety, and just the results, and while we *DID* save the images separately, we had no easy way to "match up" the 200,000 or so images to the correct results.
So on those records we placed an image that said "No image at present, but we are working on it!" (see below). *NOW*, we have spent tens of thousands of dollars "matching up" those missing images, and we have started added them in! First, we were able to find tens of thousands of images where we were 100% they were "exact matches", so we added those to those records with no explanation (because none was needed!). But there were tens of thousands of others where we had sold the item in question many times, and it would have been next to impossible to match up all those, so for those we simply added a high quality image of that item, along with the words "*STOCK IMAGE*" added to the right side of each. What does this mean? Here is an example where we did this: <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/1276879.html>----------> [image: #227 RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK 40x60 '81 Ford]<http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/1276879.html> And check out the results at this link: * http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/POLICE%2520CALL/sort/13/archive.html <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/film_title/POLICE%20CALL/sort/13/archive.html>*. You'll see that each of the Police Call three-sheets have the same "stock" image *AND *that five additional results for that title have images (only one record for that title is now "missing" an image, and we will be loading that image - and many like it - soon as well!). When you view an item's page, you will see a note "*This is an eMoviePoster.com stock image. What does this mean?*", and when you click on it, it explains the following: "For the vast majority of our auctions from mid-2005 to present, we *ALWAYS*show an image that is the actual item we auctioned. But in the case of items we auctioned from mid-2005 and before (except for most of the items from our major auctions and our books), we usually don't have the exact image clearly identified in our database, so for those few items we place "This is an eMoviePoster.com stock image. What does this mean?" underneath those images to alert the viewer that the image may not be the exact example of the item that was auctioned. This means that you shouldn't judge the value of the item based on the condition of the image shown, and it is also possible that the wrong style is shown, but this is not so important because these results are from long ago (as far back as 1990!), and pricing information from that long ago is usually not very helpful!" What does this leave? Most of the remaining "missing images" are either ones where we likely have the image, but we are *NOT* 100% certain it is right, so when we add those in we will have a "disclaimer" stating that, and we also have the most difficult cases, which are lobby cards pr stills where we don't know exactly which of the eight lobby cards we auctioned, and what image the stills had, so we will have to come up with a different solution for those. But we will not rest until we fill in *EVERY* missing image! If you are one of the tens of thousands of people who use this *Auction History Database <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html>*, then you will see how many more images it contains the next time you use it. And if you are one of the few movie poster collectors who does *NOT* use it, why not go right now to the *Auction History Database <http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html>* and see what you have been missing, but beware, because it can be *VERY* addictive! -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
