What a great story and what a wonderful collection Morris has. I've been lucky enough to pick up a few things for my collection from him, over the years.
As much fun as I've had completing my Best Picture collection, and dabbling in 50's Sci-Fi and Film Noir, I can only imagine how much fun he has had building a collection of such scale. Good luck to him on the sale.

About 25 years ago, my wife and I were traveling blue highways from west coast to the east coast for 6 weeks with about 15K in posters in the old SUV - We stopped at every junk shop we saw and traded posters for toys, just before toys took off. (I figured if movie posters were art - then toys were sculpture - and I couldn't get enough.) Had never met Morrie but called him and we arranged to meet at a Holiday Inn or something in Cleveland or Columbus - But the fun thing was we took over a banquet room and each took tables to lay out hundreds of posters. Imagine a 2 man movie poster convention. He was keen for a bunch of my not so valuable but tough to find titles from the 1950's to fill in blanks in his holdings And I went for anything that looked cool - My favorite was the kicker in the deal - a Belgian Flash Gordon on linen he gave me - still a cherished piece. One thing I can say about Morrie is that he's the real McCoy. A collector's collector and a great guy. Whatever millions come to him, good for him. I hope he has a great time spending the money!
