*Did you know that eMoviePoster.com is about to standardize what "rare" and "ultra rare" means in our auction headings, the ONLY auction to do so?Everyone who follows our auctions knows that we make a giant effort to tell you how many times we have auctioned rare items in the past, so that bidders have a quick and easy way to see this information WITHOUT having to look that information up for themselves in our Auction History at https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html <https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html>For quite some time we have been noting within auction listings for rare items whether we EVER auctioned that item before, and if we have, how many times we did that. BUT NOW, WE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU A "HEADS UP" ON THESE ITEMS IN THE AUCTION TITLE, using a simple formula.What is this formula? If we never auctioned the item before, or only only auctioned the item once before, we will put "ultra rare" in its auction title. If we auctioned the item exactly two or three times before, we will put "ultra rare" in its auction title. And if we auctioned four or more examples in the past, we will NEVER put "rare" or "ultra rare" in its auction title (even if we last auctioned it 20 or 30 years ago)!This will help bidders who like rare items a lot, because it means that soon you will be able to (with one click) view a gallery of solely items we have never auctioned before (or only once before) by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/searchfield/title/search/ultra%2520rare/all.html <https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/searchfield/title/search/ultra%2520rare/all.html>And you soon will be able to (with one click) view a gallery of solely items we have auctioned only two or three times before by going to https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/searchfield/title/search/rare/all.html <https://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/searchfield/title/search/rare/all.html>Why do I say "soon"? Because we have many current auctions that were prepared before I firmly implemented this change there are a few auctions were they say "rare" or "ultra rare" that don't follow the above guidelines (and there will be just a few more in next month's auctions) and then ALL auctions will follow the above guidelines.Here is an example of one that was prepared before: https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=6697554 <https://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=6697554>. The title says "ultra rare" because it is a poster from 1968 that we have only once auctioned in the last nine years, and that IS very unusual, and does show it is quite hard to find.But starting soon, you will never see "ultra rare" on the title of ANY auction unless we have never auctioned it before (or only once before) and you will never see "rare" on the title of ANY auction unless we have only auctioned it two or three times before. We invite ALL other auctioneers (and dealers) to adopt this same standard, because it will be a great help to all bidders.And you surely have noticed we NEVER put "there are only two examples of this poster known to exist" or similar statements. We almost always solely refer to how many times WE have auctioned an item before (because that we can be sure of). A VERY few times we have referred to how many we believe are known to exist, and that is an important distinction, because who could possibly claim to know that they KNOW how many of ANY item there are in existence?*
