[MOPO] FA: Lots of non-U.S. posters closing Tuesday on eBay that are dirt cheap
We are posting this to MoPo because there are 950 non-U.S. posters from 22 countries (with 11 special U.S. posters) in our current Tuesday auctions (CLOSING TUESDAY JULY 24th), and we KNOW that MoPo has many dealers and collectors who appreciate these posters! Right now, with just two days left to go, a few of these are at deservedly high prices, but there are many others that are still at bargain prices! Exactly what is in our Tuesday night auctions that close TUESDAY, July 24th on eBay? 950 non-U.S. posters from 22 countries with 11 special rare U.S. posters, all currently on eBay ending Tuesday, July 24th beginning around 7 PM CST! Read more about these great items below, or go see them right now (with large thumbnails and links to these great auctions on eBay for easy bidding) in our http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.phpTuesday Auction Gallery! What are some of the best items in this current Tuesday auction? You'll find Two Seconds (a cool special banner from a 1930 Edward G. Robinson movie), Bullitt (German 33x46), Loves of Carmen (French 31x47), Ice Station Zebra (a super cool lenticular display!), Cincinnati Kid (Australian one-sheet), Save Freedom of Speech: Buy War Bonds (1943 war poster), Let It Be (German), Der Verlorene (German, super cool artwork of Peter Lorre), Yellow Submarine (German, with completely different, and very cool artwork!), and much, MUCH more! We are also offering a great collection of Australian daybills including many from top titles such as The Outlaw, Invisible Boy, Star Wars (from the first release, with posters that feature both the style A and style C artwork from the U.S. posters), The Birds, Along the Navajo Trail (a 1945 Roy Rogers), To Kill a Mockingbird, Weekend in Havana (beautiful artwork of Carmen Miranda), Ziegfeld Follies, and much, MUCH more! I could easily go on listing dozens more titles, but you really need to check these out for yourself! What is in our Thursday night auctions that would normally close THURSDAY July 26th on eBay? Please note that we did not add any new stills to eBay last night! This is because we has just sold lots and lots of posters, and we were just too busy to list stills last night (Thursday). However, we will list another excellent group of stills NEXT Thursday. We DID however a list a where are our hundreds of items on our movieposter account, and the winner of that auction gets a set of our 29 full-color books, even if the auction goes for one penny! you can go to that auction at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=130136036724http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=130136036724 REMEMBER THAT, IN BOTH OF OUR WEEKLY AUCTIONS (unlike some other sellers of vintage movie paper), EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR ITEMS TRULY START AT 99 CENTS WITH NO RESERVE ON ANY ITEM! AND WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT 99 CENTS, PLUS $9 BUYERS PREMIUM, PLUS AN OFTEN MIS-CALCULATED SHIPPING THAT MEANS THOSE 99 CENT ITEMS MAY END UP COSTING YOU $17 EACH! In OUR auctions, you can purchase up to FIFTEEN 99 cent stills and your total cost is $14.85, plus a very reasonable $5 U.S. shipping charge for a total U.S. cost for those 15 items of just over $20 for ALL fifteen stills (for the non-U.S. posters, we charge a variable $7 to $10 U.S. shipping, depending on the cost of your order, but that still means you pay a total of only $21.85 in the U.S., if you get 15 non-U.S. posters for 99 cents each). Remember that YOU can't get the great deals that happen week after week in our auctions if you aren't bidding! AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! If you place a bunch of fairly low bids but only get one or two items, then you are sure to be happy, for you will have gotten some really good deals. Even if you place a bunch of bids and get nothing at all, you will only be out a little of your time, and no more. Do you know about our Tuesday and Thursday Auction Galleries? One of the worst kept secrets in the movie poster hobby is that it is FAR easier to look at our items through our http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.phpTuesday Auction Gallery (http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.php) and our http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.phpThursday Auction Gallery (http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.php). When you look at our items on eBay, you do not see an image of the item until you open the auction, which is very time consuming (we don't use their gallery image, both because it is absurdly overpriced and because the gallery image is too tiny to see any details). So instead, we have our own http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/currentauctions.phpTuesday Auction Gallery and our http://www.emovieposter.com/gallery/thursdayauctions.phpThursday Auction Gallery, both of which have much larger images of each ite! m, so that you can determine if an item interests you BEFORE you click on it, thus
[MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
I just had a chance to glance over the Heritage results, and, as usual there were around a dozen unbelievable knock-your-socks-off high prices, and also a bunch of better results, and they are to be congratulated. But it sure seems to jump out at me that the once invincible horror/sci-fi genre was looking pretty puny! This is in no way a bash Heritage post, as there is every reason to think I (or any other dealer or auction house) might have realized the same or lower prices on most or all of these. But I can't believe this is just my imagination! Do others of you agree with me, and if so, why do you think this is? Is it a one-time phenomenon, or is horror finally beginning the slow decline that has afflicted so many other once hot categories? While I personally love the top horror/sci-fi titles, the prices HAVE seemed out of whack to me for some time (after all, for the price of a single 1930s Universal one-sheet, you can have an entire COLLECTION in most other genres!).

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
As a dealer, I have many times wished that there were multiple military or comedy or melodrama or western collectors with the kind of sustained interest that horror/sci-fi collectors have.

[MOPO] RE; QUESTION: RARE STYLE E.T. Poster Proof Before Title Change Orig Email LOOK
Hi, Everyone, Here is my original email sent a week ago---photos are included in previous email. About 12 years ago, I purchased a number of posters from someone whose work involved the printing of posters for Universal. Among the items I bought were an uncut proof US one sheet from E.T, (spaceship landing style), a couple proofs on Empire Strikes Back Advance US one sheets and a few other items. One of the pieces is really intriguing and I was wondering if anyone out there has seen or even heard of the existence of this poster. The guy I bought the posters from told me that in terms of this particular piece, he was told by whoever was in charge to destroy all copies that had been printed. He destroyed all but 2 that he put awayyears later, I would acquire them from his as part of our deal. They are on heavier stock paper than a one sheet---typical insert stock paper from that era. They are proofs---before trimming they measure 27 inches wide by 18 inches high---kind of like a small banner. They have graphics on both sides (nothing like the double sided one sheets of today)---On one side is printed: Steven Spielberg's The Extraterrestrial...in his first adventure on Earth (the guy told me the original title was planned to be The Extraterrestrial, not E.T. The Extraterrestrial). In the corner of this side of the poster it's printed c 1982 Universal City Studios, Inc. Printed in U.S.A.. On the other side of the poster are three great, colorful scenes of the spaceship landing. The first, with rays of light coming down from the cloudy sky. Caption underneath reads: He is afraid. He is totally alone.---in second scene we actually see the spaceship coming closer to the ground with caption: He is 8 million light years from home.---In the third scene the spaceship has landed and a figure (completely dwarfed by the size of the spaceship) is standing. looking up at it---it looks a somewhat like an alien figure, but it could be a boy---I'm not sure. Caption underneath reads: A timeless story from the most original director of our time. To the far left of this side of the poster, it reads: His films.JAWS.have never failed to amaze us.CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.entertain us.RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARKthrill us. Now Universal Pictures proudly presents Steven Spielberg's newest film. I've been collecting dealing in movie posters for at least 25 years and in all that time have never come across a poster of this size, US or foreign. It was obviously designed and printed by Universal---the person I bought it from was definitely a printer who printed for Universal...and I remember when I talked to him all those years ago, I completely believed his account about the changing of the film's title and the fact that he was directed to destroy all of these posters titled simply The Extraterrestrial. I'd really appreciate it if any MoPoer's out there have any insight into these seemingly rare proofs from E.T The Extraterrestrial before it became E.T. The Extraterrestrial, I'd really appreciate any insight you might have.

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
Bruce - what do you base this on? $90K for Black Cat half sheet? Attack of the 50ft Woman 3sh $21.5K? Cabinet of Dr Caligari lobby for $21.5K etc. Seem pretty healthy to be me. I suppose the Raven 1sh 'only' went for $44K, near the low estimate, but that is one ugly poster, with the book taking up most of it. I've just had a quick glance at the horror section and most pieces seem to have realised prices in the upper end of the estimate if not above. When it comes to the Universal horror stuff, aren't the high prices simply case of supply vs demand?

Re: [MOPO] RE; QUESTION: RARE STYLE E.T. Poster Proof Before Title Change Orig Email LOOK
I didn't reply once I saw Phil's email last week... But, I think he's right. I've seen a poster that sounds identical to that one (your pics didn't come through) several times over the years. A gatefold, or whatever they call them. Probably an insert/giveaway in Variety. Yours is possibly a prototype or something, as I don't remember them being on really thick stock... One of the images should be very similar to the advance one sheet...

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
Tom: I believe your observations are as mine, as I saw nothing slack about the horror prices. In fact the Black Cat half sheet was the very same copy that I sold in July of '02 for $32,200 and was re-consigned. It sold yesterday for very close to three times the original purchase price of five years ago. Would not be a bad investment for your money! And what about the beautiful condition Creature From the Black Lagoon which brought a world's record price of $20,315. And the The Man Who Laughs half sheet? Considered one of Universal's earliest horror films and it fetched $19,120. If I am not mistaken that very same copy was purchased on eBay about six years ago for $6000 to $7000. The Mystery of the Wax Museum title card sold for $11,352. That is undoubtedly twice what that card has ever been purchased for. I am sure you are aware that I sold the Black Cat one sheet in the last Signature auction for $286,800. If these are slack prices, let's hope for the same fate of all great movie posters! -Original Message- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tom Kirby Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 3:24 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
I SAID there were around a dozen unbelievable knock-your-socks-off high prices, and also a bunch of better results, but look across the board at the horror/sci-fi, and the picture is not nearly so rosy! I imagine some great statistician (Sean?) could come up with a list of better/lesser results. I got the clear impression that there was substantial weakness.

Re: [MOPO] Record price for a press book?
No it is not even close to a record. For certain a King Kong pressbook has sold for twice that amount and Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein have sold for over that amount as well. The Metropolis really seems like a bargain at the price it brought. _ From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joel Nelson The press book for Metropolis sold for over 6K with commission, is that a record for a press book?

Re: [MOPO] Record price for a press book?
No, the pressbooks for Bride of Frankenstein and Werewolf of London have gone for higher ~ and that's primarily because they look like slightly smaller inserts. Also, I sold a Mark of the Vampire presbook several years ago for over $7,000.

Re: [MOPO] QUESTION: PHOTOS OF RARE STYLE Orig E.T. Poster Proof!!! PLEASE HELP IDE...
Certainly looks like an untrimmed (or proof printing - see colour bars) of the promo item I mentioned in detail before. The one I received came with my weekly subscription issue of Variety (I was living in UK at time).

[MOPO] BUTTERFIERLD 8 - THE MYSTERY OF TWO DAYBILLS... is no mystery at all.
Bruce Hershenson is running two daybills for BUTTERFIELD 8 at the moment. They are easy to differentiate in printing, as clearly one is short a plate (see lack of detail in Liz's negligee as one example). The version with SUITABLE ONLY FOR ADULTS at the bottom of the poster was printed for use in Australia. That's the Australian censor rating. The one without that censor rating was printed in Australia for use in New Zealand, as the NZ censor stamp clearly indicates. NZ had a different rating system to Australia, with different terminology and different standards. Ad sales material for NZ was supplied out of Australian distributors - even for films banned in Australia but passed for NZ, such as some of the early Hammer horrors. This was particularly true of daybills - a format commonly used in both Australia and New Zealand. For one sheets, either regular US domestics or US internationals were used, of if it were a British film then UK internationals were frequently used. In other cases, Australian one sheets were used, and were printed without the Australian rating, or with the Australian rating over-stamped or over-sniped. This is about the 29th time I have explained this on numerous forums and privately to dealers over the years. It will probably be the last. Why does everyone have such a short memory about this stuff, especially people who handle this sort of material all the time in volume and over many years - either the consignors or the sellers?

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
I thought the horror/sci-fi did pretty well. Makes me wish I collected in that group instead of others. One piece that did surprise was the Wolfman LC w/the Wolfman. other than the image area, it was recreated to complete the card...sold for $6871.25. Pulp Fiction advance 1sh. $1553.50. Raised an eyebrow! Rear Window 1 3Shs. $8K+ each. a few years ago they were going around $2K. Painted It's a Wonderful Life over $11k. Was totally surprised that the Pinocchio pressbook sold for $2629.00. I think the no sale of the Casablanca WC was a real shock! Even with the high reserve, it is by far one of the nicest posters for the original release of that wonderful movie. I believe, (maybe wrong) more rarer than the bland 1sh. which fetches the $20K prices. Doug - Original Message - From: Bruce Hershenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 11:05 AM Subject: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices? I just had a chance to glance over the Heritage results, and, as usual there were around a dozen unbelievable knock-your-socks-off high prices, and also a bunch of better results, and they are to be congratulated. But it sure seems to jump out at me that the once invincible horror/sci-fi genre was looking pretty puny! This is in no way a bash Heritage post, as there is every reason to think I (or any other dealer or auction house) might have realized the same or lower prices on most or all of these. But I can't believe this is just my imagination! Do others of you agree with me, and if so, why do you think this is? Is it a one-time phenomenon, or is horror finally beginning the slow decline that has afflicted so many other once hot categories? While I personally love the top horror/sci-fi titles, the prices HAVE seemed out of whack to me for some time (after all, for the price of a single 1930s Universal one-sheet, you can have an entire COLLECTION in most other genres!). What do YOU feel?

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
I guess this is supposed to be my cue to enter the conversation. So... Yes!! The market is collapsing at an exponentially expanding rate. If you have any premium sci-fi/horror material I suggest you call me now and I will be happy to take it off your hands before the decline causes you irreparable harm and you are shunned by your loved ones. But seriously, Not sure how you can say there were a dozen unbelievable prices along with a bunch of better results and then state that the genre sure looks puny. To me it looked as if prices were strong across the board and anything that looked puny could most likely be chalked up to being in lesser condition (movie posters is still the only hobby I know of that has a paper-thin spread on the values between the lowest condition pieces and the highest condition ones. Thankfully that spread is growing as people realize how hard it is to find truly high grade untouched pieces). Some of the amazing prices from this auction include: Attack of the 50ft Woman 3-sheet - record price, Day of the Triffids quad - record price, Earth vs Flying Saucers lobby - record price, Destroy all Monsters lobbies - very strong considering Bruce sold the same cards 3 months ago for 1/5 of that price, Caligari lobby - record price Forbidden Planet insert - record price (and I know of one sheets that haven't brought this much) Man who Laughs half sheet - record price Mystery of Wax Museum title card - record price Invisible Man Returns insert - record price Invisible Man 'dead card - record price Bride of Frankenstein half sheet - record price King Kong 42 Half Sheet - record price Invasion of the Saucer-men lobbies - record price War of the Worlds one sheet - record price Creature From the Black Lagoon one sheet - record price Black Cat half sheet - record price and nearly triple the previous time it sold at auction Werewolf of London insert - record price Piece of a Wolf Man lobby card - record price And some of the puny prices include... Well, I'm not exactly sure what they include, but some pieces that were under or at the low part of the estimate are: Beginning of the End one-sheet (one that had tape on the borders and color touch) Day the Earth Stood Still one sheet - still over 11K, so hard to think of that as puny. Godzilla one sheet - $100 below low estimate Incredible Shrinking Man half sheet - ?? don't know why, though I personally don't find it very attractive given how cool some of the other paper is. Invaders From Mars half sheet - sold for about 70% of low estimate, but in line with the last one Bruce sold and other noted sales. Possibly an aggressive estimate And??? I just don't see it. There were record prices for items from the teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s - so where is this slow decline? $2 Million+ dollars is an incredible amount for the market to absorb in one auction, and not only did it do so, it appears that almost nothing slipped between the cracks and that bidders actually came from everywhere to drive sci-fi/horror to record levels across all decades. -Original Message- From: MoPo List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Hershenson Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2007 6:26 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices? I SAID there were around a dozen unbelievable knock-your-socks-off high prices, and also a bunch of better results, but look across the board at the horror/sci-fi, and the picture is not nearly so rosy! I imagine some great statistician (Sean?) could come up with a list of better/lesser results. I got the clear impression that there was substantial weakness.

Re: [MOPO] What's with horror/sci-fi prices?
First, let me start off by saying that I am not interested in the price of Horror and Science Fiction. As it turns out, I can send my daughter to the University of Colorado for 4 years for about $50,000 and would rather do that than own a great horror one sheet (except for The Invisible Man -- for that I would gladly send her to community college). Second, let me say, that I truly enjoy the Heritage Auctions -- as a bidder (both as a winner and a loser), and an occasional consignor, I have never been in any way disappointed. Ever. Thirdly, I didn't get a change to watch the auction online, except for a odd portion of cartoon posters in the middle -- which I thought had a pretty tough time of it. So I looked at the prices and estimates of the 43 posters between lots 28435 - 28477. And I made the following ridiculous assumption -- that the catalog estimate was what Bruce (C not H) and Grey at Heritage think the poster was worth. I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here (because to assume that they would elevate the estimates to attempt to coerce the buyer to pay more than the value of the poster would be dishonest). However, I will suggest that the catalog estimate estimates the hammer price -- that the whopping 19.5% on top of that is NOT included. I claim this, because, as the auctioneer rattles off the call (hummuhna hummuhna do i have five hunnerd an fitty hummuhna etc..), he does not include a (anna dontcha forget that hummahuna hummahun nineteen point five percent hummahuna etc.) Not to mention, if the catalog boosted the estimates by the premium, the estimates would look ridiculous. Now, I've known Bruce and Grey for years. In fact, Bruce sold me my first poster ($15 Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation (Insert)). And between them, they have a mess of years in the business. And if they say a poster is worth between 500-1000, I suspect that the poster is probably worth between 500-1000. However, in the 43 lots in this section, 29 (67%) hammered for less than the estimate, 8 (%19) hammered within the estimate, and 6 (%14) above the estimate. This suggest (to me) that something is amiss. It even worse if you look just at the 28 posters between 28435 - 28462 where, 21 (75%) sold for less that the estimate, 2 (7%) within, and 5 (18%) above. So, how can anyone explain this? How can they be correct so infrequently? I came up with a variety of explanations. E.g., the market for all animation poster is the tank; eBay is effecting other auction house prices; buyers less willing to accept estimate as real; collectors are concentrating on key titles at the peril of the all lesser titles; buyers reluctant cough up 19.5% BP; realization that the quantity of posters on the market is huge; the demographics of the collectors is changing resulting in some dramatic change (downward) in values of some areas of the hobby. All of which I think are true to some extent. However, nothing could explain how a 101 dalmations 6 sheet would sell for the price of the linenbacking! Just some thoughts late on a Sunday night.
