[MOPO] FS: Apocalypse Now - Very Rare *Alternate* Japanese B0 (40x56) featuring the image of Marlon Brando

2009-03-24 Thread dsonesheets
Good morning all!

Right now I am entertaining inquiries into what easily may be one of the
most difficult movie posters to obtain for the film *Apocalypse Now*.

Everyone of course knows (and loves) the Japanese B0 artwork featuring the
Huey choppers flying in over the ocean, while a lone surfer is riding the
waves below.  The artwork is unforgettable, has brilliant color and is just
plain beautiful.

I recently acquired the *alternate* Japanese B0, designed by the legend Eiko
Ishioka, who also designed the helicopters/surfer artwork.  For those who
don't know, Eiko is also an Academy award-winning costume designer, who won
for her work on the costume design in Coppola's *Dracula*.

This alternate style features Marlon Brando's head coming up out of the
river, with the entire jungle behind him burning from the napalm unleashed
in the opening minutes of the film to The Doors' The End.

At best, my sources put this at a very limited print run, as it was only
used for the premiere of the film and subsequent media previews.  It was *
not* used for the theatrical run of the film, and may have maxed out at a
very small run of fifty or less.  I am currently waiting to hear back from
Mrs. Ishioka for confirmation of the print run and the intended market for
this poster.

Most collectors have never even had the chance to see this incredible
artwork because of its extremely limited run.  I have had it brought up to
practically mint condition by Sylvia and her team at Precision Restoration;
in a few words, it is stunning.  You might never have another chance to see
this poster in this condition again.

I wanted to give the MOPO community the first opportunity to see it, as I am
considering taking it to Grey Smith at Heritage, with a substantial reserve.
If you are interested, I will be accepting offers for this piece before I
talk to Grey when it has been returned from Precision Restoration.  This is
a true piece of classic contemporary movie poster artwork, and is clearly an
incredible investment opportunity due to its rarity, its importance as one
of Eiko Ishioka's best examples of movie poster graphic design, and the
profound impact of the artwork itself.

An image, Steve, an image!  Or a link to an image!  Teasing MoPoer's like this 
is UNFAIR.  Even if we can't afford it, most of us haven't seen such an animal 
and would love a preview.  -kuz.

[MOPO] FS: Very Rare Triple-bill Japanese Western Film Festival Poster

2009-03-24 Thread dsonesheets
Hello again!

I wanted to let everyone know about another incredible piece that I found in
Tokyo.  Some people might know that I have been on a sort of sabbatical and
have taken some important time off from dealing movie posters; I was having
personal and financial difficulties in the wake of a very critical back
surgery, and I may have even lost a few friends in the process.  For those
individuals, I wish to extend my apologies once again.

This period of rest also gave me the opportunity to revisit some of my
connections in Tokyo and in the south of Japan.  In that time I have been
able to acquire some incredible examples of Japanese movie poster art.  To
be honest, some of them have left me speechless.  One of them is the
*Apocalypse
Now* B0, designed by the Academy award-winning Costume and Graphic Designer
Eiko Ishioka which you probably read about in my other email.

In addition to a great year-of-release extended B3 for *La Dolce Vita*, I
also acquired a very rare triple-bill Western poster, which was printed
solely for use promoting a Western Film Festival.  The poster features the
film *Navajo Joe*, but the real treasure lies in the other two films
featured, *For A Few Dollars Now*, and *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*.
The poster is a unique size as well, measuring approximately 35x35.  Since
this is also coming back from Sylvia at Precision Restoration with the
Apocalypse Now and the Dolce Vita, I do not have the specific measurements,
because it is now on linen.

This poster features not one, but two images of Clint Eastwood, along with
whom I believe to be Aldo Sambrell (who played Duncan, the bandit leader),
who worked with Sergio Leone many times over the course of his career.  The
titles and images of the two films and the two men appear over a montage of
what appears to be Monument Valley, with a large band of men on horseback
racing towards the foreground.

My sources have told me that this poster was perhaps even more rare than the
*Apocalypse Now* B0, because there were only three to four different
versions printed for the festival, each featuring some of the different
films being shown, and likely there were only a handful printed due to the
nature of the limited run of the festival itself.

If you are interested in seeing the artwork, which I would highly recommend,
I will also be offering this for sale through Grey Smith at Heritage.  Until
I receive it back from Precision Restoration, I will be open to offers on
this important piece of Western film history.

2009-03-24 Thread dsonesheets
Hello again.  This will be my last email for the day (woot! I suspect some
of you are thinking!),

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be returning from my
sabbatical, and am ramping up for a re-opening of my movie poster business
within the next six months to a year, and will be specifically focused on
Japanese paper.

Over the course of the last year, I have been taking some steps back to
re-evaluate my core business plan, and what it will take to regain some of
the integrity that I lost over the last six years due to a number of
reasons, the main being my multiple spinal disc problems and the major
surgery I had last October.  This should have been transparent to my
customers, and I used it as a crutch instead.  I am investing a bulk of my
time into my main problem, which was expediting shipments out on time.

The positive side of all this is that I have been saving resources and money
for some incredible major purchases from some of my contacts in Tokyo,
Shinjuku, and the south of Japan.  I also plan on travelling to Tokyo to
meet some of them for the first time later this year. The *Apocalypse
Now*B0 and the Western Film Festival poster featuring
*For a Few Dollars More* and *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly* are but just
a small sample of the posters I am now finding after starting to dig deeper
into the inventories of my contacts.

My most recent acquisition?  A set of five B1 (28x40) posters for *The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button*, featuring Brad Pitt at age 7, age 24, age
30, and age 49, looking physically younger in each as he grows older. These
could almost be considered portraits, each a poignant moment from the
film..

This is a perfect example of what you find in Japanese movie poster
artwork.  Attention to detail.  Multiple poster sets that feature a single
motif from the film.  Multiple character poster sets that focus on even
small roles in the films they advertise.  And above all, beautiful, moving
artwork from the best graphic designers in Japan.  You will often find that
the artwork you see in the United States is practically droll and boring
compared to Japanese artwork, and will also often be completely different
art from their U.S. counterparts.  The collectors that have bought from me
in the past know exactly what I am talking about.  The two *Kill Bill* films
had at least 21 different styles of artwork that I know of to date, and I
honestly don't think I've seen them all.

I look forward to getting to know you again, and to meet new friends and
customers.  Thank you for your support.

Hi Todd --

 

Well, Japanese posters have always had that photo-realism style of 
composition, even on posters dating back to the 1950s.  I have a few program 
books my mother saved from Japan during the 1940s and 1950s and they're 
consistent with the hand-tinted photo look so common in vintage Japanese 
movie posters.  I do love the Brando and naplam poster that Steve is selling, 
however, because if it's from the same artist (and it sure looks like it), it 
does mimics the more famous and more common image of the chopper and surfer 
that typically fetches more than the USA style one-sheet.  Best, kuz.

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU

Hello again.  This will be my last email for the day (woot! I suspect some of 
you are thinking!),

I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be returning from my sabbatical, 
and am ramping up for a re-opening of my movie poster business within the next 
six months to a year, and will be specifically focused on Japanese paper.

Over the course of the last year, I have been taking some steps back to 
re-evaluate my core business plan, and what it will take to regain some of the 
integrity that I lost over the last six years due to a number of reasons, the 
main being my multiple spinal disc problems and the major surgery I had last 
October.  This should have been transparent to my customers, and I used it as a 
crutch instead.  I am investing a bulk of my time into my main problem, which 
was expediting shipments out on time.

The positive side of all this is that I have been saving resources and money 
for some incredible major purchases from some of my contacts in Tokyo, 
Shinjuku, and the south of Japan.  I also plan on travelling to Tokyo to meet 
some of them for the first time later this year. The Apocalypse Now B0 and the 
Western Film Festival poster featuring For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the 
Bad, and the Ugly are but just a small sample of the posters I am now finding 
after starting to dig deeper into the inventories of my contacts.

My most recent acquisition?  A set of five B1 (28x40) posters for The Curious 
Case of Benjamin Button, featuring Brad Pitt at age 7, age 24, age 30, and age 
49, looking physically younger in each as he grows older. These could almost be 
considered portraits, each a poignant moment from the film..  

This is a perfect example of what you find in Japanese movie poster artwork.  
Attention to detail.  Multiple poster sets that feature a single motif from the 
film.  Multiple character poster sets that focus on even small roles in the 
films they advertise.  And above all, beautiful, moving artwork from the best 
graphic designers in Japan.  You will often find that the artwork you see in 
the United States is practically droll and boring compared to Japanese artwork, 
and will also often be completely different art from their U.S. counterparts.  
The collectors that have bought from me in the past know exactly what I am 
talking about.  The two Kill Bill films had at least 21 different styles of 
artwork that I know of to date, and I honestly don't think I've seen them all.

I look forward to getting to know you again, and to meet new friends and 
customers.  Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Steve Zammar

Hello again!

I wanted to let everyone know about another incredible piece that I found in 
Tokyo.  Some people might know that I have been on a sort of sabbatical and 
have taken some important time off from dealing movie posters; I was having 
personal and financial difficulties in the wake of a very critical back 
surgery, and I may have even lost a few friends in the process.  For those 
individuals, I wish to extend my apologies once again.

This period of rest also gave me the opportunity to revisit some of my 
connections in Tokyo and in 

[MOPO] FA: 999 folded one sheets end in 12 hours, including lots of top horror titles!

2009-03-24 Thread Bruce Hershenson
***HOO-AH!* We have 999 folded one-sheets ending in 12 hours, and another 999
folded one-sheets ending in 60 hours, and there are TONS of them still at
$1, $2, and $3, and hundreds more under $10, plus lots of really cool
posters at higher prices. *YOU CAN COMBINE ANY AMOUNT OF THEM AND STILL ONLY
PAY A SINGLE $9 u.s. SHIPPING CHARGE FOR ALL YOU GET!*

We feel certain that if you purchase even one of these 1,998 one-sheets, and
then once you see how honestly we describe them and how we charge only the
actual shipping cost and how we send them right out promptly and
well-packed, that you will declare your independence from those auction
houses with the outrageous buyers premiums, the over-graded items, the
misleading images that obscure defects, the *mysterious maxed bids*, the
outrageous shipping, and the *zero customer service*!

If it has been a while since you have ordered from us, you should place an
order just to see how we have pretty much perfected our system, to make
all of our customers happy, before, during, and after *EVERY *sale!

*Your money goes further with us!*
 In these uncertain economic times, doesn't it make sense to spend your
money where it goes the absolute furthest? We auction everything with a $1
opening bid and no reserves, so we truly sell many items for just $1 or $2
or $3 (there are other auction places that have the nerve to claim they sell
their items with $1 and no reserve like we do, but they have a minimum $9
buyers premium, which means those $1, $2, and $3 posters *ACTUALLY* cost you
$10, $11, and $12)! We have *NO* buyers premiums, and we only charge the
actual cost of shipping (often less, when a buyer buys multiple items). We
regularly give lots of great bonuses, often more valuable than the items
required to qualify for them!
This week, we are auctioning *nearly 2,000 items *in our Tuesday and
Thursday auctions, and it is virtually a certainty that some percentage of
them will sell for bargain prices, and there may be some absolute
steals! Remember that, unlike the majority of hobbies, where the money
you spend on your hobby is gone forever, the money you spend buying movie
paper will almost certainly be recovered the day you ever sell your
collection (and many, many collectors have made lots of money on their
collection over time, because unlike stocks, vintage movie paper continually
rises over time!).

If I'd bought it because I very much wanted it, I'd go there myself and
bring along a bodyguard or two (I mean, why should they get the day off?).
If I'd bought it as an investment, I'd just make sure that it was properly

This german poster is no doubt one of the nicest posters on the

Is $9.99 for this beauty in Near Mint condition still too much? I

*Well it might be worth something for any one collecting Hirschfeld art. 
It's quite unique and I like it!!


I must ask. I guess I am curious as a restorer. The two pieces you've 
shown, who did the Linen backing?


Just really really poorly stretched Linen on to the frame. No wonder 
some collectors don't like LB posters.


That is not cool and most likely an obstacle to sell these two posters.

Bothersome,

Re: [MOPO] check out the shopping spree some kid went on

2009-03-24 Thread McDaniel Kirby

Dave,

I feel.. uh.. better now.  I'm not the only guy this happened to.  We  
sold

an $8500 poster this morning to this same kid's Dad.  Only NOT.  Plus
the kid gave the address and telephone number to a Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) in West DesMoines.   I called the buyer, got the
church instead, and the Church Lady asked me if my call was about  
ebay.

I began to get the picture.

Ah, fleabay and the joys of the internet.  Well, at least I thought
it was Christmas Morning for 10 minutes.

I'd like the opinion of the list, however.  What do you
think is in order?

a) Grounding
b) Woodshed Discipline
or
c) the Dad actually buying THE MAN FROM PLANET X for his son

I would write lol, but somebody's got a lock on that.  And I don't  
feel like lol-ing actually.

as soon as we file a dispute and ebay approves it, the fees are  credited as 
soon as the other party agrees.
 
in this case it was just a few hours.
 
the other party has up to a week to agree to cancel the transaction,  if they 
don't then we can end it and get the fees back then.
 
 
so.best case scenario we get the fees back almost  immediately.worst 
case it takes 7 days.

AOL EmailThanks for the info.
I guess being on other side of world makes a difference
to what they can get away with.
Last time it happened to us was a $20k poster.
Ebay would only credit the VFV against future listings, and of course the 
initial listing fee was forfeit to them.

[MOPO] mopo hall monitors

2009-03-24 Thread Jeff Potokar
i was privately messaged by a member telling me i had posted beyond  
the limit of 3 per day.. but this message wasn't from scott.


and yet, a number of others have also done the same today (sellers)  
and they often do on many days..


question and comment.. have certain members been appointed as mopo  
hall monitors?


if not- and if sellers can express concerns, thoughts and ideas,  
that may take more than 3 daily posts to do-- then us simple folk who  
like and enjoy this hobby, should be allowed the same latitude  
without privately being told not to do so.

 Bad Actors -
 This
 political theater is cheap, but we can't afford
 it.

 Death threats to
 executives at AIG, because of the bonuses they received,
 are one more sign of
 the utter degeneration of politics in our time. 
 
 
 
 Rep. Barney Frank has threatened to summon these executives
 before his
 committee and force them to reveal their home addresses
 — which would of
 course put their wives and children at the mercy of
 whatever kooks might want
 to literally take a shot at them.
 
 
 
 Whatever the political or economic issues involved, this is
 not the way such
 issues should be resolved in America. We are not yet a
 banana republic, though
 that is the direction in which some of our politicians are
 taking us —
 especially those politicians who make a lot of noise about
 “compassion” and “social justice.”
 
 
 
 What makes this all the more painfully ironic is that it is
 precisely those
 members of Congress who have had the most to do with
 creating the risks that
 led to the current economic crisis who are making the most
 noise against
 others, and summoning people before their committee to be
 browbeaten and humiliated
 on nationwide television.
 
 
 
 No one pushed harder than Barney Frank to force banks and
 other financial
 institutions to reduce their mortgage-lending standards in
 order to meet
 government-set goals for more home ownership. Those lower
 mortgage-lending standards
 are at the heart of the increased riskiness of the mortgage
 market and of the
 collapse of Wall Street securities based on those risky
 mortgages.
 
 
 
 Sen. Christopher Dodd has played the same role in the
 Senate as Barney Frank
 played in the House of Representatives. Now both are
 summoning government
 employees and the officials of financial institutions
 before their committees
 to be lambasted in front of the media. 
 
 
 
 Dodd and Frank know that the best defense is a good
 offense. Both know how hard
 it would be to defend their own roles in the housing
 debacle, so they go on the
 offensive against others who are in no position to reply in
 kind, given the
 vindictive powers of Congress.
 
 
 
 This political theater is in one sense cheap beyond words.
 In another sense, it
 is costly beyond words. 
 
 
 
 It is cheap because the politicians who are creating this
 distraction from
 their own role also voted for the very legislation that
 enabled contracted
 bonuses to be paid by companies like AIG that received
 government bailout money.
 If members of Congress can’t be bothered to read the
 laws they pass, then
 they have no basis for whipping up lynch-mob outrage
 against people who did
 read the law and acted within the law.
 
 
 
 Just as everyone seemed to be a military expert a couple of
 years ago, when it
 was chic to say that the “surge” in Iraq would
 not work, so today
 everyone seems to be an expert on executive pay.
 
 
 
 Whether the particular executives who received bonuses were
 the ones
 responsible for AIG’s problems, or were among those
 who warned against
 those problems, is something that those of us on the
 outside don’t know.
 That includes those in politics and the media who are
 making the loudest noise.
 
 
 
 The politicians claim to be protecting the taxpayers’
 money. But having
 politicians trying to micro-manage any business is far more
 likely to make
 those businesses lose more money, including the
 taxpayers’ money. 
 
 
 
 Securities based on risky mortgages are what toppled
 financial institutions,
 but it was the government that made the mortgages risky in
 the first place, by
 making home-ownership statistics the holy grail for which
 everything else was
 to be sacrificed, including commonsense standards for
 making home loans.
 
 
 
 Politicians and bureaucrats micro-managing the mortgage
 sector of the economy
 is precisely how today’s economic disaster began. Why
 anyone would think
 that their micro-managing the automobile industry, or
 executive pay across a
 wide sweep of other industries, is likely to make things
 better in the economy
 is a mystery.
 
 
 
 The real point is to pander to envy and resentment against
 people who make a
 lot of money. Envy is always referred to by its political
 alias, “social
 justice.” But to put the lives of the wives and
 children of executives at
 risk for the sake of Beltway grandstanding shows how low
 our political saviors
 have sunk.

[MOPO] TWO COLLECTOR ONE SHEETS STILL AVAILABLE

2009-03-24 Thread Larry Springer
Hi members - This will be a last call for anyone who is interested in getting 
the BULLITT one sheet and DEAD MAN'S EYES one sheet I posted for sale several 
days ago.  I have reduced the asking price for the BULLITT one sheet to $375 
(postage included) and the price for the DEAD MAN'S EYES one sheet is now $60 
(plus postage).  If I decide to put them on EBAY, those will be the starting 
bids.  Pictures are available upon request.  BULLITT is excellent except  for a 
couple of border chips (easily repaired) and DEAD MAN'S EYES is backed on thin 
piece of cardboard with some border restorations.
Thanks for replying.
Larry Springer
