[MOPO] poster backings---NOT LINEN

20 years ago, i purchased MILDRED PIERCE and NOW, VOYAGER one sheets from a 
 MCW seller.  to my surprise, they were each mounted to a thin  cardboard.  
had i known this, i never would have bought them.
 
well, a few years back i bought a mint MILDRED, and re-sold my orig  
copy..made a some pocket change.
 
so i still have the NOW, VOYAGER.  i may have only seen another  copy being 
sold for tons of money.  THEREFORE, i own the one sheet on  a thin 
cardboard, with no intentions of selling it.  (clearing i  could restore it and 
put 
it on linenbut it is a clean poster, as is)
 
the buyer of MILDRED was very pleased with what he bought from me on  ebay. 
 he prob had it restored. 
 
QUESTION:
 
IS IT OKAY TO BUY A POSTER ON CARDBOARD, FOAMCORE, ETC??? if it is a  
rarer title?  and frame it as is  ?
 
WHAT ARE NON-ACCEPTABLE BACKINGS?

2009-07-29 Thread jbirddouglass

Acceptable depends on whether or not you're going to re-sell, in my 
opinion. I purchased several great sci-fi titles at bargain basement 
prices that were laminated. The lamination was well-done and has 
preserved the posters beautifully, and you cannot tell in a frame. If I 
can get a title that I really, really want at a great price that's 
backed in some unacceptable' manner, I'm there.
If I'm investing for future resale, that's different, and I get a lot 
more picky, because I know there's a lot of pinhole counters out there.. 
Oddly enough, though, I bought a laminated INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN 
insert years ago for around $500. I sold it on Ebay 2 years ago, clearly 
describing it as a laminated piece, and it sold to someone who works at 
Pixar for close to three grand. Frankly, it surprised the hell out of 
me. (I was doing the Poster Geek Polka when I saw the end of THAT auction!).

Acceptable becomes relative to how badly you covet the poster.

[MOPO] FS on EBAY: two rare Silent Era lobby card sized pieces/THE PAGAN w/Ramon Novarro HARDBOILED ROSE w/Myrna Loy

2009-07-29 Thread channinglylethomson


7/29/2009


HELLO MOPOERS --

I've just listed these two 1929 items on EBAY.  I think they are  
pretty incredible and priced right:


THE PAGAN (1929), $375.
http://cgi.ebay.com/THE-PAGAN-RARE-TINTED-LOBBY-CARD-PHOTOS-RAMON-NOVARRO_W0QQitemZ110417790303

HARDBOILED ROSE (1929), $275.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARDBOILED-ROSE-RARE-TINTED-LOBBY-CARD-PHOTO-MYRNA-LOY_W0QQitemZ110417790722

These are a very interesting view into film marketing in the 1920s  
silent movie period!

Please.

as a professional appraiser in this area I would have to disagree
when you say they are priced right.

Besides ebay is an auction site. I guess you're not confident
for these items to find their real value in the market place.

Re: [MOPO] FS on EBAY: two rare Silent Era lobby card sized pieces/THE PAGAN w/Ramon Novarro HARDBOILED ROSE w/Myrna Loy

Actually not very high at all because.
They are almost worthless to still collectors who value image and
image quality.
They are almost worthless to image archives who could sell the image
to a user due such as a book or article.
The stars in the images are really not in demand except for Loy and
then it's usually a racy pre-code shot

or a famous photographer still that would sell at the level desired.
As a poster it also almost worthless as it's not really attractive.
So that just leaves it's value as a curio.
It is an interesting item but that doesn't mean it's worth any money.
Rare doesn't translate to valuable or desired.
The fairest way to evaluate it is to let the auction marketplace find
it's value.

Something the seller obviously doesn't want to do.
When one appraises you have to come up with a price span since you
really can't nail

down an exact price due to various circumstances.
I could se these going from $25 to $100.
But really in the lower range.
Sorry.

And yes ebay is being ruined by overpriced sellers to afraid to really
holds auctions.

I applaud Bruce Hershenson and all the sellers who hold auctions with
low
starting points. They know that auction fever brings better price
action

than an over priced sale with free shipping!

Re: [MOPO] FS on EBAY: two rare Silent Era lobby card sized pieces/THE PAGAN w/Ramon Novarro HARDBOILED ROSE w/Myrna Loy

Just my view as a pro that i was asked for.
I don't mean to drive anyone away but don't try and tell
me what a great deal you have when you are over-priced!
And I checked out your online store and other ebay prices.
Since you are so touchy i won't comment.
Perhaps, with your 25 years, you are living in the past?
I only have about 20 years of experience.
(And get paid $300 an hour for my appraisals from insurance companies,
law firms and businessmen)

used to our auctions closing at 5:00pm, but we 
had a glitch  the programmer had to make some corrections to the auctions.

2009-07-29 Thread Brek Anderson



Can't anybody price items or sell them in the format they want without someone 
bitching on Mopo? Who needs a Czar when Mopo is around? Obviously Channing 
knows his stuff and selling method. Bruce knows his stuff and method, Grey 
knows his stuff and method, Cinemamasterpieces knows their stuff and method, 
Richard H. knows his stuff and method Rick and many others on eBay know their 
stuff and methods and all have been around a long time for a reason. None have 
the same method of selling or pricing. That would make for a dull marketplace.  
 



I think it is nice Channing offered this on MOPO. I'm relatively new to the 
poster business and appreciate seeing rare items and learning where a 
knowledgeable person places the value. If it was something I was interested in 
buying and disagreed with the price I would make an offer personally. Not in a 
public forum.

Re: [MOPO] poster backings---NOT LINEN

2009-07-29 Thread James Richard

Since most backings can be reversed by a good restorer (but it will cost 
ya...), the only thing I can think of as an unacceptable backing is 
one which had a lot of acid in it and so the poster has browned badly 
and the paper become so brittle that it doesn't display well (if you 
intend to keep it) and a restorer could not get it off the backing 
without it literally dissolving in the process (if you wanted to sell 
it). Cardboard can be the worst offender in this category, depending on 
how acidic it was. I've seen some cardboard-backed pieces that had 
hardly browned at all and others that were literally toast. It seems the 
acidity of cardboard has varied widely over the years.


Lamination is another real bugaboo. If done well, and you want to keep 
the poster, then it will display just fine for you and so what? Inserts 
and lobby cards, with their thicker paper, seem to handle lamination 
best. Forrest J. Ackerman, who at one time had gathered a superb 
collection of vintage science fiction and monster posters, had a very 
bad habit of laminating most of them. It used to drive me crazy, but he 
said he would never sell them and so it worked for him. Of course, 
eventually he *did* want to sell them, but that's another sad story... 
The bottom line is, as far as I know, there is no way for even the most 
talented restorer to get the lamination off the poster once it is on, 
and so a lamination job can't be fixed. You either have to love it or 
leave it.


A word of caution about lamination: It is very easily damaged by direct 
exposure to sunlight. It will turn brown and start cracking and flaking, 
the glue melting and eating the poster. It's never a good idea to expose 
any poster to direct sunlight for very long, but in the case of a 
laminated job it's the kiss of death.


On the other hand, as some posters become more rare and even more 
expensive, we are seeing that there are some buyers out there who will 
pay a pretty penny for some very popular and pricey posters and be happy 
for the discount, even if it is laminated or backed on something weird.


I must admit I'm surprised to hear someone paid $3,000 for a laminated 
insert of INVASION OF THE SAUCER MEN. You could have picked up a very 
nice 1-sheet from that film last week at Heritage for less than $5,000 
(including the buyer's premium). But sometimes the overwhelming impulse 
is just there and logic doesn't enter into the transaction...

Re: [MOPO] FS on EBAY: two rare Silent Era lobby card sized pieces/THE PAGAN w/Ramon Novarro HARDBOILED ROSE w/Myrna Loy

2009-07-29 Thread James Richard

Channing,

I don't agree with a couple of the responses to these items. To someone
who is into the silent film genre, or someone looking to build a
collection of posters that span the entire history of film, I think
these are very interesting cards. Particularly THE PAGAN, which I find
very attractive and a classic example of the kind of over-the-top
romantic style typical of the Valentino-Novarro era. The HARDBOILED ROSE
is a less interesting shot from a much lesser known film, but still it
is a lobby card from 1929. There aren't many of those available.

The right price is always in the eye (and bank account) of the buyer,
but I don't think these are over-priced for what they are. Then again,
they're not exactly bargains at these prices either. I'm not a big fan
of Buy It Now, preferring true auctions, but I can understand why on
eBay, with its vast swarm of people looking to pick up something for 25%
of what it's worth with free shipping included that you felt you had to
set a price. A better approach might have been to go with auctions where
the minimum bid was set, say, $45 lower than the Buy It Now price and
see what happened. But hey, that's a decision that is the province of
each individual seller to make.

As for the comments about what Ebay is supposed to be, I would have
thought everyone had realized by now that Ebay stopped being primarily
an auction site long ago. It's now just a big retail shopping mall
with 90% of the stuff selling for a fixed price (or so-called auctions
that have a minimum bid set so high it is essentially a fixed price). If
you want real movie poster auctions, you should be looking in places
like MoviePosterBid.com or Emovieposter.com -- that's where you'll find
the kind of action you used to get on Ebay many years ago.

Perhaps an even better option for these lobby cards would be to place
these in prestige auction event at someplace like Heritage, which seems
to attract well-heeled bidders who are interested in the really old
stuff. I don't think most eBay buyers are any longer.

I'm assuming you're referring to an optical mouse?  In which case  
anybody with a glass desk would need a mouse pad.  I suspect stainless  
steel or polished granite would also pose problems without a pad.

michael,

since you asked-- from the mopo homepage:

There is a suggested limit of 2 posts a day per list subscriber. This  
is to prevent those who have size limits (quotas) on their e-mail  
accounts from exceeding those limits. Please try to combine your  
comments into a single message if at all possible. The 2 posts a day  
is voluntary, and in some situations it is permissible to post more  
than twice.


i just didnt want you to think i was blowing smoke here.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Silent Lobby Cards: I guess my invitation got lost in the 
mail...

...to the cocktail party installing MOPO's new appraiser laureate. Mr. Cranston 
seems to fall into the angry consumer style of pricing, so if he is indeed 
raking in 300 bucks an hour to tell most people that their collections are full 
of crap, that doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

As far as auction fever and auctions determining the market value, just try a 
few .99 cent auctions of your own on ebay these days. I don't sell much in the 
way of older, higher value items at the moment, but I tried a couple of later 
Hitchcocks on a whim among a few .99 cent openers on ebay in the last year, one 
of which went for .99 (that sells frequently from 20 to up to 50) and one for 
8.00 (which has regularly auctioned for 50-over 100 since). I don't think the 
marketplace spoke very fairly and accurately in those cases and auction fever 
must of taken a hell of a lot of Tylenol that day.

Who can't relate as collectors or buyers to loving low openers? That's where 
the bargains come in that make the hunt worth it and offset the times that 
we've all paid more than we wanted just because of gottahaveit syndrome. But to 
suggest that they're the only true gauge of worth is just not the case. Even if 
you're of the if it's not in the top 5 percentile of rarity/desirability, it's 
crap mindset, I'd like to see what a seller with a solidly valued 10,000 
dollar item would think if he .99 cent ebayed it on the wrong day/week/month 
and had to sell it for a $500 or less high bid, then turned around a few months 
later and saw it reauctioned and pulled $13,500 on the right day/week/month.

Perhaps some of us lowly and delusional MOPOers would care to pool our money to 
buy an hour or two to be summarily crushed and dismissed and have our hopes 
dashed by Lamont as to the quality of our holdings in the hard truth of the 
market. Upon second thought, l think I'll continue to trust the will of the 
market at large, for better or worse, and the relationships I've enjoyed as a 
buyer and seller with so many great people on this list and hope that we all, 
including the estimable Channing (singled out not as a slight to my other 
friends but because he was an unfortunate target of the day), do the same.

Late Breaking P.S.:
Always seeking new contact information and resources, I did a quick search of 
this email address to save in my list of appraisers and experts, finding that 
it didn't come up to a professional appraiser outfit but a gentleman apparently 
in the film business. There are a few here involved in the biz, maybe someone 
can shed some light. He might just be loaning out the use of it to (or might 
not even know its being used by) another party to lend credence to criticism 
and bashing on here (sort of like an alleged professor of yore). Just a 
thought; I could be way off base.

Yours truly,
Sliman, P.I.

2009-07-29 Thread David Kusumoto


** Mr. or Ms. wise1...@aol.com -- Not doubting your credentials, but if you 
can't identify yourself -- remember that first impressions do matter.  

 

** To state opinions w/a serrated-edge that's intended to harm the reputation 
of someone like Channing Thomson -- who's been a long-standing member of MoPo 
in good standing -- and who generally avoids controversy -- I agree with Kirb 
-- your e-mail address of wise1...@aol.com isn't enough for me to assess your 
integrity or credibility, whether at $3/hour or $300/hour per appraisal.  

 

** If for no other reason than self-interest (and to bolster that portion of 
your business that involves appraisals), in my view, you owe it to your future 
customers to identify yourself and to identify your past and present 
affiliations -- thus allowing a select few to evaluate not only the credibility 
of your opinions, but also whether it's wise to throw appraisal business your 
way.  Opinions proffered under a cloak of anonymity are just that -- opinions 
from a person who sees adverse risk identifying himself or herself -- thus 
defeating the purpose of my even caring about your level of experience and/or 
curriculum vitae.  If you can't identify yourself professionally, it makes me 
think you might be doing business under the table -- or at the very least -- 
that you fear reprisals of some sort from the real job (whatever it is) that 
puts bread on your table.

 

** This is not a case of the membership circling its wagons -- it's more 
about growing curiosity among some of us who until today -- didn't object to 
the content or tenor of your posts.

 

** Until then, I think it's safer for those of us who make up the collecting 
portion of MoPo's membership -- to trust others on these boards to appraise 
what we own, from (in no particular order) Bruce to Grey to Rudy Franchi to 
Kirb to Walter R. to Joe B. to Phil or to any number of people I may have left 
out -- who are already well known as having a vested stake in maintaining their 
integrity as buyers and sellers -- as well as being fair appraisers of vintage 
movie paper.  Pricing and appraising are related, but they're two different 
subjective actions.  -d.

I've just listed these two 1929 items on EBAY. I think they are pretty 
incredible and priced right:

THE PAGAN (1929), $375.

These are a very interesting view into film marketing in the 
1920s silent movie period!

MoPo,

Hard to sit stay quiet while one of our more respected members sits in the
cross hairs.

Just want to second everyone's support for Channing. I'm there, too. 100%.

James Richard's post pretty much says it all. Kudos there. (Nice to have
another JR back on MoPo. I suspect some would disagree.)

Also it's outstanding to see Fred chiming in. More input please!

One good thing resulted out of this wise1too thingy: it got some lurkers off
their asses to contribute again after being silent for a year or so. (I
speak only of myself.)

Hang in there Channing!

THE PAGAN (1929), $375.

MoPo,
 
Hard to sit stay quiet while one of our more respected members sits in the

Just want to second everyone's support for Channing. I'm there, too. 100%.
 
James Richard's post pretty much says it all. Kudos there. (Nice to have

The Pagan is indeed a beaut but as a Myrna Loy fan I'd be very happy to have
Hardboiled Rose!

Both are unique items, though. I've never seen anything like them. A
hybrid 11x14 Movie Still and LC from the 1920s?

Geeze, for the right collector they could be underpriced and a bargain.

So that just leaves it's value as a curio.
   It is an interesting item but that doesn't mean it's worth any money.
   Rare doesn't translate to valuable or desired.
 
I can't think why the following quote comes to mind:

Who is she?  
  Who was she?
   Who does she hope to be?

Just my view as a pro that i was asked for.
I don't mean to drive anyone away but don't try and tell
me what a great deal you have when you are over-priced!
And I checked out your online store and other ebay prices.
Since you are so touchy i won't comment.
Perhaps, with your 25 years, you are living in the past?
I only have about 20 years of experience.

 The stars in the images are really not in demand except for Loy and then 
 it's usually a racy pre-code shot

 As a poster it also almost worthless as it's not really attractive.
 So that just leaves it's value as a curio.
 It is an interesting item but that doesn't mean it's worth any money.
 Rare doesn't translate to valuable or desired.
 The fairest way to evaluate it is to let the auction marketplace find it's 
 value.
 Something the seller obviously doesn't want to do.
 When one appraises you have to come up with a price span since you really 
 can't nail
 down an exact price due to various circumstances.
 I could se these going from $25 to $100.
 But really in the lower range.
 Sorry.
 
 And yes ebay is being ruined by overpriced sellers to afraid to really
 holds auctions.
 
 I applaud Bruce Hershenson and all the sellers who hold auctions with low
 starting points. They know that auction fever brings better price action
 than an over priced sale with free shipping!

Re: [MOPO] Silent Lobby Cards: I guess my invitation got lost in the mail...


I'm sorry.
i didn't mean to tread on the clubby atmosphere of dealers.
I have been a collector and sometimes seller all my life.
I have sold through auction houses (back in the day)
and on ebay.
I usually don't take part in most of the emails but from time to time  
do so.

And of course dealers point out their auctions through MOPO.
There is nothing wrong with high prices.
But please don't try and tell me your high prices are bargains
when they are not.
I was not attacking anybody but just giving my point of view which
is just as valid.
I am tired of seeing $150 posters on ebay with great Buy It Now
prices of $2,500! And that fact that those posters have been repeatedly
posted for over a year with no buyer only validates my point.
If you look at almost all the pre-1930 posters on ebay now
they all have outrageous Buy It Now prices.
Yes, that bother me.
So you dealers have choices to make. Either sell the items for what  
the market will pay

or keep asking the prices that no one wants to pay.
I have seen businesses die due to that later.
But I don't feel I was attacking
Just expressing my view.
Later I was asked to try and give an estimate on the items and I did.
no one refuted any of my arguments.
I kept it all on a business level.
I could give further business based assessments that further my  
arguments
but I guess you dealers would just feel i was attacking again. So I  
won't.

I really didn't intend to make any enemies.
So I've stated my feelings and again I'm sorry if anyone felt attacked.
I'll keep my mouth and wallet shut.

As far as auction fever and auctions determining the market value,  
just try a few .99 cent auctions of your own on ebay these days.  I  
don't sell much in the way of older, higher value items at the  
moment, but I tried a couple of later Hitchcocks on a whim among a  
few .99 cent openers on ebay in the last year, one of which went  
for .99 (that sells frequently from 20 to up to 50) and one for 8.00  
(which has regularly auctioned for 50-over 100 since).  I don't  
think the marketplace spoke very fairly and accurately in those  
cases and auction fever must of taken a hell of a lot of Tylenol  
that day.


Who can't relate as collectors or buyers to loving low openers?   
That's where the bargains come in that make the hunt worth it and  
offset the times that we've all paid more than we wanted just  
because of gottahaveit syndrome.  But to suggest that they're the  
only true gauge of worth is just not the case. Even if you're of the  
if it's not in the top 5 percentile of rarity/desirability, it's  
crap mindset, I'd like to see what a seller with a solidly valued  
10,000 dollar item would think if he .99 cent ebayed it on the wrong  
day/week/month and had to sell it for a $500 or less high bid, then  
turned around a few months later and saw it reauctioned and pulled  
$13,500 on the right day/week/month.


Perhaps some of us lowly and delusional MOPOers would care to pool  
our money to buy an hour or two to be summarily crushed and  
dismissed and have our hopes dashed by Lamont as to the quality of  
our holdings in the hard truth of the market.  Upon second thought,

As far as auction fever and auctions determining the

the moment, but I tried a couple of later Hitchcocks on a whim among a

(that sells frequently from 20 to up to 50) and one for 8.00 (which has
regularly auctioned for 50-over 100 since).  I don't think the
marketplace spoke very fairly and accurately in those cases and auction
fever must of taken a hell of a lot of Tylenol that day.

That's where the bargains come in that make the hunt worth it and offset

day/week/month and had to sell it for a $500 or less high bid, then
turned around a few months later and saw it reauctioned and pulled
$13,500 on the right day/week/month.

2009-07-29 Thread David Lieberman

First of all Channing is one of the good guys. If he priced them
at $20.00 or $2000.00 each.who really cares??

You all know our prices are higher than most.sometimes a lot higher.
We probably get more flack for it than anybody. We get emails all the time
saying things like how dare you ask that much! or you won't be in
business long charging those prices or its been on ebay for over a year at
that
priceit will never sell for that muchyou are crazy!or the
latest just yesterday:

Your business is so ridiculous on your pricing, the only people you can
be selling to, are dumb,rich people. Many pieces you are so far out of line,
I am surprised people consider you part of the real poster industry. Don't
be offended, your pricing speaks for itself.

Don't be offended?

I had to laugh as he threw that in there.

If our pricing wasn't workingwe would change it.

Check out next months MCW where we discuss in detail our high prices.

And to those of you who keep saying ebay is dead...here are just a few
of our recent higher than average sales ON EBAY (keep in mind most sales
are from our website, not on ebay).
