[MOPO] Our special auction of 52 WWI & WWII patriotic war posters ends in a few hours; lots of great deals at current prices on ultra-rare posters!

[Bruce Hershenson]

There are just 9 hours left in *our special auction of 52 of the very
finest WWI & WWII patriotic war posters* and while some of them are close
to a fair final selling price, there are still quite a few of them that are
at very low prices, way under where they have sold for in the past! In
fact, there are still *THIR**TEEN *items under $54 each, which seems
especially low, given that six of those were professionally linenbacked,
and all of these 52 posters have wonderful images!

You want to steal some great rare war posters and only pay the actual
shipping to get them to you (and no buyers premiums)? You have 9 hours
left, but don't take too long to go to *
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/15.html* because you don't want
to forget and miss out.

There are just 52 posters in the auction, but they really are "the best of
the best". Here are images and links to *ALL* of the posters:
