[MOPO] Optimised for Mobile

[David]

For those of you who use a mobile phone for more than just a paper 
weight then you might be excited to know that our site has been 
optimised for mobile surfing...if you need an explanation on mobile 
surfing then please feel free to continue to use your phone as a paper 
weight, or a hammer to press down the staples on the report you've just 
put together.


Anyway, see if it working here: http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/

When you get there at the top of the page on your your mobile phone 
(screen) on the left, tap the three little horizontal bars (that is the 
menu) - enjoy. BTW, Charlie has bee discussing poster printing if anyone 
is keen to share some 
knowledge...http://vintagemoviepostersforum.com/categories/printing-and-distribution


Reminds me of my father-in-law, a retired minister of the church who 
owns a mobile phone and diligently carries it around in his briefcase 
with him, he never ever uses it, he just liked to carry it around, so it 
can still be referred to as mobile.

[MOPO] FA: An incredible selection of 899 French, Italian, jumbo LCs, pressbooks & more close in hours; HALF at $4 or under, 37% at $1!

[Bruce Hershenson]

*I JUST LOOKED OVER THE** 999* FRENCH AND ITALIAN POSTERS, PRESSBOOKS,
JUMBO LCS & MORE *ENDING TONIGHT, AND I SAW LOTS AN**D LOTS OF REALLY
WILDLY UNDER-PRICED ITEMS (there are perhaps 10% that are fairly priced, if
that, but the other 90% are filled with super-low prices!). THE ONLY THING
I CAN FIGURE IS THAT PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR THE LAST FEW MINUTES OR HOURS
TO BID THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW IF THIS WILL HAPPEN, AND IF PRICES STAY
WHERE THEY ARE, THEN TRULY, THIS IS A TIME FOR ABSOLUTE STEALS!*

All of the posters we are currently auctioning are "oversized", but that
does not mean what you might think it does! The Italian and French posters *ARE
*"oversized" in the sense that most of them are very large posters (39x55,
55x78, and 47x63), but the jumbo lobby cards, large pressbooks and most of
the other items mostly measure 14x22 or smaller. But what makes *ALL *of
these "oversized" is that they need to be sent in large flat packages
(mostly measuring around 16x24) so we sell these sizes of posters
separately from those which can be sent in our standard size packages, and *ALL
*of the current 999 items *CAN *be combined into the same package, which
saves you a lot on shipping!

*WHERE ARE THE WINDOW CARDS?* Usually, we include regular movie window
cards in this set of auctions, but this time we had so many French and
Italian posters that we only included the window cards from stage plays,
and the regular movie window cards will have to wait until the next time we
auction these sizes, which will be around one month from now, June 3rd to
10th.

*WHY ARE THERE PRESSBOOKS IN THIS SET OF AUCTIONS, INSTEAD OF IN THE
MONTHLY "MISCELLANEOUS" AUCTIONS?* The difference is that the pressbooks
closing tonight are "oversized" and are more elaborate than the ones in the
"miscellaneous" auctions. For important movies (and sometimes just for
movies the studios wanted to make seem more important!) the studios would
create very large pressbooks, often with great color covers, and you will
find a really nice selection of these closing tonight!

Three times *EVERY *week we auction hundreds of items that sell for low,
low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of items for $1 and $2, and
around half of all that we auction goes for $14 and under). But Tuesday
night's *899 "very oversized" items (jumbo LCs, pressbooks, French,
Italian, & much more)*, closing tonight at
*http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/sort/1/13.html
* represent
*REALLY*incredible values, and yet many of these are currently
languishing at low,
low, prices!

With just 13 hours to go, they  include 122 items with no bids (14%), 330
items at $1 or with no bids (37%), 376 items at $2 or less (42%), 427 items
at $3 or less (48%), 447 items at $4 or less (50%), and 476 items at $5 or
less (53%)! That's right, there are *THIRTY SEVEN PERCENT* of these items
at $1 or no bid, *HALF *of these items at $4 or under and lots more
ridiculously low prices at *EVERY *price level, even at prices of $50, $100
or more!
 I mean, is there any way *THIS* 1970s re-release Italian one-panel

is not a steal at just $60 (especially since it is in our "very good"
condition, and it has sold for as high as $271 in the past, and would look
incredible on anyone's wall)?
It *WILL *be stolen at that price if no one else bids!

Here are the current top items:
7t080 PORGY stage play WC '27 Rouben Mamoulian directed, written by DuBose
& Dorothy 
Heyward!
7t685 LES PLUS GRANDS COMBATS DU SIECLE French 1p '60s Belinsky art of
Cassius Clay & boxing
greats
7t001 IT jumbo LC '27 distracting Clara Bow lays on Antonio Moreno's desk
as he 
works!
7t740 NUDE VAMPIRE French 1p '70 La Vampire nue, sci-fi/horror art by
Druillet!
7t002 IT jumbo LC '27 Clara Bow playing guitar on boat with Antonio
Moreno!
7t004 LADIES OF THE MOB jumbo LC '28 scared Clara Bow protected by Richard

Re: [MOPO] Vintage photo and still repair and restoration?

[Jay Nemeth-Johannes]

Hi Simon,

My parents owned a portrait photography studio back in the '50s and '60s. 
We regularly got this sort of restoration work.  The standard procedure was
to do the restoration artwork on the original and then make an
inter-negative and a new print.  However, glossy prints, such as those used
for stills were very tricky.  It is impossible to create that sheen, so
they generally created an intermediate matte print, did the restoration and
then created another negative and glossy print.  That makes it third
generation and the results were generally somewhat soft.

If I were to attack such a job these days, I think I would digitize, do
the restoration in photoshop and then create a new print.

You have one other issue to deal with though.  Vintage prints were on a
paper backing.  In the mid-70s, Kodak switched to a polyester based 'paper'
and obsoleted the paper stock.  The old paper stock hasn't been available
for 40 years now, so making a new print that looks and feels like the old
one is impossible.

Probably best to either find another copy, or live with the bad one, while
creating a modern laser printed restored copy for display purposes.

   Jay

As a lifelong photographer, I can state that Jay knows what he is talking about 
here.

Re: [MOPO] Vintage photo and still repair and restoration?

[Evan Zweifel]

If you have an old damage picture and just need someone to clean it up so that 
you can print a decent copy, I would suggest reddit.

I have seen amazing things done on in:  http://www.reddit.com/r/estoration

As far as I can tell, you just upload a scanned version to imgur.com and ask 
politely.

I suspect that there are people who can do a better job and charge you a 
considerable fee as well.

Evan

[MOPO] Probably already been talked about or discussed to death, but...

[Doug Taylor]

.I've been traveling and haven't kept up very well.

 

Interesting concept, although not the best examples.
