Re: [MOPO] A Word of Caution to EBAY Sellers here -- Our Insane Greek Buyer is Back!
When this guy bid up two posters on me two weeks ago, I got nervous if it was the same buyer with a different ID. He did not respond to 2 invoices with my courteous messages attached, so I filed a non-pay dispute on day 11. He paid me $60plus a few hours later. File the dispute immediately.

Had you included some kind of reference for the story (which you yourself were very vague on the details about) -- my thoughts about little old ladies passing *idle, unsubstantiated* gossip over the backyard fence would never have been made it into print :) However, as far as I can discover, the link you provide doesn't actually substantiate that Stone said anything about either dosing or wanting to does his father's wine. It's just a comment about the same vague story made by someone one else. I've actually spent a bit of time searching the web myself on this and can't find anything like an substantive source indicating Stone said any such thing, so we're right back to my original comment re: idle, unsubstantiated gossip. The story (at least as you've relayed it so far and from what I have not been able to discover about it) sounds like one of those off-the-cuff joking remarks some celebrity makes (possibly while rapping with Bill Maher) which then gets picked up and passed around on the internet and ends up taking on a completely different context and/or set of details from the original statement.

Re: [MOPO] Another Portal on the Horizon--THIEF OF BAGDAD
It IS one of the GREAT designs. I just picked this one up on Ebay a few weeks back. It is from a 1984 screening with the San Jose Symphony. It's on heavy stock and absolutely beautiful. http://i629.photobucket.com/albums/uu12/brude2000/THIEFOFBAGDAD.jpg --- On Thu, 7/1/10, James Richard wrote: From: James Richard Subject: Re: [MOPO] Another Portal on the Horizon--THIEF OF BAGDAD To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010, 6:38 PM I just Bought It Now for the heck of it. I've never seen the Portal version, maybe it will be better quality than the repro that Moviegoods and others routinely sell for $20. I note that the seller really didn't claim it was an original just that it was a "vintage poster". This has become a common descriptive ploy used by all those selling poster prints. In this case, however, he actually did state it was a "later issue" even if he did neglect to mention the less-than-27x41 size and the presence of the Portal credit line at the bottom of the poster. Heck, if you think about it, the Portal releases sort of do qualify as "vintage" posters at this point -- they are now pushing 35 years old!

Re: [MOPO] Is there something wrong with this hobby?
All very valid and interesting facts of life in this weird hobby. I can understand why lobbies of Rita have and will continue to drop in value, but I think good posters of her will always hold a premium. Does Good girl / bad girl art steadily escalate in value? What about other genres? What is holding and what is not? It seems like romantic dramas die despite star power, but most film noir still seems to command respect even without a big name. Sci-Fi and Horror are obvious winners. And art? Not so much by artist, but subject matter like war, western and circus movies? I'd like to hear what the seasoned pros think. - Ted --- On Sat, 7/3/10, James Richard wrote: From: James Richard Subject: Re: [MOPO] Is there something wrong with this hobby? To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, July 3, 2010, 2:55 AM Channing, There is a serious recession on and it is affecting collectible prices across the board. I am picking up collectibles in all fields on Ebay for 20% to 30% of what they were routinely going for 5 years ago. Those who deny the severity of this recession are simply in, well, denial. Beyond that, you certainly know that an auction that gets no interest this week can suddenly get a lot of action three weeks later -- it depends on who is looking at any given time and there's no way to predict that. And then there's the fact that Ebay has become primarily a venue for those looking to make cheap scores. But, besides all those things, there is another issue affecting prices on older material that too many collectors and dealers simply won't face up to. I've been saying this for years and every time I do the sellers on MOPO come out and slap me down and say "Oh no, Rita Hayworth/Fred Astaire/Charlie Chaplin/Paul Newman/Steve McQueen/You Name The Star are "just as big" and "just as popular" with buyers "as they ever were" and that paper on those older stars still commands the kind of prices it did 10 or 20 years ago. But the value of any memorabilia is in the *memory* of the beholder. And those who remember -- and want to collect -- material on the stars/films/books/toys of the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's and even the 1950's are far fewer now than they were 10 or 20 years ago. Heck, even the 1970's are now getting to be about 40 years ago. (gasp!) For a young person of today to be big on collecting stuff from the 1950's (about 60 years ago) would like us being back in the 1960's again and caring passionately about collecting stuff from 1910! Actually, it's pretty amazing that so much memorabilia from the 1930's through the 1960's is still in as much demand as it is. Thank god for modern medical science, classic movie channels and The Antiques Road Show. The brutal fact-of-life about collecting any memorabilia is that those who collect it grow older, fill up their walls and shelves, buy less and less as time goes by and eventually they die and drop out of the market completely. While that process is happening, younger generations come along who have their own stars and they are not so hot on the stars of the previous generations. After a few generations, most of the "old" stars inevitably lose much of their collectible and money-bringing luster. It's just the way life goes. Sure, there will always be a few iconic titles that pull in the bucks because they have become a "Legend in the Hobby" (whatever hobby you care to name). The newer/younger collectors will always want to buy the Legendary Items because they've heard so much raving about them from the old timers. But just because a star was part of one legendary item does not mean that, over time, the coat tails of that item will extend to that star's other paper. A good example is Steve McQueen in BULLIT. That particular legendary title will always command a good price, but how much do most of the posters for Steve McQueen's *other* movies go for these days? Not much. Honestly, how many people under 40 know much, if anything, about Rita Hayworth? Other than knowing the name is that of "a great old movie star" I mean. Of those younger buyers who do know something of her and her films, how many care very much, at least as far as their own collections go? Of those younger buyers who know and care somewhat, how much are they willing to pay for a Rita Hayworth lobby card? You found out the the answer: Not much.

Wikipedia omitted MIXED COMPANY and FITZWILLY, which Frazetta painted entirely or partially (FITZWILLY) and the CONAN 1980 advance teaser, which used his iconic paperback book cover from the Lancer series. and the insert poster for DIARY OF A BACHELOR, the only Frazetta I might be missing, looks very much like his work.

He did a few movie posters, but of course he is far better known for his fantasy art. I first met him in the early 1970s at his home, and he was just what he seemed, an ordinary Brooklyn guy with a matchless artistic talent. RIP Frank.

Re: [MOPO] Interesting anti-eBay posts from a collector
I can feel your pain. And to reduce these painful events, I always ask sellers that are new to me to package carefully, mark DO NOT BEND, sleeve the posters in a tube, etc, etc. I ask very nicely and then, I always follow up that request with a "I will leave feedback upon receipt" to remind them that there are good and bad consequences... Try it. It seems to work most of the time.

For example, I bought two very nice stills last week. When I got them, they had been mailed with cardboard that had bends in both pieces. As a result, the stills have bends right down the middle which they did not have before. I have never left negative feedback but what is a good buyer supposed to do in a case like this? Naturally, the stills took on the shape of the cardboard. There have been other horror stories, too. I get so frustrated.

I don't understand it at all. One of my pet peeves about movie posters is receiving them rolled inside out. Do you know how hard it is to unroll an inside out poster? Where's the common sense of it all?" and then "I received a package today from Ebay seller "backlotbooks", $220 total.

When I took out the bag, sure enough, there were the rolled posters with no protection, just bouncing around inside the tube like a pinball. I took them out and there was of course edge cracking from the shipment. Then the jerk sent me a wrong version of one of the posters. I ordered the Advance Ghostbusters with only the ghost, but he sent the advance with the words below the ghost. Not to mention the fact that it was in trash condition and the one I bought was excellent. The other 4 posters in the tube seemed decent aside from light edge cracking from the transit. I told the seller unless he offered me a sweetheart refund offer, I was leaving negative feedback on all purchases. I've had it up to "here" with these sellers. I think I'm going to start leaving negative feedback if ANYTHING goes wrong on the part of the seller and prompt and equal compensation isn't offered. ARGHH!"

Maybe the guy was bidding while rolling nickels from his piggie bank. Every
time he completed a roll, he upped his bid by $2. It might have been faster if
he was rolling quarters but he had to save those for the laundramat.

Doug - Just so I understand this you were high bidder and this guy came in
near the end and bid multiple times in $2 increments until he bested your top
bid and won the item or, as an extended auction format, you kept bidding
against him raising his ante and he just kept upping you by $2 increments, and
won the item?
I'm hard-pressed to see how it can be interpreted as shilling (as others have
noted, he won the item, defeating the usual object of the shill bidder) or even
assumed as such.
I think all of us who have sold on eBay and other auctions over several years
can recount stories of nutty bid histories that as the seller we know aren't
shilled but just don't make any sense... or seem to, except that two or more
people really wanted that thing. I had two bidders slug it out over a
CALIFORNIA DOLLS lobby set on eBay a few years ago and it ended up at $500.
Utterly bizarre.
ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS is a title that's picked up a little speed in the last
couple of years.
If one can't snipe on MPB (can one?) and they have extended format auctions (do
they?) then one has to resort to the hammer blow high bid right at the end that
the guy who's diddling away at $2 increments simply can't beat.
I just don't get the logic , Doug, that makes you immediately think that $2
incremental bids in the last few minutes of an auction means a shill.

Phil E.

It's one thing to think an auction has a shill bidder, it's another thing to
post your thoughts on MOPO. You are after all only guessing that this auction
had a shill bidder. Which I doubt by the way.
If this auction had a shill bidder, he was a crappy at it because he won.

I've bid on email auctions now for the last 11 years almost daily. Also every
time a new bidder to the system may bid this way until they get the hang of
things, but one thing they almost never do is drive an item up that high, one
small amount at a time... a lack of trust. Once they are relaxed with the
auctions and the sellers they will then start to set reserves for themselves.
This bidder (if a true bidder), only objective was to drive the price of this
poster up hoping that I would go even higher. I would be very surprised if they
make a payment for that poster. I doubt that anyone will ever know...

Re: [MOPO] R.I.P. Munchkin Coroner will be Missed at 2010 Oz-Travaganza
Each year, I attend the local Oz-travaganza in nearby Chittenango, NY, where you could usually find Meinhardt and the last few surviving Munchkins each summer. I first met this cool dude in the late 80s at a Vegas kick-off for the video release. He had lots of funny stories to tell and adored his fans. He will be missed this year. Fortunately, there are a few of the original 'wee' folk still with us. But, they are getting up in years. If you want to meet Jerry Maren (lollipop munchkin) or Margaret Pellegrini (Flower Pot and Sleepyhead), they'll be back here in Chittenango this summer.

Re: [MOPO] WTB: Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan with Bob Peak art?
Gotta agree with Phil, the Peak art for ST2 is beautiful. I seem to remember back when the film premiered here in the States, the Peak art 'disappeared' and the studio slapped together that ugly-ass photo sheet in it's stead. Does anyone know whether there is any truth to that 'rumor?' I have also heard that the art was in England (where it was used as the Intl one-sheet) and didn't get to the States in time for the printing of the poster. Maybe, that's how it 'disappeared?' Recently, Rich sold one at movieposterbid.com. and Bruce has sold both one sheets and daybills with this art. Any backstory is appreciated...

Re: [MOPO] An excellent thought provoking article: Ten Signposts to Identify Endangered Collecting Categories

I can even recognize the thousand yard stare in some, so I know we're safe for a while longer. I think as long as these new collectors are exposed to "classic" paper, they'll eventually move beyond the posters from their youths and into serious cinema history leaning collections. Happily, it's sort of a self-perpetuating cycle - the old posters get you into the old movies, then the old movies get you into more old posters.

The movie poster hobby of today reminds me of the comics hobby circa 1969. No official price guide, lots and lots of super-cheap items (once you get past the top 10% of items that everyone wants), which are available in large numbers in my auctions and yours and on eBay. Lots of people who really love what they collect, and few "investor types" (once you get past the top 10% of items that everyone wants). And a relatively small hobby, that could grow much larger. So I am not "doom and gloom" about posters, because anyone can start collecting tomorrow, and $100 will buy them a large box of items in my auctions or yours or on eBay (if they leave alone the top 10% of items that everyone wants), and to me, that makes for a healthy hobby.

Anyone who challenges that thought is roundly admonished by the complete majority of the dealers & collectors - even though the number of comic stores has decreased by 75% (or more) during the last 15 years and publishers are printing less comics. As a matter of fact, I had dinner with a longtime friend who used to be one of the top five comic distributors and we discussed it. there may be less than 15% of the number of comic stores there were in 1990, but the only company that could show the proof is Diamond and they won't tell. As a matter of fact, they keep trumpeting the hobby. Sean and I have been involved in that hobby for 45+ years (in my case. 40+ as a dealer) and 25+ (in Sean's case) seeing as both of us have more faith in movie posters - I think that says alot about the hobby and Bruce as well was a big person in the hobby in the 70s.

Re: [MOPO] Any bets on METROPOLIS?
If memory serves me correctly, 2001 was NOT in continuous release from April 1968 to (a minimum January) 1970. It premiered in NYC the same week as Planet of the Apes. I saw both within two weeks time in 1968. While Planet of the Apes scored high audience response, 2001 perplexed moviegoers and disappeared pretty quickly from first-run theaters. Planet of the Apes continued to roll for several months before it too was 'retired' from first-run release. Maybe some of the old-timers can back me on this, but when "Star Wars" hit the one-year-in-release mark in 1978, the industry proclaimed it as the first movie since Gone With the Wind to stay in continuous release for a FULL year. While I don't own one, I've seen 2001 R1970 posters clearly marked as such. This poster appears to be an anomaly if the 'R' is not present. --- On Sat, 3/20/10, Bruce Hershenson wrote: From: Bruce Hershenson Subject: Re: [MOPO] Any bets on METROPOLIS?

But in these circumstances it is also vital to include the original release date as well, and to explain what you explain below on the auction description, especially on a $2,000 poster. When I sell GWTW items from either 1940 or 1941, I have a lengthy explanation that explains that the movie was in continuous release during those years, but that new posters were prepared in 1940 and 1941, and I add it to those items. Similarly, when I sell items from Wings from the 1928 or 1929 releases, I explain that with a similar long saved explanation detailing all that happened. I think it would be irresponsible and deceptive to sell a 1940 GWTW item or a 1928 Wings items and solely give the year, and trust that "everyone" knows the original release date or the entire story, and not mention it.

It was in continuous release from its 1968 debut up through 1970. They did revamp the campaign, as almost all are aware, in 1969-1970 to include the “Star-Child” artwork and the “Psychedelic Eye” design. The half sheet we sold yesterday, which I have never seen before and I am a “2001” collector, was dated 1970 but note there was no R before the date on the poster. That is because the poster was part of the same continual release of this film. In fact , many of the one sheet posters with the 1970 date have the 1968 NSS stamp on the backside. The “Starchild” one sheet from that printing have been known to have the Style “D” on them as well as that would be the style not used in the 1968 release. I know that some would perhaps claim that since it is not from 1968, it must be rerelease but would the same people claim that the 1940 release of Gone with the Wind is a rerelease?

I couldn't agree more. While I have my "wants," like most collectors, I zig-zag across the map, impulsively drawn from alluring image to alluring image. One minute I HAVE to have THAT.

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, March 20, 2010, 11:31 AM This is an interesting topic to me. Poster value has been a big subject in the last few days. New poster prices vs. older poster prices and now this Metropolis conversation. I've been making a study of something I was personally involved with and had planned to report back to the group a little later but now seems like a good time to offer my preliminary findings. I consigned to Bruce a lot of 70 vintage, lesser title, lesser condition, posters. This was the same lot I offered to MOPO members less than a year ago. No one was interested at 750. I don't recall anyone even making an offer. In fact, one of our more esteemed members emailed me privately to say there wasn't one poster on the list worth ten dollars and I should break them up sell them in smaller lots. In Bruce's auctions 2 of these posters sold for 112.00 and 124.00. Several sold in the 50 - 60 dollar range and again many sold in the 30 - 40 range. One title, the one in the worst possible condition sold for 45.00! Individually these posters sold for over double what I offered them for. No one is more surprised than me since I was convinced, by MOPO standards, I bought a pig in poke. What I realized from all this is no one in the hobby really knows anything, people are willing to spend good money on precisely what they want and no poster is worth the price when either buying or selling. Bottom line of the study... It's all a crap shoot so you better collect what you like and consider yourself lucky if you sell it for more than you paid.

Here's the thing about expensive movie posters. It doesn't amount to a hill of beans what all the "rooters" think a poster SHOULD sell for. All that matters is what the few well-heeled bidders think, and when one of the major players (Kirk Hammett) switches from buyer to seller, that is a HUGE reversal in the tiny high end part of the hobby. The entire hobby is a pyramid. I have sold to 31,000 movie paper fans, and maybe 20,000 of those would never spend even $100 on a single item. Probably another 8,000 would never spend $500, and probably another 2,000 would never spend $1,000. That last 1,000 or so HAVE spent $1,000 or more on a single poster. How many have spent $40,000 or more? A couple of dozen or so. And it is what THEY think of the Metropolis insert that matters, not what anyone else thinks. I am content to keep mostly selling to those 20,000 who like posters between $1 and $100. THAT part of the hobby is doing quite well! Bruce P.S.

Where the value of the poster is concerned, it must be carefully REMOVED from the foam core by a competent restorer and then linen-backed (a process which costs at least $200).

Re: [MOPO] ROLLED STYLE A STAR WARS 1-SHEETS SORRY, I PUT WRONG LINK
Sure looks like the real thing The only thing that puzzles me is where did Lamp get their info from regarding 1st, 2nd and 3rd printing? I bought my A sheet (funky type) within one week of seeing the movie in the summer of 1977. I bought it from a reputable dealer (The Movie Gallery, NY) where I picked the cleanest one from the bunch he had. Could the 3rd printing (funky) have been available that soon after it's initial release? Remember, I'm talking June 1977. The 5 or 6 he had on hand were all funky text, something I had never seen before on any one sheet. I was suspicious of the funky text so, I checked these out at several local theaters showing the movie that summer. All of the ones that I saw in theaters had the funky text. I did not see a universal font on this poster until about 10 years ago. Can someone enlighten me?

Re: [MOPO] Anyone surprised?
I met Corey Haim during a Lost Boys video promotion in Las Vegas, late 1980s. I was very impressed by this young man and it is sad to see how his career spiraled and ended like this. I will always remember him as Lucas and the wheelchair-bound "boy who cried werewolf" in Silver Bullet. RIP Corey. --- On Sat, 3/13/10, Greg wrote: From: Greg Subject: Re: [MOPO] Anyone surprised? To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Saturday, March 13, 2010, 6:32 PM Guys & Gals...in retrospect, I was coming from a place of anger regarding the death of Corey Haim, and forgive me if I assaulted any tender sensibilities. It's just that I have watched so many of my friends and fellow musicians die young, old and needlessly from drugs that I just throw up my hands in dismay and frustration at times, and sarcasm is often a deflection for me. Personally? I've almost checked out early from the Big Hotel at least 3 times from ODs, and you know what...it would have indeed been a stupid way to die, and I would have left lots of sadness & wreckage behind. I guess I was just lucky, unlike Mr. Haim.. I am so in the trenches when it comes to drugs, I work with addicts as a musical counselor, and they are lovely amazing people, but GOD they do dumb things to themselves. If I seemed less than sensitive to Haim's death, it's just that I have seen too much of it, and occasionally my brain explodes. I beg the group's pardon for being such a seemingly insensitive dick. Group hug? Greg Douglass PS-I still think LOST BOYS is overrrated. I ain't taking that shit back.
