Re: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

[Dale Dilts]

I see them as 2 different hobbies, I don't want anything signed on a poster
I have for the poster collection.  If I am chasing a sig, I would rather
really have it on a trading card of some sort, but there are definitely a
seemingly larger crowd that like their posters signed these days. I would go
the reprint route if having a poster signed, OR window cards and locandinas
have nice white space available that are ideal for autos that would be lower
cost originals.

Subject: [MOPO] New Autographs on vintage Posters?

 

I was wondering what you guys think about newer autographs on vintage movie
posters?

 

Personally, I like vintage autographs. I have a Subway Window Card for THE
WARRIORS that was signed by almost the entire cast back in 1979. Since the
movie is a personal favorite, I really like that one. 

 

If I had the choice between an unsigned poster and one signed by the cast in
the last few years, I would definitely go for the unsigned one.

 

Today, I circled around buying an expensive CLOCKWORK ORANGE poster, which
turned out be signed by Malcolm McDowell. When you take a look on ebay, you
find tons of MM signatures on stills, posters, lobby cards, toy boxes, hats,
masks, and what not. When I mentioned to the seller that this guy apparently
signs everything you hold in front of him, he was totally offended and ended
our conversation.

 

My point being: An original 1973 Bob Dylan autograph on a PAT GARRETT AND
BILLY THE KID Onesheet might raise the value of this very affordable poster
to a completely different level.

 

On the other hand, in my personal perception, a more or less recent McDowell
signature on a rare and expensive CLOCKWORK ORANGE poster would much rather
lower the value than enhance it. Again, this is merely my personal opinion.

 

What do you think on this matter?

Guys, 
Have you noticed a seller on eBay named Famous Movie Posters of Filmland? 
They're listing some some very impressive reproductions of some expensive 
titles. Technology has now advanced to where an exact 27 X 41" scan can be 
made. (They're also making repros of 24 sheets that are remarkably clear.) 
Human behavior being what it is, it seems like only a matter of time before 
someone tries to pass one of these off to an unsuspecting newbie. I have no 
idea what kind of paper these are printed on...a clear indication of the poster 
not being vintage to a savvy old-timer...but it gives me the wim-wams to think 
that these are out there, just waiting for some swine to go "Hmmm...". 
These days, when the truth has become subjective, this kind of thing gives me 
pause. The repros ain't cheap; $125 for a very rare "Frankenstein" one sheet 
with an image like the title card. 
Has anyone else seen these?

I think we are seeing the final wave before the crash. Gen-x is the last of the 
paper collectors, once we dump look for market free fall.  Yes the top 5% of 
titles will always sell, but the collection sizes will number 5 not 50/500/5000

Here are a few more for you that have been pretty good investments for 
collectors:

Mad Max orange Australian one sheet: In 2005 I sold one for $800.00. A couple 
of months ago I sold another one for $8000.00 that's a fairly significant 
increase. Mad Max mauve one sheets and daybills have shown similar increases 
over the years.
Halloween Australian one sheet: These were selling for around $1000.00 15 years 
ago. There have been two recent sales of $4500.00
The Empire Strikes Back Australian one sheet. I sold a few of these 15 years 
ago for approx. $600.00. One recently sold for $3500.00

There are many more examples which I don't have the time to list.

You are right that many older posters do seem to be dropping in value and 
probably could not be considered good investments. There is not as much 
interest in genres like Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and even 50s Sci Fi and 
prices are certainly not setting any records.

No doubt it is a different story with comics as you point out.

fits into exactly what my own post said. some modern era material is increasing 
in value, but there is not much of an increasing list. You can't say modern

99% of posters titles are going nowhere.

as to the generational issue,  it used to be true in most hobbies, but that has 
narrowed considerably.
there are almost certainly few comic collectors today who read Tip Top comics 
in the 20s & 30s in the hobby today (if any). Same goes for Bringing Up Father, 
Wonder comics, Feature comics, Fritzi Ritz, Hi Spot comics.. I couldl list many 
dozens of titles, but the values of these are as much as 100x in top condition 
what they were 20 years ago - and they increase in value every year.

I'm not saying posters should be getting an annual value benefit, but over the 
course of 20 years, there damned well should be, in any healthy situation.

I think it is a case of collectors tastes changing and evolving over the years. 
There are plenty of examples of posters that have increased massively in value 
over the last 15 years or so. However, some of the posters that were considered 
high value years ago have decreased in value because the reality is that some 
of the younger collectors have no interest in them. I think this trend will 
continue.

Helmut, not sure why you call them 'freaks'



the poster hobby was once thriving and increasing in value & new collectors. 
none of that is true today.



values have been static for 99% of the hobby, or going negative.



a poster that sold for $5000 in 2010 and still sells for $5000 today is a 
serious loss of money, not just in investment dollars but in real value on the 
inflationary scale. That 5k only has half or less of it's buying power now. I 
don't know about you, but that's not where I want to be with my money.

a car costs 2-4x as much as they did in 2010.

a house costs 3-10x

a loaf of bread is 3x

a poster is the same or less.

that's just brutalizing your money

This is ridiculous, is it really that hard to layout out a net return chart for

Your items sells for 750 - 999.000 with buyers premium, you the buyer get .75 - 
.99 for that consigned item.

Hi Helmut,

Well I did get a perfunctory email, albeit no mention of how the BP affects
the final seller's net:
.

Hi Peter,



I believe your question was already answered.



Consignment rates vary depending on category and auction format. Heritage
sells over 40 categories of collectibles, all with very different markets.



As with every other auction venue, the seller’s fee (expressed as a
percentage of hammer) is deducted from the hammer price (winning bid
amount) realized by a lot. The seller’s fee is agreed to and memorialized
in a consignment contract.



If the seller’s fee was 25% of hammer for a lot that sells for $1000 or
less, the seller would net $37.50.



I’ve shown you where to locate buyer’s premium information for each
auction. Any bid you place on the website will tell you what the resultant
purchase price would be if you were to win the auction at that bid amount.

If you had a truck load of posters that you were sending to MO that has been 
road blocked, just send it a little further north to IA ;)

Calls for dealer stock have not been real fruit full here as many seem to think 
wholesale means ebay pricing, but sending out the annual call.  If a poster 
retails for 30.00 and you want to sell it to me for 25.00 as wholesale, lets 
not waste each others time. 

Now if you have a list available, and you have no where to send the sub 30.00 
posters in counts, lets talk. More than happy to take on higher priced stuff as 
well. We are talking straight cash, not consignment.

LD have FEW that will bring a $100 or a $50 every now and then but they are few 
and far between. Going rate on bulk collection purchases tend to be well under 
$2 a movie these days.

80's obscure titles and horror is where the little money is at. Also DTS disks 
bring a premium.  The last few discs released also bring a premium as there 
were far fewer pressed. Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, stuff from 1999 time period.

Dear Mopos -

I just came across what appears to be a well-curated collection of laser discs.
Good titles - boxed sets - noticed Japanese discs - some still sealed - 
including what I was told by the collector was the best laserdisc machine.

Before I commit to handling the collection, I wondered what the status of 
laserdisc collecting was at present.
Has the VHS craze seeped into the world of laserdiscs?

Any Mopos out there collect these - or is there some kind of marketplace - or 
site with titles and values, etc.?

I always thought laserdiscs were cool but never have found only a few here and 
there and no machine to play them.

Any laserdisc specialists in the audience?

Thanks.

[MOPO] No more posters for germany

[Dale Dilts]

Can global shipping get any more expensive and complicated.  Scratch this 
destination off the list.




There are important updates to how you sell goods to German customers on eBay. 

Starting on July 1, 2022, it is a legal requirement for sellers of commercial 
goods to Germans to have a valid Lucid-IdNr (packaging license) connected to 
their eBay account.

As part of your Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), you are obligated to 
follow these regulations set by the German Packaging Act (VerpackG). These 
regulations focus on sustainability and are designed to prevent and manage 
waste.


To comply with these changes, you’ll need to license your packaging with a dual 
system and register with the LUCID packaging register.

How to license your packaging
We have partnered with Lizenzero, a company that offers a straightforward way 
to license your packaging digitally using the Interseroh+ system. Please visit 
their website and contact their team if you have any questions or need guidance.
Visit Lizenzero

How to register your packaging with LUCID

Firstly, you’ll need to provide the Central Agency Packaging Register with:
Your company name, address and contact details
Your VAT / Tax ID
A declaration that your packaging is licensed with a dual system

You will then receive your EPR number. Enter this along with the amount of 
packaging you are using when you open an account with a dual system. Our 
partner Lizenzero lets you open an account without the number, but it should be 
provided as soon as possible. 

Please be sure to take the necessary steps outlined above by the deadline of 
July 1, 2022, or else we will be legally required to restrict your selling 
privileges for the German market.

Re: [MOPO] Poster Storage Question

[Dale Dilts]

Agree with this..

You may want to find some kind of dehumidifier.

I run one 24/7/365.  If you get over 60% humidity where you live its worth the

Toochis, 
I found an architect's wooden storage unit at an antique store. Standard one 
sheets fit perfectly. For linenbacked posters, I removed the drawer from the 
bottom storage space and the linenbacked posters fit perfectly with room to 
spare. So: you might be able to find something similar to fit your posters in, 
including the framed ones. Taking the drawers out makes things look less 
pleasing to the eye but it's practical. 
Mine cost a mere $200. I bought a beautiful old office desk at the same place 
for about the same price. It felt so great breaking my crappy Ikea fiberboard 
unite into pieces! 
Good luck; I know you've got some beautiful stuff. You may want to find some 
kind of dehumidifier for the area around whatever you find. We live 200 yards 
from a lake and it gets pretty humid.

Re: [MOPO] DHL - And Ebay

[Dale Dilts]

I quit using them for outbound. I had a tube they picked up at my door that was 
then never scanned again once it was put in route to the Cincinnati hub. I 
insured through endicia shipping for 450 which was full value. Sent in a claim, 
they are going to pay me 39.00, and yes I did not drop a zero. Less than 10% of 
the insured value.  Some legal liability threshold in place for weight to value 
ratio they quoted and if you need full value there is some other option to use 
(which is not made available in endicia/stamps software).  Still have received 
0.00 to date and this has been over 2 months now.  Could be a 1 off, but the 
whole thing soured me from using them. Up till then though, their rates had 
been about 10-20% cheaper than UPS and USPS and good delivery time lines.

Also I will say, I have had zero issues on inbound packages and receive a few a 
month from abroad with their services.

They do no have an option on Ebay for DHL.
I have a client in Europe with a DHL account and wants to buy on Ebay and have

Re: [MOPO] Thank you, Great Britain!

[Dale Dilts]

Its everywhere right now. The US 2-5 day delivery in the US is about 35% on 
time delivery right now if you use USPS. Some are a day late, some are a month. 
USPS is not even working package locate requests.  UPS and Fedex are much 
better, but still seeing minor delays. The cost difference for the under 2 lb 
just makes it too costly to use them for every package.

Stuff to Japan I am seeing 3-4 weeks. UK was around 3 weeks and these were 
normally 6-10 day service.  In general I am not shipping overseas anymore. I 
will still fill large orders on request, but the day to day 1 tube just isnt 
worth it. I ended up refunding a good majority and the tubes always get 
delivered. Lost mail just doesn't happen. I have had maybe 3 completely 
disappear and never scan delivered in 20 years.

Unfortunately what we are seeing is the midtier and low end INTL market is 
going to be completely localized to their country of origin. I used to buy tons 
of stuff from the UK, but I cannot justify paying $10 for a poster and $30-$50 
for shipping.  Obviously high end stuff this isnt going to impact as the 
shipping rate then becomes less comparable to the price being paid for the 
item.  Its unfortunate. Its like there is a global collusion to kill 
international commerce.

If any MoPo members from the UK voted for the Brexit: A WARM-HEARTED thank you

Not only has shipping to the UK become a ridiculous nightmare: UPS Express used 
to deliver the next day, when Corona hit, they took an extra day, thanks to the 
Brexit, my last package took 12 days for delivery, owed to 'Brexit delays'. And 
it's safe to assume that we have not seen the of this downward spiral for a 
long time.

Even worse: That Brexit sh*t is now affecting my DHL Express imports from the 
US. The normal runtime from the US to Germany used to be two days, and more 
often than not, my packages would clear customs before they even landed in 
Germany.

I have a shipment sitting at Leipzig Airport right now, and I just learne, that 
DHL currently takes two to six weeks to file a customs import declaration, 
thanks to the Brexit. Like everybody else, DHL has been hit by the pandemic, 
but they could manage that quite well. Now, they are wasting countless hours 
with filing tons and tons of apparently highly complicated import declarations 
for packages from the UK.

Do NOT use USPS right now.  First class is taking 2-3 weeks + for what is

Fedex and UPS never had an issue with either and price wise they are about the

Chris,

I honestly can't see that you will ever find a serious buyer for either the ad 
mats or the video posters. You could try to put them up on ebay in bulk lots 
with a low starting bid. Just make sure there's 'something' in there that 
people are actually interested in. 

And if that fails: Toss it all out.

Just my two cents.

Hi to everyone and hope you are all well in these difficult times

 

I am just curious as to what some of the dealers in this group think of 
Paypal’s refund policy eg:

 

If you need to refund a customer because they changed their mind, made a 
mistake, thought they were purchasing a video, over paid on postage, etc etc, 
Paypal refuses to refund the fee on the portion of the refund. 

 

I think it is very poor service to keep the fees even when the full amount has 
been refunded through no fault of the seller. What do you all think?

[MOPO] Too Much Stock?

[Dale Dilts]

Short and sweet, business card drop off if you will.

 

Always looking at "lists" if anyone has stock to part with.   I move a lot
of the sub 20.00 posters, so if you no longer have a home to dump stuff like
this, I might be a decent destination.

 

I pay decent prices for many new releases as well, if anyone is still hooked
up in that market. 

 

If nothing else keep my email address should any of you with large
inventories decide to leave the game.

 

Stay safe everyone.

Subject: [MOPO] "English international one-sheets" (mostly from current 
superhero movies) that we think were likely created in Thailand

 

Over the past few months we were consigned a number of "English international 
one-sheets" (mostly from current superhero movies), all of which have images 
NOT seen on domestic one-sheets. When we were first consigned them, we were 
naturally concerned that they could be some kind of "bootleg" posters (because 
of the different images, and mostly all great ones).

But we carefully examined them, and because they seemed to be printed on 
exactly the same paper as domestic one-sheets, and because they were 
double-sided and have sharp print quality and resolution, we felt they were 
authentic. We asked the consignors where they came from, and they said they 
were U.S. posters sent to Thailand for use in the Far East, and that sounded 
reasonable, so we began auctioning them.

But then we noticed that some posters measured slightly differently, and then 
someone pointed out there was a spelling error on a Joker poster. We contacted 
the consignor of that poster, who told us Warner Bros had noticed the typo and 
had reprinted the poster with a corrected spelling, so we auctioned the one 
with the spelling error as a "recalled one-sheet".

But then we were consigned yet more different styles of Joker teasers, and also 
more Avengers one-sheets, and someone with much time found spelling errors on 
several of them, one with FOUR different spelling errors. That, combined with 
the fact that ALL the posters seem to originate from Thailand, and that only 
two Thai sellers have them make us think it is much more likely that these are 
"Thai one-sheets", created in Thailand for use in Thailand.

We DON'T think they are "bootlegs", because of the very high printing quality, 
and they are double-sided. It seems extremely likely that whoever printed them 
had access to the studio art (not copied) and also had access to the same 
printing presses the studio uses. But if they were printed in the U.S., we 
don't think there would be any spelling errors or size variations, and we would 
think that, if they had been printed in the U.S., more than two sellers would 
be offering them, and that they would not only be from Thailand.

So our current best guess is that they were printed in Thailand, by the studio. 
Why are printed entirely in English? We don't know for sure, but we do know 
that a lot of posters used in Thailand are in English, so that is not 
surprising. The same situation existed in Lebanon and Switzerland in the 1970s 
to 1990s. Some of those countries posters from that time are printed entirely 
in English and can only be distinguished from U.S. posters by different paper 
used, and this may well be a similar situation, except now the Thai printers 
have access to the same paper.

Note that I am NOT saying that I am 100% certain that these posters were 
printed in Thailand and that they were NOT printed in the U.S. However, I have 
enough doubt, and enough evidence to think it is much more likely they were 
printed in Thailand (but they were printed very high quality, equal to that of 
U.S. one-sheets). But we do not have absolute proof either way, and everyone 
can make their own decision on these posters as to where they think they were 
printed.

One of the Thai sellers of these posters (who sells them on eBay) insists they 
were printed in the U.S., and he sent an image of a printed mailing label that 
backs this up, but I know that anyone could PhotoShop this. It is up to each 
buyer to decide what they believe. I have told you everything I know about 
these posters above. If I learn any further information, I will let you know 
that.

Now what we will do about these posters that we already auctioned? We have 
contacted most of the buyers of them (and will contact the last ones on Monday) 
and told them that since they were sold this poster as a U.S. one-sheet, and 
since we are now identifying it as a Thai one-sheet, they can each have a full 
refund, if they want to return it.

And we have been contacting the people who consigned these posters to us, and 
have told them what we feel, and what we are doing. And in the future, we will 
continue to auction these posters, but ONLY as "Thai one-sheets", with the 
explanation written about what we know about them above.

Re: [MOPO] WTB - (VERY BAD LUCK!) - Once Upon A Time in Hollywood - DS OS with R Rating. (NM to M)

[Dale Dilts]

Few quick hit notes:

 

Tubes from the studios come with no packing, 90% will be damaged when sent
solo as they free float.  Places that get larger quantity shipped in boxes,
it is VERY common to have impact marks on the edges, these look like spider
web type creases on the edges. It doesn't break the color, and you have to
be in the right light to see them, but extremely common as UPS and FEDEX
slam the boxes around.

 

Your ripple you are seeing, is not from rolling too tight, it is from
reverse rolling poster and not doing it gently. 

 

The  2" tube has nothing to do with condition issues. I ship almost
everything in 2" and have about a 1% damage rate and that is a crushed tube.
There is no reason any  type of damage should happen based on the tube
diameter.  

 

Now why is the R rating so hard to find.  Other than Paramount, if the
poster image doesn't change and the theaters don't specifically request the
rated ones be sent, they do not autoship the rated ones out probably 50% of
the time these days.  WB with Joker is a good example recently, there is a
large credit block final and a small credit block final. Many places never
got the large credit block final shipped to them.  On the poster you are
trying to hunt down, my folks never received the rated one, only the film
not rated style.

Help!

 

VERY BAD LUCK buying many DS copies with the "true" final USA R-rating
printed in the lower left corner.  Only one so far (since July) - has passed
condition tests for gift quality.  All were listed "new" by sellers and
looked great in photos - but arrived with horizontal rippling - or -
creasing / bends at the top or bottom edges.  Others were replete with
dimples down the center from top to bottom - or - "scuff-type" wear along
the vertical edges - way beyond the "few minor dings" that are OK and common
w/even "pristine" posters.

 

Any thoughts?  I think the rippling is caused by tight hand-rolling - to fit
into 2 inch (or smaller!) diameter sleeves and tubes - (see reference photos
below - the posters always look good at first but more probing reveals what
I'm talking about).  

 

I never get this from pro dealers using three-inch diameter tubes - but it's
coming up a lot with amateur sellers.  

 

Someone please set me straight.  I think these new-release posters are
machine rolled into tubes for theaters - but after re-sellers take them out
to take photos - they don't know how to re-roll large format paper - by hand
- and in a straight line - causing them to make too many hand-adjustments to
get them to fit back into these narrow tubes.  When I bring it up, they say,
"it was mint when shipped."  They're not aware of what happens when they use
narrow sleeves or tubes. 

 

Other posters have shown up w/small, but hard crease edge wear along the
vertical sides (vs. normal dings).

 

Of course I get that perfection is impossible - I just don't want to be
embarrassed gifting LESS than "near mint" / near pristine posters for RECENT
titles.  If you have ideas or can help - please message me with price and
condition. Thank you! (See photos below.)

Re: [MOPO] tubes

[Dale Dilts]

There are numerous tube makers out there.  Don't google for tubes when
searching, you want to look for paper core suppliers.

I bought from Sonoco for many years, then they put on a minimum $1500.00
purchases per core size and a min $10,000 purchase total a year. I don't
have room to store that many so they went by the way side. If you have room
for that many tubes, they run about 30% cheaper than yazoo.

There is also a core supplier in the Chicago area that was running cheaper
per tube, but freight got ridiculous.   I will be sending out for quotes
myself after the first of the year again, with yazoo's 6-10% increase this
summer, I think savings can be had.

Bottom line with most of these places, you need to buy 500 or more tubes to
make it worth their time to setup the machines for your run.  Any core
supplier can cut the same specs as yazoo, its normally getting the order to
you is where the price difference will come.

A bit of background: I contacted my home owner's insurance policy rep, and they 
require that I get my entire collection appraised before they will insure it. I 
have been in touch with some very reputable appraisers, and considering the 
size of my collection, the appraisal process alone will cost me in the 
thousands of dollars, hence my interest in obtaining coverage through a firm 
that specializes in collectibles. 

Thank you kindly for any suggestions!

In all seriousness if the venue were to move it makes a whole lot more sense

Cleveland and Chicago are natural choices.  Cleveland is obvious, Chicago
not so obvious.  Crazily enough, one of the better kept secrets is the Hyatt
Regency O'Hare.  Flight crews stay there; rooms are moderately priced and
clean and it's cheap to host events - as every industry, from largest to
wildest to tiniest, hosts something there each year.  Free shuttle to and
from the airport - and the hotel is a short walk to the Metro that takes you
downtown in 30 minutes for $5.  NO car rental required.  Hyatt is a pricey
name, but it's the cheapest property in greater Chicago because it's near
the airport in Rosemont and deep in the Chicago suburbs. -d.

from trip advisor:

 

To summarize: no heat in lobby, no cable all weekend, some showers only had
scalding hot water, some showers only had ice cold water, mold in rooms,
dressers hadn't been dusted ever, never got extra towels, no cups in rooms,
no refrigerator, ice makers didn't work on any floor, phone didn't work so
couldn't call front desk, pool half full, hot tub was roped off with a power
line hanging above it, dead bat in stairwell and to top it offfire
alarms went off at 7 am Sunday due to pipes bursting on the 5th floor due to
no heat up there. Water gushing out of the elevators, down stairways,
flooding rooms  hallways and making at least 2 inches of ice at the exit
door. Checking out was insane and the poor girl at the front desk had to
deal with dozens of irate customersno management to be found. We had
over $ 4,000 worth of rooms that all refused to pay for. 

 


so the question is at this late date will Steve Haynes be able to find a
suitable location in time and will it necessarily increase costs to attend

 

I know the end of this hotel will please some.. but will you be as pleased
if no replacement can be found?

A Fiction film is a film and that is all that it is. Wether it be about a

film about what ever the heck you want to. And to me, the freedom goes to
the viewer as well. Freedom to view what ever they would like to see. As for
the studio, they have the Freedom to do what ever they want to do. They made
the choice to not screen their film. At least the filmmakers had their
freedom to create it. I would like the freedom to set my own opinion on The
Interview. Now a country that completely lacks Freedom has created fear
taking away mine. We all know The Interview will be released in some format
sooner than later. And with all this controversy well controversy sells.

I think it is worth noting that Paramount Pictures- which is a US corp.- has
now pulled a 10 year old film from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt
Stone from exhibition. Their 2004 comedy film TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE
about by Kim Jung Un's father (Kim Jung-Il) was to be shown on Christmas Day
by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and other theatres.

 

If one is to believe the US Government (an understandable reach for many of
us) there are/were no credible threats of violence at movie theatres showing
The Interview. What does this mean for the exhibition of controversial films
and documentaries in the future? Prior films about abortion, homosexuality,
the death penalty and integration have prompted actual demonstrations and
credible threats, yet they were shown. Would anyone suggest that the new
film SELMA not be shown because there are still racists, Martin Luther King
haters or some poorly trained police  in our country? 

 

I also think it is worth noting, that prior to World War II when the US
actually had a Neutrality Act that limited political comment in films,
Columbia Pictures (now SONY owned) and The Three Stooges made and released
YOU NAZTY SPY despite the law and rampant fear and paranoia across the US.
At the same time, Warners made CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY, despite the law,
security issues on the Warners lot, credible threats to actors and
executives, lawsuits and all kinds of distribution issues.

I think it still amounts to giving in to a terrorist threat.  

 

Also Japan economically is not in a good place, I would think that has allot
to do with the decision to pull the film as well but I think if Sony had
gone ahead with showing the film it would shown the world that they are a
strong nation. Unfortunately this is not the case and is worrying.

Hi, Toochis:

 

Death of a President (2006), about the assassination of George W. Bush was
controversial, though not as much as this and it had only limited release
anyway because it was not a major studio film.

 

One thing that never gets mentioned in this controversy is that Sony is a
Japanese company and thus much more sensitive to pressure to North Korea
than a US corporation might be, given the dark history that connects Japan
and Korea and of course Japan's physical proximity to North Korea.

I think the 9/11-type threats made it tough for the release. Also the other
studios were upset that audiences would be too afraid to go to the movies. 

 

One question:  which movies have the assassination or killing of a
contemporary living person in them?  What kind of controversy did they
cause?

I only need the images if I want to check out the specific style of a given

Mainly the info I am looking for is title, format, condition and price. The
picture is the last thing I need. If I need to see a pic I can always click

So text mode is by far the best way to get these results for me

 Our Auction History http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archive.html

are stuck in text view, and it occurs to us that we don't think anyone
uses that text view, so we are thinking of removing it. We are giving you
one week to tell us whether you want it kept or not
mailto:phil...@emovieposter.com?subject=My%20thoughts%20on%20keeping%20the%

stay, then we will soon remove the text view so that you will then only be
viewing Auction History results in a Grid layout or a List layout, BOTH with
images.

The only reason we ever had the text view was back from the day (years
ago) when we had our images in a separate database from our results, and
when we combined the two databases we kept the text view because a few
people were still on dial up modems and they could not handle pages with
lots of images. But that is ancient history now, so unless we find some
reason we missed, this text view will be gone in one week!

Re: [MOPO] Dealer Posts on MoPo

[Dale Dilts]

If people feel the need to talk there are all kinds of options out there
called social media.  This list works well as is for what it is, and I for
one see no reason to change it. 

 

I have bought countless number of items from the for sale lists,  have sold
to the wanted posts and finally; gotten a few minutes of entertainment from
the complainer posts.

 

I don't post for sale on here just because I don't really feel the audience
would be interested in the items I have to offer.

 

I am by no means offended or feel stepped on by the folks that fire out for
sale listings everyday, I like getting them actually, and Scott hit the nail
no the head, learn to use a mail filter.

 

Information gathering in general has evolved, you can usually find an answer
to something with a 5 second google search so there is less need to query
others with much short of a  stumper.

 

Finally, we are movie poster collectors not a movie poster philosophers, the
bottom line at the end of the day comes to procuring or removing items from
the collection.

Subject: [MOPO] Dealer Posts on MoPo

 

This is a little long, so my apologies in advance.

 

One point to make here about many of the dealers who post to MoPo is that
they are abiding by the long-standing request to add FA or FS to their
subject line. (One Mexican lobby card dealer does not add FA or FS to
his posts, but you can't miss his unique subject lines if you're trying to
avoid his ads.) If you're a dealer posting to MoPo and not adding FA or
FS to your subject lines, I would appreciate your doing that going
forward.

 

Depending on how you read your e-mail, it is possible in some programs to
sort messages based on subject line and send them directly to the folder of
your choice, be it the recycle bin should you so desire. MS Outlook has this
feature. I'm not familiar with other e-mail programs, but I have to assume
such a feature is not exclusive to Outlook. Of course if you get MoPo in
digest form, you can't do this.

 

While I understand the argument that a movie poster discussion group is
hindered by an overload of FA or FS posts, the business of collecting
means we have to buy and sell to grow (or liquidate) our collections.  It is
a necessary part of the hobby. Eliminating such posts from MoPo will not
spark an explosion of movie poster discussion. Trust me on this. The real
problem here is not the dealer posts, but the ability of MoPo members to
effectively MANAGE their e-mail. 

 

However, if the membership thinks this needs addressed we can ask that
dealers to limit themselves to 1 commercial post per day. Thoughts??
Dealers can talk their fingers off if they want to send non-biz related
posts and share their wealth of knowledge with all of us! J

 

The lament that MoPo has no meaningful public discussions going on has come
up many times since the group started in 1995. If I had the time I'd try to
chart the cycle of MoPo complaints over the years.that would be
interesting! The group has mellowed considerably from the early days
(remember the Donnie/Style B revolt? Or  the controversial posts of the late
Susan Olsen? Who could forget the Susan vs JR battle in 2006?). MoPo has
matured into the quiet forum it is today. Everything changes and evolves
over time (i.e. the Oscars anyone?) After all MoPo is now moving towards 20
years of service and is the oldest poster forum on the Internet. As I said
in my Feb. 24th post on our 19th birthday..But will be make it to 20?
Should we? 

 

Maybe we ARE all talked out!

Paypal appears okay - but something must have happened to Ebay - maybe a big

Anybody able to list today - not list - or have any better intelligence on

Howdy y'all,

 

When any member ships to an international customer ... do you insure for
full value and state full value for customs purposes?

 

I am always asked if I will declare a nominal value on the item, so that the
international buyer does not have to pay the value added tax (VAT).

 

Sooo ... do you or don't you?

Re: [MOPO] Rudy Franchi, Heritage, no Inventory

[Dale Dilts]

I must be missing exactly how taking an inventory before sending would actually 
help? 

 

I could write up a nice long list of stuff, only send half of it, and then 
claim they lost it, how much sense does that make and in court who exactly is 
going to win that battle.

 

Making a list and taking pictures might make you feel real safe, but sending no 
list at all covers you just the same. Yes it would allow you to reconcile your 
list against a sales list, but other than that, pretty worthless as there is no 
proof what actually ever enters the mail stream or once opened what is done 
with it. 

 

If you are going to consign anything, you simply take the risk of your property 
leaving your hands with potentially no return. Like it or not, trust is still a 
must in any business that is not done person to person.

Hi all, 

 

I guess it would be sad to agree that trust no one is the best rule. I have 
send posters to Christies in London and took the time to make an inventory 
(because there were only a few items they wanted, they only took posters worth 
over US$250). Even sending the inventory which was very small they didn´t send 
the inventory of what they received and misplaced one of my posters which they 
found after I complained because they did not add it to their following 
auction. On the other hand, I have sent hundreds of posters and lobby cards to 
Bruce Hershenson, I asked if I needed  to send an inventory; they said no, I 
trusted them and so far they haven´t misplaced anything (and not making 
inventories has saved me many hours of work). To be frank I don´t have the 
memory to know if everything I had sent to them has been auction or is being 
held for a later auction, but I trust them and if there were item that were 
special (valuable) I would remember them the same way Geraldine remembers her 
good posters that are missing. 

 

Just to add more salt to this e-mail I would like to share an experience that I 
find funny: the same poster I sent to Christies in London, a 1964 NM My Fair 
Lady(which sold for about US$800), I offered to Christies in NY and they said 
they didn´t want it because of its low value, nevertheless, a few days later a 
man from that auction wrote to me saying that he would buy the poster from me 
if I wanted. I also offer that same poster to Heritage a few years ago and they 
said the poster wasn´t good enough for their auction. 

 

I very much appreciate Geraldine sharing with everyone what happened to her, it 
think is fantastic and cheap learning from others´ experiences.

 

Mainly for ethical reasons I think auctions should have standard procedure to 
treat all customers in the same careful and respectful manner no matter their 
age or origin or if they are dealers or collector but also for their reputation 
because there are groups of people like us (mopoers) that would share the good 
and the bad for the benefit of all. 

 

Best,

 

Carlos

I concur wholeheartedly….you just can’t ship a bunch of posters and claim foul 
when no inventory on your part was done no matter if you trust that identity or 
not.  When shipping a bunch of poster I always make an inventory and send along 
a copy of the inventory as well.  So when Grey or Bruce compares the list and 
there is a discrepancy there is at least a record.  What would have happened if 
the parcel was lost in the mail, then try to stake a claim with the insurance?

 As far as the eighties posters, I'll take a garage full of them, if 
 you can find them.  They sell pretty well, if they are good titles.



 Kirby,

 I agree, however the GOOD titles do well from ANY decade, the question
is:
 What will be considered a 'good' title decades later?

 As in any other collectibles market, if you're buying for investment 
 purposes, you have to know what you're doing. This goes for posters 
 from any period, it's obviously not limited to the 1980s.

 If you had bought that garage full of 1980s posters for 10 cents a 
 piece twenty years ago, you could certainly make money today, if you 
 paid $10 a pop, hoping that each and every one of them would be worth 
 at least $50 today, you would still have a hard time getting your money
back...

 Let's face it, the number of RAIN MEN (still a solid $4 title at
 emovieposter) far outnumbers the FERRIS BUELLER Internationals, that 
 can sell for $750-$1,000.

 While some titles are obviously more desirable than others, 1980s 
 poster certainly don't qualify as 'busted collectibles'.

 I don't know about the US, but over here, PHONE CARDS were THE big 
 'investment opportunity' in the late 1980s and early 90s, the prepaid 
 cards made to be used in public phone booths. Within a few years, an 
 whole industry developed around them and the market was FLOODED by 
 the darn things.
 For a few years, 'limited editions' were all over the place, with the
'top'
 titles selling for four-digit amounts. Ten thousands of collectors 
 believed in the amazing 'investment  potential', until one day, 
 mobile phones came along... ;-( Now, if you're lucky, and you have 
 enough time, I'm sure you can still find someone who'll pay you 50c 
 for what once was a '$1,000 phone card', but 99.9% are worth exactly 
 NOTHING these days... THAT'S what I call a busted investment!

Re: [MOPO] Potential Conflict of Interest? Is Gavel-Snipe owned by Heritage?

[Dale Dilts]

OK, I tried to put these mails on auto flush, but come on stick a pin in it,
who cares. 

 

Heritage is in the auction business last time I checked. Ebay allows people
to use their API to build sniping programs because it makes bidders feel all
warm and fuzzy making bids, so why shouldn't Heritage pilot their own with a
smaller user base.

 

These mails have really  come across to me as you have a chip on your
shoulder for heritage plain and simple.

 

Your second point makes no sense to me at all.  Banks cannot own investment
companies, soft drink companies cannot own a snack company. Oh my god,
Disney owns ABC and ESPN and don't forget.. Marvel Comics. the sky is
falling.

 

There is no story here, move on.

Thanks, Kerry, for that bit of info below.

* Meanwhile, I'm sorry, but the word, conspiracy implies seamy dealings
involving more than one person or companies gaming a system or flouting a
law.  I haven't suggested that about Heritage.  And as an ex-news guy, my
litmus test is to demand things in writing - or to get personal testimonies
backed with dates, numbers and other facts - not conjecture.  Every company
or person, including Heritage, deserves that.  Kerry's sleuthing shows that
Heritage registered the GavelSnipe domain name - but this doesn't
necessarily mean it still owns it.

* However, whether Heritage is a financial backer or an owner - always
matters in the world of business - in the same way that it matters to us
that Bank of America owns Merrill Lynch, that PepsiCo owns Frito-Lay, that
Disney owns ABC and ESPN, that ComCast owns NBC and that Rupert Murdoch owns
the NY Post, Fox Sports, the WSJ and movies and shows produced or
distributed by 20th Century Fox.  I have not suggested Heritage is breaking
the law nor is running up bids - yet the mildly defensive responses thus far
- address only that specific element.  I don't care about that part
personally (although it is a salient concern) - because my experiences with
Heritage have been largely positive.

* But I always care about transparency and proactive disclosure.  So if we
say that the ownership of Gavelsnipe by Heritage corporate was never
hidden, what does that mean exactly at the level of a consumer?  Does
never hidden mean it is being disclosed proactively, being disclosed upon
request, never disclosed officially - or is this simply universal common
knowledge among those in the know?  I could not find a one thing
addressing this on GavelSnipe's site.  That's odd, I thought.  It's like
having a light bulb go on while I'm visiting a website.  I always want to
know who owns or runs it.  And I was led to this only because of my
curiosity - in relation to my praise for the MoviePosterExchange.com site
and reading its FAQs.  MoviePosterExchange will use GavelSnipe as a third
party service, rather than doing it by itself.  No conflict there.  

* I repeat:  Doesn't your objectivity get tested when you replace the word,
Heritage - with the word, Sotheby's?  Or how about with the words,
Rupert Murdoch or Keith Olbermann?  I think it does make a difference.
In sum, all of this then becomes a personal preference based on the level of
trust you impart to a Sotheby's or a Murdoch or an Olbermann - combined with
the number of positive experiences or relationships you have or have had
with these people or entities.  

* Would it bother me a little if Sotheby's owned a company like GavelSnipe
and integrated it into a timed auction?  Speaking for myself, the answer is
yes.  For Heritage, the answer is no, but I think disclosing its
relationship with GavelSnipe is a pre-emptive strike to prevent others
with ill intentions from discovering it on their own.  When you've got
material info that may be controversial - my P.R. rule is to always get your
message out FIRST to prevent being placed in a defensive position and/or
losing control of a potential story about your brand. -d.

Hi, Everyone,
 
  I just received notification from eBay that as of June 1st, all packages

to have a tracking number...all packages.  Even some guy in Podunk U.S.A.
who sends out 100 packages a day, each one containing a near-worthless
trinket he's sold for 50 cents as of June 1st will be forced by the
powers-that-be at eBay to spend 70 cents extra per package to the Post
Office for a friggin' tracking number.
Let's see...that'll only cost Mr. Seller from Podunk an extra 70 bucks a
day...and the trinket he's sending out is only worth 50 cents!
  I don't know if other sellers agree with me, but I think eBay is truly
crossing the line here.  It's one thing if they raise their rates (which
they've done many times).  I can begrudgingly accept that.  But to issue me
a decree that I must provide a tracking number to them for every package I
ship as of June 1st makes me think that eBay is getting to be more and more
like Big Brother every day.  I'd like to hear if other sellers on eBay agree
with me or not.  If you do agree, I'd suggest you give eBay a call and let
them know what you think about it.  I just got off the phone after making a
call to eBay.  The airhead on the other end was obviously lock-step with
eBay's latest plan.  Of course, in their email they emphasize how many
rewards
they plan to give us as sellers, treating us like a bunch of imbeciles who
aren't fully aware of how transparent
their B.S. has become.  Hey, you can dip a turd in chocolate and cover it

Re: [MOPO] AS OF JUNE 1st, EBAY DEMANDS THAT ALL PACKAGES SENT HAVE TRACKING NUMBERS

[Dale Dilts]

IMPORTANT INFO ON HERE TO MAINTAIN A SELLER DISCOUNT %, READ UP SELLERS.






Highlights

Starting with the June 20 evaluation cycle, to achieve and keep your
Top-rated seller status, tracking information or a Delivery Confirmation
number must be uploaded to eBay on at least 90% of your shipments to US
buyers within your stated handling time. Start uploading your tracking by
May 1 to make sure you qualify on June 20.

Starting June 1, only those listings from Top-rated sellers that include
1-day or same day handling and a 14-day or longer return policy with a
money-back option will qualify for the greatest average boost in Best Match
and 20% final value fee discount.

You can choose not to offer 1-day handling or a 14-day or longer returns
on some or all of your listings. Based on your great track record, all your
listings will continue to receive some additional exposure and a Top-rated
seller badge. But only your listings with both of these services will
receive the maximum exposure and 20% final value fee discount.

Also starting June 1, the annual sales requirement for Top-rated status
will be lowered from $3,000 to $1,000 to expand eligibility to more sellers
who provide great service.

Special limited-time offer-extra 5% discount to help you get started
From March 1 through May 31, Top-rated sellers get a bonus 5% final value
fee discount for listings with 1-day handling and minimum 14-day return
policy with a money-back option. Plus your usual 20% Top-rated seller
discount will still be applied on these and all your listings. So start
adding these services now!
Tools to help you succeed

Starting this week, you'll be able to track your progress toward
Top-rated seller status-including the new requirement to upload tracking on
90% of your US transactions-in your Seller Dashboard.

By the end of April, current Top-rated sellers will be able to easily
identify those listings that don't include 1-day handling and a minimum
14-day return policy with a money-back option, and then edit those listings
in bulk. This information will be available in My eBay Selling, Selling
Manager and Selling Manager Pro.

Starting the week of May 2, sellers will begin getting access to
business policies, a new way to manage your own custom settings for
shipping, payments and returns from one central location, rather than
specifying the information separately on each listing. Using business
policies, you can create settings that qualify your listings for eBay
Top-rated seller discounts and apply these settings to your listings-or to a
specific group of existing listings-with just a few clicks.

Also starting the week of May 28, Top-rated sellers will be invited to
opt in to an easy new way to manage returns right from My eBay. Your buyer
can initiate a return and print a prepaid return shipping label with a click
of a button in My eBay. When you get the return, you can initiate a refund
and get your final value fee credited with a single click on your end. This
new process will be available to all Top-rated sellers by mid-summer.

Timeline for changes
Take Action

Start now to think about how you can adapt your business practices to
qualify for the Top-rated seller program and maximize your benefits.

Make sure you upload tracking information or Delivery Confirmation
on all your US transactions within your stated handling time. eBay will
begin counting your transactions toward the new requirement starting May 1.
One great way to meet this requirement is to use eBay Labels-USPSR Delivery
ConfirmationT is now free for First-Class Package service and automatically
uploaded to eBay.

Start now to add 1-day handling time and a minimum 14-day return
policy with money-back option to your listings whenever possible. Remember,
from March 1 through May 31, Top-rated sellers will get a bonus 5% final
value fee discount for listings with 1-day handling and minimum 14-day
return policy with money-back option. Plus the usual 20% Top-rated seller
discount will still be applied on all their listings.

If you're an existing Top-rated seller, at the end of April, start
checking your Selling Reminders on the My eBay All Selling page or the new
Listing Improvement section of the Selling Manager summary page to see which
listings don't meet the new service standards, and then easily edit those
listings in bulk.

If you currently offer 3-day or 7-day returns, be sure to update your
listings to offer at least a 14-day return policy. Also, select Money back
or Money back or exchange as your refund method before these options are
retired the first week of May.

To boost your efficiency in adding these services and managing returns,
opt in to use the new business policies and the new way to manage returns
from My eBay as soon as they're available to you.

It can be determined that a rolled Thing poster from 82' is fake, but you

As requested by rixposterz rick ryan, we sent 4 of our ROLLED never folded

He said that if we did this, and that if Todd authenticated them, that he

We agreed to humor him, so we sent some in to be authenticated.

he thought were questionable.as we would have gladly sent in any that
he requested. HE NEVER RESPONDED.
 
He would not specify which of our posters he thought were questionable. Why?
I have no idea.
 
We even asked all of mopo if anyone else thought any of our posters were
questionable...and no one responded..so the only one person who

Why do I get the feeling that it will be some sort of half ass apology?
 
 
full disclosurean interesting thing. The actual paper test results on
the Italian Job Printers's Proof came back saying something to the effect of
inconclusive, paper may be from the 1980's...which is really
strange. After discussing it with Todd we both pretty much agreed that just
by looking at the poster and its age, and the fact that it has an NSS stamp
on the back, and the fact that it from the same find where every poster
this guy had was from 1968-1972, and that no other proof like this one has
ever surfacedthat it is authentic.
 
 
p.s. Todd, thanks.I'll pay you for the paper tests asap.

It is kind of weird isn't it?...he has hinted in the past (more than once)
that this is his last batch...only to follow up with more for sale. Not
sure what the strategy is there.And why would he lamely disguise his
name? Dan Rickard / Nick Darard? Who is he hiding from? He also said he was
leaving the hobby back in 2006..so this is a pretty long farewell.
Didn't he also claim to be writing an authentication book? Whatever happened
to that? No matter how you slice it his shipping charge is a bit highbut
the no returns policy definitely will keep away a lot of potential
bidders.

Hello, Claude, Helmut and MOPO, 

 

International shipping from the U.S. (and I presume from other countries) is
expensive.  It often matches the value of a poster.

Yet a surprising portion of our business is now from International customers
and often for modestly priced items.  If we sell something over $500, I try
to talk

the client into some kind of expedited shipping.  Last winter standard
service to the UK was PAINFUL.  Clients waited

weeks to get posters.

 

I understand what Dan Rickard (that is nick darard isn't it) wants to
accomplish with his shipping arrangement.  And if I were

buying something from him, his shipping terms would encourage me to buy more
than one item.  Look at the total price if you can live

with it and bid if you want something he has.

 

He isn't really a dealer.  But don't you, Dan, keep saying this is your last
load only to follow up with more?

Hi Claude,

 

you're of course right, $65 is his overseas rate, but it applies to ANYTHING
he sells, so that rate applies to an unbacked poster as well.

 

About my rates: For any folded poster I charge a 7 Euros (US-$9.75 at
today's rate) to any destination worldwide. This even includes a tracking
number and insurance. 

I will ship a linenbacked onesheet (or any other rolled poster) to the US
for as low as EUR 18 ($25). 

 

Needless to say, there ARE several more expensive ways I could ship, but I'm
extremely cautious to use the best opportunity for my CLIENTS. Also, unlike
many US sellers (and I do not mean the aforementioned seller here), I use
quality packing materials, which I BUY, I do not steal them the post office.


 

Not only do I not charge a 'handling fee' or a 'queuing at the post office
fee', with these rate, I even lose a considerable amount of money on
shipping costs every year. 

 

Then again, I write this off to CUSTOMER SERVICE, after all I consider
myself a poster dealer, not a transport broker. 

 

I hope this answers your question.

 

Best,

 

Helmut

Re: [MOPO] Dave Dave Dave

[Dale Dilts]

Is there detail on this that can be read up on? This one concerns me. 

Different printers, different storage location would all test differently in
regards to PH levels I would think. Not all runs were done at the same
locations correct? What if one location had their paper on hand for 10 years
and the other location had just purchased theirs?


Can't tell me NSS bought paper only when they had some posters to run. I
would imagine they bought some major tonnage and that they had reams upon
reams on hand for quite some time.

Now the paper dating based on chemical make-up is intriguing, but what it
now sounds like is someone got in with the studio or the printers and bought
a run, cause these had to be made up from the original print materials and
not photographing or scanning and original, especially with late 80's
technology.

  the Mile High comics collection is a great example of potential

  the pages of those comic books were bone white due to the storage

Re: [MOPO] Art Market Booming while Poster Market is Sinking??

[Dale Dilts]

I must be missing something, key 70's - late 80's posters are bringing more
money than they ever have; which coincides with people that were kids/teens
during that era hitting their prime earning years. As the older stuff ages,
the number of people interested in those pieces will decline, how many
people under 50 care about Audrey Hepburn or Steven McQueen, raise your
hands. 
 
Yes universal horror, Chaplin, Stooges, Keaton, Monroe, Elvis, 50's Sci-fi
will always demand interest because the draw goes beyond generational
interest. Classics that stand the test of time, will always command good
money, however as the generation that terms a film a classic ages, the
amount of interest in those title will wane. 
 
 All I know is people that say it is a buyers market and prices are low sure
as hell must not be trying to buy the same stuff I am, because the prices
have never been higher and the number of bidders sure are not shrinking.

Re: [MOPO] mpgrading

[Dale Dilts]

This is exactly my issue with this whole concept. The grade is only good
until the item is moved from the place it was graded at. The authentication
side makes sense, and the record keeping of how many in existence is fine,
but without encapsulation, there is no way to guarantee the grade holds
beyond the point in time it was looked at. This would be great for auction
houses doing signature type auctions, but really I don't see the long term
benefit of this service as the grade is not transferable with a sale or
change of ownership unless it is a hand to hand transaction.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] mpgrading


Sean is also correct in respect to grading, however since there is no way to
encapsulate (nor would anyone want this) a poster, which is why we take such
a high grade picture of the poster and make it available on our website. The
picture acts as a VISUAL RECORD to a prospective buyer of it's condition
when it was graded and how it looks at the time of the sale even if it has
changed hands 10 times.

Right now if you buy a poster from ANY auction site, or dealer for that
matter, the grade is only good while it is on the PREMISES. Obviously if it
is damaged in transit or torn while opening the package the grade is not
longer worth anything. (It is funny that this issue never seems to be
thought of when people buy posters under the current system.) Which is
another reason why we  will always re-grade a poster for half the original
price if the current grade comes into question. 

The last thing to insure against (or at least address) that the grade is
consistent and the poster hasn't been damaged once it has left our site, is
our grading system. For instance if a poster has a 1 tear this has been
noted in our computer application, if we see this poster again and it is now
a 2 tear it would be noted and the grade would be adjusted if it does
indeed change. Once again, EVERY SINGLE DEFECT is noted  in our Grading
Application.  And we can be also called on the phone and will be happy to
discuss the flaws we have on record with a potential customer so that he can
check it against what is front of him if the poster isn't sent back to us.

So Sean, from this prospective, the grade is as close to being INSURED as
possible and I hope you would agree it is surely at least a step better then
what is currently available.

Hope this helps explain what we are doing. I enjoy the questions and all the
positive emails, public and private.

Todd Spoor

Adrian,
most of the grading services will say that the increased fee for the more
expensive item is to handle the increased insurance costs when keeping an
item of extraordinary value at their facilities.
 
My question regarding a Frankenstein one-sheet that the chap in your example
has - what is the point in grading a Frankenstein one-sheet?  
Is this an item that the six collectors who own one are looking to upgrade
if they get a chance, or is there a potential buyer who might be eyeing one
but says o, your Frankenstein one-sheet is only in 7.0 condition?
Sorry old boy, if it was a 7.5 I'd be a buyer for sure, but I just can't
allow one in that condition into my collection so I'll hold out for a nicer
one.
 
I like the concept of authenticating, but grading without some measure to
insure the grade is nearly worthless (in my initial thoughts, I will reserve
the right to change my mind).  This is why stamps, coins, cards, comics, etc
get encapsulated so that there is some degree of preservation of the item in
the condition it was graded.
If I bring a graded poster to Cinevent, and then you, me, and a couple of
other people look at it - there is a good chance that it already is in a
different grade than what the certificate/tag says.  Or there would be
enough doubt that you wouldn't care what grade the certificate says since
there is no standard of care/preservation applied to the item since grading.

near 100% of anything I make in a year back into purchases and if my sources
ever dried up I would still buy as actively as I do now. I do not scour for
items to flip for profit. I worked my ass off for the contacts I have and
did so for love of the hobby because when I started every door was slammed
in my face when trying to get posters from my local theater and I had never
heard of MCW at that time and ebay did not exist. 
 
I call my poster sales a business because US laws deem I must do so, not
because I see it that way. How many people do you know that sell stuff at
cost or at a loss just to pass a poster on, does that make much business
sense. I have had this argument with others.  If I don't make money in a
month, guess what, I dont care because I still got the latest releases which
I want to keep my collection active. I dont rely on this for an income, I
rely on it to pad my collection. I guess my take on a dealer is someone that
relies on the income to get by month to month or actively considers profit
margin on their sales when pricing what they sell.

How many feedbacks for sales do you have on eBay these days, Dale?
Or how many multiples of new one sheets have you sold in the last 5 years?
 
I have only met one dealer in posters who doesn't actually collect anything
at all, so it's really semantics we are discussing, I guess.

Let's see... you buy stuff, you sell stuff. That's called dealing in
something, no matter what it is.
 
If Michael wants $75 for his insert, that's his business, if he gets it even
if it's not now it may be later.
 
Using the I'm a collector routine that somehow makes one seem special,
because you're not a dealer - who, as we know, are the scum of the earth
until they have something you want and are usually the first place
collectors turn for free advice when they are trying to sell something -
is tiring.
 
Most champions of the hobby set themselves up as collectors first but
they are buying and selling regularly so are dealers. They even use the term
the hobby so it doesn't sound like they are in business - hobby being a
seemingly far more friendly term than business... because
businessusually means profit and heaven forbid that a collector
make a profit. Hobbymeasn we are all in this together, looking out for our
mutually interested buddies. 
 
Sheesh! as Ari would say.

Re: [MOPO] 3rd Party Grading Comes to Posters

[Dale Dilts]

Jaime got a pass through legal system plain and simple. Its like saying, I
was creating fake hundred dollar bills to see how good I could get them, but
honestly judge, I never intended them to be used for real currency.
 
No one, and I mean NO ONE, would spend the time and effort it took to create
these unless there is something to be gained in their bank account
somewhere. Anyone that is supporting Jaime as having one pulled over on him
is putting the shades on themselves plain and simple.

While Kerry may have been the mastermind, the creator - as in the actual
creator of the fakes is/was Jaime.
 
The gun analogy is a poor one, as I agree that there is nothing inherently
wrong with asking someone to make a fake (suspicious - yes, wrong - no), but
once Jaime found out that the fakes were in the marketplace and being
marketed as originals, he had a responsibility to not only inform the people
who had sent him fakes for inspection/further work that they were fakes, but
a moral obligation of declining to produce further copies. 
Yet he did neither of these things and continued to make them until the
fraud became public knowledge.
 
So maybe a better analogy is:  if you were 100% certain that a person you
sold a gun to last week committed murder with that gun, and that they also
committed murder with a gun you sold them two weeks ago, would you sell them
another gun when they came into your store this week and asked for one?

Jim,
 
I WASN'T FOOLED!!
 
And there were a lot of other knowledgeable collectors who weren't fooled
either.  Again, you don't know what you're talking about.  
 
If John was so concerned and wanted to help the industry so much, he
shouldn't have charged $175. plus, to authenticate each item.  I guess you
also think Carol Tincup was another person who was trying to help the
industry when she charged you $350. an item.
 
Jim, there were many collectors who sent me posters and lobby cards to
authenticate.  Do you know how much I charged them??  $00.00, ZERO, NADDA,
NOTHING.  Now, you tell me, who's really trying to help the industry or
help out collectors, John and Carol??
 
Yet, you still support the creator of this entire mess. 
 
I know you're referring to Jaime but the creator of this mess was your good
buddy Kerry and Kerry alone.
 
Charges against Jaime were dropped by the court as there was no evidence to
bring a case against him.
 
Again, I'll give you this analogy...
 
If I own a gun shop and sell someone a gun and they go out and kill 10
people, is the gun shop owner liable??  NO.  Is the gun manufacturer
liable??  NO.
 
Guess who's liable??  The guy who decided to break the law and kill 10
people, that's who's responsible, not the gun shop owner and not the gun
manufacturer.
 
How come you didn't bring a lawsuit against Anthony in New York??  After
all, Anthony is the one who actually did the printing.  I haven't seen you
mention anything about him??  If Jaime is responsible, Anthony should also
be just as responsible.  
 
Jim, as much as you'd like the gun shop owner to be responsible for the
deaths of those 10 people, he's not the one.
 
Differences aside...I feel real bad for you Jim, since your loss in this
situation is by far the biggest and far worse than anybody elses and
honestly, I hope that you eventually get every penny back.  I can also
understand your frustration and how stressful this has been on you and your
family losing so much money and I can also understand you want anyone that

Todd what you aren't saying is that he repaired that Dracula Window card
prior to this fake problem surfacing.  No one suspected anything.  All
approaches changed when it was discovered the hobby had a bad problem.
Virtually everyone in the hobby was fooled, not just John.  And when
awareness of the problem surfaced, John and others then took a different
look at things.  Yet, you still support the creator of this entire mess.  It
seems pretty ironic that on one hand you support the 100% creator of fakes,

Re: [MOPO] Article on EBAY's Recent Problems

They already rape you on the back end with final sale percentages then double 
dip you on the paypal fees, I don't know why they don't just let everyone list 
for free and just take their back-end cuts. That would increase the amounts of 
listings immensely and might actual get traffic numbers going the right

The changes are working OK for me but I dont know if they will ultimately be a

can manipulate their listings so that they appear high in the searches. 
However, most dont have the time to work the system and their listings become 
lost. Many sellers have given up on auctions and now just concentrate on fixed 
price listings. 

The big problem for eBay is that they keep changing their groundrules. The end 
result is that they have lost many great sellers like Bruce and Rich and others 
who have set up successful websites. 
John is correct. Bruce and I have set up successful websites : - ) 

but he's right otherwise also. people are gaming the system and as a buyer - 
the site is a pain in the a$$ 

I wish I could: 
1) filter out the sellers who never list anything I want and yet weekly relist 
their items making me take more time to look at the auction listing. just to 
click a button that says hide this seller would be great 

2) get rid of the people selling repros in the originals category 

3) send each non-poster seller a tutorial on how to pack posters, so that the 
super-rare wc I found for Dylan's Don't Look Back which was an ebay treasure 
won for $1.99 and was nice  flat, does not get shipped in a bubble envelope 
that the post office used as a conveyer belt bumper panel before forwarding on 
to me. Yeah she refunded the $1.99 to me.. but the poster went from $250-350 
down to $25 

I'm sure I have other suggestions.. those are the main gripes

The printing of the posters might have been what triggered this lawsuit, but as 
a whole, this is not a good situation for the hobby if you collect newer

I guess Disney has enough money to pursue a suit to determine whether or not 
their posters are protected by copyright. As long as I can remember, the legal 
view of it was that because these posters were produced for promotional 
distribution purposes, anyone had the right to freely use, duplicate and 
distribute the image on the posters. Disney could be claiming (and I don't know 
if they are) that their characters are trademark and hence the posters can't be 
reproduced because it contains their trademark characters. I'd like to read 
more about the case. IF that's indeed Disney's claim then a decision in this 
case probably wouldn't effect the other posters reproduced by MovieGoods. FRANC

Hi Andy: 

Thank's so much for posting this. I wondered for years how long Moviegoods 
could get away with this. I always considered it copyright infringement even 
though they thought the posters were in the public domain. They have been 
making money hand over fist for many years. Interesting! Thank's again!

Re: [MOPO] Ebay changes its listing categories

[Dale Dilts]

 

Find "Opt Out" at the bottom of the ebay page to get out of the NEW SEARCH EXPERIENCE, should take you back to normal categories.

 -- Original message from CK MacLeod ckmac...@ckmac.com: --


 What are you talking about?
 
 1.  It all is the same as ever as of a few minutes ago.
 2.  If they do change, all of your listings may be collapsed into one larger
 category without your having to change anything.
 3.  If they do change, you can easily and straightforwardly mass edit item
 categories in TurboLister, if that's your preference (as I believe I've
 noted here before, FileExchange is much faster and easier for simple
 revisions - category listings would be a snap).  Depending on your computer,
 you may want to break 3000 listings into groups of a few hundred or so - but
 import/export shouldn't be necessary.  Even if you decide to participate in
 the eBay "item specifics," you can multiple item edit those, too.
 4.  Maybe you really don't have anything better to do with your time.

 For all the dealers on the board I'm posting this alert that Ebay
 apparently has changed some of its category listings. Formerly lobby
 card listings needed to be broken out by decades. Now all lobby cards
 are going to be posted under one category which to me makes no sense
 since posters will continue to be broken out by decades. While this
 sounds like no big deal, for those of you who keep a dbase in Ebay's
 Turbo lister, it is a big deal because it will mean having to change all
 the listings that are stored. I have 3000+ listings stored. I will have
 to export them to a spread changes and make the change externally and
 then reimport them to Turbo as if I have nothing better to do with my
 time. Do any of these jokers at Ebay ever consider any of the

well..up until now I've pretty much gone with the flow with ebays
changes.I've never seen what all the fuss and bitching was about. None
of the changes had any real drastic effect on me so I really didn't care.

 

until today.


they announced they will no longer allow sellers to accept checks or money
orders. Period.

 

I asked my rep if they will still allow direct bank wire transfersshe
said yes.

 

I then listened to the online webinar they just had that ended an hour ago
and asked them directly if wire transfers would be allowed, and they told me
NO.

 

so I'm not sure what the real answer isbut I'm guessing it is no.

 

if this is the case, I told them I would be removing my very valuable items
from my store. There is no way I'm allowing somebody to buy a $20,000.00
poster with paypal or a credit card. Its not even the fees that bother
me.its that lone dishonest buyer out there somewhere that will buy
something from mepay with a credit cardreceive the poster from
meand then claim I sent them an empty package.do a chargeback
dispute...and we all know the buyer wins every time.so that would
leave me screwed.

 

This happened to me once with about an $80.00 item several years agoand
there is no way as a seller you can prove you sent a poster and not an empty
box. The buyer will always win.

 

So there is no way I'm keeping my expensive items in my store and have ebay
force me to take a credit card or paypal for them. I don't mind keeping the
lesser valued items in there, but they are really shooting themselves in the
foot with this one.

 

granted...most of my high dollar items are sold off of ebaydirectly on
my website...so these new changes won't kill me.but it just pisses me
off that they could be so stupid.

 

anything sold on my site over $2000.00 must be paid for by cash, check,
money order, or wire transfer.

 

I asked this to ebay.will they force those who sell a $10,000 AUTOMOBILE
on ebay to take paypal or credit cards for the entire amount? They said no,
they will still allow checks.

 

why should autos get an exemption?


what about all the other high end collectibles on ebay that routinely sell
for several thousand dollarscoins, stamps, baseball cards, comics, movie
and music memoribilia?? They are forcing all these sellers to accept paypal
or credit cards.unless of course the buyer can pick it up in
personthen they can pay in cash or by check.

 

 

I'm officially jumping on the bandwagon.ebay is run by full retards.
(apologies to tropic thunder).

 As you said, it breaks down into collectors and dealers. Dealers need 
 to roll all of those extra expenses into the total price paid, 
 however, that is NOT the price that the poster SOLD for.

 If I paid 10K for a poster, 2k for BP, 825. for tax, and 100. for

 Seems to me there's a difference between the sales price (i.e.  
 what the
 poster sold for) and the cost of acquiring it.  If I buy a poster -- 
 or anything
 -- from someone in person (or from someone from whom I can pick it
 up)
 there is no shipping fee.  That doesn't mean the item sold for less.  
 It means there were no added fees.

 While a Buyer's Premium is something I would have to pay if I bought 
 a poster through an auction house, it is a fee that I need to be 
 willing to pay but isn't truly part of the poster's price, no more 
 than sales tax, or money later spent to fix up, linenback, or frame a 
 poster.  Those may be part of what I need or want to spend on the 
 poster, but they aren't part of the price.

 Frankly, saying it is sounds more like dealers trying to find ways to 
 push up the price of a poster.  It sold for $1000 plus a 20% BP, so 
 the real price is $1200.  Next time, someone should pay $1150 plus a 
 BP of 15% so the value will be $1440.  It's a fee on a fee on a fee 
 that people are using to artificially inflate the value.

 It is, I'll concede, more accurate to say the *cost* of the poster 
 was the auction price plus all other expenses incurred.  But that 
 doesn't make it the value of the poster.

Appraised value/value and the cost of the item are two completely different

If I bid 10,000 and the bottom line is 12,000 to get here, it COST me 12,000. I 
don't care if it appraises for .50 it cost me 12,000 to get it to me to hang it

 A poster has been taken to appraiser number 1, and is said to be  
 worth $10K. (follow me folks..).  the owner of this poster consigns  
 it to heritage, and heritage also estimates that it is worth between  
 $9-10K, and states this fact on the auction page. .. again, so we are  
 clear-- this poster has an appraised value of 10 grand... the auction  
 may realize a winning bid that is less, or possibly higher than this  
 appraised amount.
 
 the winning bidder gets the poster for 10K. in order for the winner  
 to take the poster home, he must also pay the 19.5% BP, which is the  
 auction house fee/commission (plus shipping, if he isn't in dallas  
 personally).
 
 the winning bidder (who is in dallas), picks up his poster and pays a  
 total of $11,950.00. he goes home, happy, and decides to take his new  
 treasure to another appraiser, for a second opinion.
 
 Appraiser number 2 looks at the poster, and tells the winning bidder  
 that he would also appraise the piece at $9500-10K.
 
 The winning buyer, in a huff, tells the appraiser he is wrong--- that  
 he has just had to pay a 1950.00 BP at an auction house and the  
 poster is, in the buyer's own opinion, now worth just under $12K,  
 because that was the buyer's total outlay. It IS worth 2000.00 more  
 because i had to pay that, in addition to the ten grand! cries the  
 winning bidder.
 
 i guarantee that appraiser number 2 (or 3, 4 or 5) would tell him  
 that he was wrong. a paid fee for an item (whether it be a poster,  
 antique furniture, rare coin, etc) is not added on to suddenly  
 elevate an item's appraised value. that appraised value is in the  
 object itself.
 
 make sense?

  My initial reaction to all this was ridiculous and I replied as  
  such.  i now find it amusing and relate it to a number of  
  experiences in my profession which I will relate to you.
 
  I have represented owners of real estate in NYC for many years and  
  I spend most of my time negotiating commercial leases.  These  
  leases require tenants to pay annual rent.  Rent consists of base  
  rent which is the cost per sq. ft. and is the same for every year  
  of the lease.  Then there are escalation clauses which increase the  
  amount that the tenant pays and they are based on certain expenses  
  which increase for the landlord and are passed through to each  
  tenant.  Some of these are operating escalation, tax escalation,  
  fuel escalation, capital expenses required by law escalation,  
  asbestos removal cost escalation, etc.
 
  Many times when a lease has been in effect for years a tenant is  
  shocked to learn that the $100,000 base rent is now $180,000 due to  
  the escalations in the lease.  When the tenant gets a renewal lease  
  for more than $180,000 he calls and wants to know why the rent is  
  going from $100,000 to $200,000 instead of from $180,000 to  
  $200,000.  The tenant never took the escalation into account even  
  though he paid it all the years of the lease and many just cannot  
  grasp this concept.
 
  No matter how you pay the rent or look at the auction results, the  
  price you paid was the bottom line.  For all of you who think the  
  price is the hammer price and the rest are only incidentals, I have  
  a question.  When you bid, do you take the buyer's premium into  
  consideration?
 
  My final statement concerns a poster you bought at auction and  
  decide to sell at a later date.  Let's assume you paid $1000 plus  
  $200 BP.  When someone asks you what you paid for it, do you tell  
  him 1000 or 1200.  If you are trying to sell it for 1500 and the  
  person asks what you paid, I guarantee you will not say  
  1000---period.
 
  I guess by now you can tell I am relaxing because I never write  
  such long emails.  My children are at my home for the week and they  
  are putting my grandchildren to bed.

Re: [MOPO] Fwd: FW: 9-0-# On Your Telephone--IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ

[Dale Dilts]

Here is the rest of the story.

 

What the warning letter floating around the Net doesn't say is that this
scam only works on telephones where you have to dial 9 to get an outside
line. Unless you have to dial 9 to get an outside line at home, this scam
does not affect residential telephone users. Dialing nine-zero-pound on a
residential phone will only give you a busy signal. That's it. 

On some business phones, however, dialing nine-zero-pound may transfer a
call to an outside operator and give the caller the opportunity to call
anywhere in the world and charge it to your business' phone bill ... maybe.
It all depends on how your business' telephone system is set up. If your
company doesn't require you to dial 9 to get an outside line (for example,
if you have a direct outside telephone line on your desk or if your
company's phone system requires you to dial a number other than 9 to get an
outside line) the nine-zero-pound scam does not affect you. Also, if your
company's phone system is set up so that you cannot make a long distance
call once you have accessed an outside line (a lot of companies now limit
all outside lines to local calls only), the nine-zero-pound scam does not
affect you either. 

The nine-zero-pound story only affects those businesses that require you
to dial 9 to get an outside line and then place no restrictions on who or
where you can call once you get that outside line. And, just to be
anal-retentive, let me say one more time that, unless you have to dial 9 to
get an outside line at home, this scam does not affect residential telephone
users.

Re: [MOPO] ..............not only posters

[Dale Dilts]

I buy a lot of Quads and the damage rate
on them tends to run about 50% on ones that are shipped rolled. If the poster
does not come in a PVC tube it normally does not stand a chance. I dont
know where a lot of the UK
sellers get their tubes, but they feel like a wrapping paper core. Country is
in desperate need of a decent core manufacturer.



Needless to say, I do not bid too high
anymore on rolled stuff due to the expectation of it coming damaged. Always
pleasantly surprised if it makes it as it left.

Hi Walter,











I think the problem may have been the 40x60. I recently
[allegedly] bought a 40x60 from the UK and the seller tried sending it
twice through the Royal Mail and it got returned to them after weeks each time
with no explanation. It turns out the RM wouldn't take packages that
large although apparently the rejection only happens further on
down the line than the package counter so nobody ever tells you it's too big.











Well, that's the story I finally put together anyway. Happily the
seller was believable and gladlyrefunded my money once I decided somebody
was trying to tell me something about that (Day of the Triffids)
poster...











It may yet show up back at the seller's place but I doubt it will ever
show up for you.

By now, enough time has elapsed that I cannot leave feedback at all nor can I

It is not a ton of money and I will live but, if you buy

 Why not get an original painting or artist print or sculpture for
 these types of asking prices?  Sheesh, use your head.

Question


Hello All!

I have about 800 assorted half sheet movie posters I want to ship from 
California to the East Coast. Can anyone tell me the best/most economical way to 
do this? So far, sending them in Tubes (about 40 of them!) via USPS or UPS is 
what I've come up with. Your advice is much needed and appreciated

Thanks everyone!

Ed :-)

Don't forget the ol' free carpet core tubing. Stop by any local carpet store
and they should have one lying around. They are pretty durable, they few
times I have had to use one, had no issues at all.

From Kirby last night



I have heard from Ed Poole who has found lodging
here in Austin -- it took him 18 hours to drive to Austin
from New Orleans
-- and he and his family are safe. LAMP is online and working normally. We
are working to get him connected to the site. Sue has been able to send out
some e-mails.

Subject: [MOPO] eBay Prices Realized

Hey all--

A while back there was a bit of discussion of good price guides.  My
question is this...Is there anyone that is actively collecting results of
closed eBay auctions?  I know that in the past John Kisch would archive
selected eBay auctions.  What I would like to know is if anyone does this
now?  I think something like this could be a nice resource, however time
consuming I'm sure.

Best,
Myles

Aution sentry user. It has been too reliable to abandon. Dan does a good job
of updating quickly when ebay decides to change the interface.

Re: [MOPO] Subj: [MOPO] Paypal question

[Dale Dilts]

Ship immediately UNLESS it is an e-check,
then I wait for the clearance confirmation mail. I had a few of these not clear
so I quit immediate shipment on this payment type.
