Adrian Cowdry, 1964-2016

 

* I'm writing this to amplify the dimensions of a charismatic man we have
all lost.  I never met Adrian in person.  But over two decades, we engaged
in zillions of conversations that went well beyond his known affection for
movie posters, World War II history, conservative U.K. politics, Harley
Davidson motorcycles - and of course, all things James Bond.

 

* Adrian was only 52 when he took his own life - and it appears that he
engineered his death to coincide with his birthday, which was two days ago,
on August 29.  He was a passionate thinker, going against the grain on many
issues, peppering his commentaries with hilariously worded language.
Standing at 6-5 - he was literally and figuratively a larger-than-life man.

 

* We shared dark ideologies about the meaning of life, politics and
families.  (He leaves behind a wife and three grown children.)  While I do
not know how Adrian chose to end his life - nor the specific catalysts that
spurred him - our many exchanges included emails (which I've spent hours
re-reading today) - which suggest how death - whether by natural causes or
otherwise - was regarded as a matter-of-fact subject for both of us - albeit
for different reasons.

 

* (NOTE:  the following is my opinion, not necessarily factual).  In my
view, Adrian's feelings about suicide had hardened during the past 10 years.
It is also my view that he was NOT mentally ill, which is a reflexive
diagnosis given by others who react to this type of horror.  I believe
Adrian's views solidified as the result of at least three gigantic events:
1) getting cancer in 2008 and joining the list of millions of "survivors"
who go into remission - but are forever haunted by its possible return; 2)
the suicide of his terminally ill father in December 2013; and, 3) the death
of his mother just 36 hours later, by, in Adrian words, "a broken heart."
His parents had been married for 50 years.  

 

* For all his joviality and cutting wit - Adrian was a serious and practical
man - who strived for perfection in everything he did.  Today, as I reflect
on his great but short life, I am struck by the following passages,
excerpted over several emails we exchanged in 2013 and 2014.  These are
Adrian's own words:

 

* "There is an argument for euthanasia and assisted suicide. You would not
allow a dog to suffer in this way. The arguments about playing god are
strong - but not as strong as (making sure that) your loved ones do not
suffer..."

 

* "Like you, I do not have any religious bent, I do not condemn anyone their
faith - but I cannot believe in an all seeing creator. I do believe, however
- that our bodies are not the be all and end all...I firmly believe that
souls live on.  Whether they remain to help loved ones - or to just keep an
eye (on us) - I am not sure.  But I often feel the presence of folk from my
past who were close to me.  And I often dream that I am conversing and
perhaps even receiving messages from them, (such as), "tell so and so not to
worry about us, because all is well..."  This could be my subconscious
speaking - for which I have no explanation - so I go with the flow and
accept them for what they are - that they are dreams with possible
messages."

 

* "And like you I (sometimes) feel the presence of someone (who has passed).
My great uncle was a master baker who taught me a lot about cooking.  He was
from Yorkshire and he taught me how to make Yorkshire puds by (a strict)
rule of thumb.  And every time I make them, I remember how he used to say to
me, "you're doing good, lad."  And as you say, I do remember facial
expressions and idiosyncrasies.  I'd like to think (there is more to life)
than just conception (and) death.  I do feel that the soul lives on."

 

* "I often feel that folk gain comfort knowing their loved ones are (always)
around.  Love is such a strong emotion that keeps those who have passed - in
one's mind.  And in many ways - this keeps them (forever) alive. ...(But)
you would not allow a dog to suffer.  No human should go through this.  Your
dad will be at peace when he passes and you will remember the better times
before this last phase of his life."

 

* BTW, in the last excerpt - Adrian is referring to struggles I had with my
Dad, who passed away last year from Alzheimer's.  It is obvious, when I read
Adrian's own hand - that he was a deep thinker, a philosopher, a man in
touch with his accomplishments - as well as a man with a tactile sense of
humanity, of suffering, of his own mortality, trying to gain full control
and measure of his own destiny - instead of being dragged behind it.  

 

* Like everyone else, I grieve for him and will miss him tremendously.  But
I'm comforted that

Very sad news indeed. I met up with Adrian a few times when I was in London
20 years ago. He was always very helpful and like everyone, I'm shocked to
hear of his passing.

be seen in any auction due to their ability to find long hidden items

learn math & bid less to assess the proper bid to achieve the maximum bid

don't forget, you may be selling your stuff someday and hands-down, Heritage
gets the highest prices overall. This benefits consignors and that could be

Re: [MOPO] Excalibur Auctions Movie Memorabilia Auction May 28

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There is no doubt that the Excalibur photos could certainly be a lot better. 

 

However, there are times when the professionally taken photos in various major 
auctions makes the posters look much better than they actually are. Some 
photographers use a vacuum press which completely eliminates the foldlines and 
creases. Whilst they are striving to provide top quality photos, I sometimes 
wonder if it would be better to show the poster as it actually is.

Re: [MOPO] Patty Duke 1946-2016

Thank you John for the video.  There is a station here in my area that plays
the old Patty Duke Show reruns and I have a blast watching them.  She was
very tiny.  Around 5', if that.  My step-Mom's company is one of the largest
custom costume houses for films and tv.  When I was studying at UCLA back in
the 70's, I got to work on a lot of films, tv shows and commercials because
of that.  I did two television movies with her, along with Fred Astaire,
Helen Hayes, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr...and others.  She was so much fun.  Just a
hoot.  It was sort of surreal to me at the time because I was very young and
had grown up watching her on The Patty Duke Show in the 60's.  She could
switch from being a kook to being totally serious at the drop of a
pinshe was a very good actress...and just a great person...

[MOPO] FS: Largest Collection of Long Daybill Movie Posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Happy New Year to all 

 

I have been gradually loading what I think will be the largest collection of
long daybill movie posters ever to be seen in one place. I know that might
sound like a big statement but I don't know of anywhere else that has this
many rare pre war daybills. Long daybills were printed up until 1941 and
often featured spectacular and unique art. Many of them are incredibly rare
and some may well be the only known posters. I have listed a couple of
hundred over the last week or so. Some have sold very quickly and there are
more to come over the next week or so. 

 

They are well worth a look ..

Re: [MOPO] Dating a US 3 sheet

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Well, I guess my dating days are long gone and I only use that word when trying 
to come up with a release date for a poster now!

Up until now, no one has been able to accurately date the US international 
posters for Never So Few.

Bruce has come up with the answer to this  and many thanks to him for getting 
back to me. 

Comparing that number to our massive database of litho numbers, we can say 
with a very high certainty that the int'l release is from exactly 1964 (which 
makes perfect sense, because that is when McQueen became a superstar, after The 
Great Escape).

That indicates that those litho numbers are important in determining release 
dates of US posters that do not have the dates

Re: [MOPO] Missing posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Phillip

I thought there might be at least some films where a US poster has never been 
seen and that MoPo members would know about those. It is certainly the case 
with Australian posters. An example is with Dracula 1931. To the best of my 
knowledge no Australian poster has ever been seen. Maybe US posters have 
surfaced for every film.

John,

 

Not to put too fine a point on it, but your query implied two different 
questions, at least to me. 

 

Regarding “…I wouldn’t be surprised if something had surfaced on just about 
every film post 1930’s…”; that is no doubt true. However, in some cases what 
has surfaced might be some lobby cards or a pressbook, but maybe not an insert, 
one sheet or anything larger.

 

However, regarding: “…(I) wonder if there are any American posters that. have 
not been seen – not just for very obscure films but for reasonably well known 
movies.”; I think that is true also.

 

We know that various early Universal horror images (especially 3 or 6 sheets) 
are unknown except for the BW images in pressbooks. 

 

As rare as some of them are, it appears that just about every one sheet has 
surfaced for 3 Stooges shorts and many Chaplain and Keaton short as well, yet 
there seem to be numerous Hal Roach/Laurel and Hardy shorts for which I have 
never seen any one-sheets. Also, except for pressbooks or lobby cards, some of 
the Universal Buck Jones films like Rocky Rhodes and his serials there are 
almost non-existent or only exist as re-release paper.  I am sure there are 
also other or better examples than those that come to mind at first thought.

There has been some discussion on VMPF on films where no Australian posters 
have ever turned up. The discussion is particularly focusing on 50s Sci Fi 
titles and some horror films. That made me wonder if there are any American 
posters that have not been seen – not just for very obscure films but for 
reasonably well known movies. There seems to be so much US material out there 
that I wouldn’t be surprised if something had surfaced on just about every film 
post 1930s but I wonder if any of the MoPo members know of any missing American 
posters.

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

It is a great poster. Did you notice that it has the title “Brighton Rock” in 
brackets next to the main title “The Worst Sin”?

Mind if I steer back a bit to daybills John? 

 

Saw this news story recently about auction of some of Attenborough's 
collection, and his copy of a Brighton Rock daybill, with The Worst Sin title.

 

At some point during release, Pathe pressed for a shorter cut and a change of 
the title. Believe there was a The Worst Sin pressbook, and know there's a 
quad out there with a snipe over original title.

 

Don't recall seeing this daybill before, presumably very rare?

 

And is that it for the daybill, just with that title?

Re: [MOPO] Missing posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There is no definitve list but, as an example, I am pretty much aware of US
posters that have turned up for Hitchcock films. I'm sure that genre
specific collectors have a very good idea of what has or has not turned up
in their field of interest. That's why I thought people on MoPo might have
some thoughts on this.

What do you use to determine whether there is a poster is known on a
particular title? I mean what source on the internet, what list, what
resource enables one to determine definitively a poster exists for a film?

our faves and biases about who's great, who's good and who we should avoid

known scammers who have been dragged into courts or in the news media - have
allies on these boards.  Just keep in mind that the lion's share of
contributors are merchants peddling their goods - and to be fair, most have
a lot of expertise, e.g., the recent discussion of The Third Man was
especially enlightening.  

But the downside of merchant dominance on public forums like MoPo is I can
only count on one hand the number of pure consumers and non-full-time
sellers who choose to contribute to MoPo REGULARLY.  It's too brutal for
them because they fear being attacked by paper cuts of sarcasm.  The vast
majority of MoPo's small membership are customer lurkers who are being
offended every week - whose identities I learn about via private messaging
as a consumer advocate.  Even the marketing of goods, which is a primary
service provided on these boards - is fraught with controversy.  If some
forum members believe it's done too frequently - or - in the eyes of some,
too flamboyantly - (as some felt Bruce H. did before he left MoPo) - this is
frowned upon, esp. benchmark-based advertising which compares merchants with
other merchants.  What's common everywhere in advertising is taboo here -
yet the disapproval, in my view, is expressed most loudly - and almost
entirely by competing merchants, not consumers. -d.

Since March 2012, I have bought a total of 182 items from HA, ranging in
price from $16 to $621. They have obviously posted many packages to me in
that time, and mostly without any complaint on my part about shipping costs.
Recently, however, I have had cause to question the cost. The last shipment
I received was initially invoiced to me at $147.06, which I queried. I was
informed that HA had charged me at Fedex retail rate and not their

Let me add my congratulations to those you've already received.
I 'll bet that most of us who are still on the list are glad that MoPo still
exists and that contacts with other obsessive collectors can still be easily
made. It's true that some of the discussions and topics being discussed are
a bit thinner than they have been in the past...after all, we have lost some
significant voices, and there other voices who post much less frequently  (
I miss hearing from Steve Olson, Michael Tupy, Dario Casadei, and that
lawyer named Claude who was so smart and tart). I myself post less
frequently, partly because I am getting old and really have to bring my
collecting days to a close. At present, I am more interested in selling my
posters and have begun the process of thinning out and breaking up my
collections.
Yet, you still have a very interesting bunch of people who remain on the
list. So much so that I never ignore the posts of the current members. I
read them all, and am especially interested when someone sends along
information, or links, on various subjects of general interest...new
catalogues, auctions that go beyond the sphere of the online world, articles
and illustrations about posters in new books or websites, museum
exhibitions, and so forth. And I love it when John Reid posts one of his
galleries of posters in his possession...a 'themed presentation' that is
almost always really interesting. ( It's time for another one, John!)
My point is that even after 20 years and a new configuration of 'active
posters and lurkers, there is still much to be interested by on MoPo, and
I am so glad that it is still around and so glad to have the opportunity to
reach out to other members if and when I might need them.
so...THANKS FOR STICKING IT OUT!!

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU

Well we made it to 20 after all!

 

Today marks MoPo's 20th Anniversary. For the last couple of years, our
anniversary has been preceded by a discussion about how little we actually
discuss posters on this forum. This year it was John Reid's February 12th
post, How MoPo has Changed, pointing out the lack of discussion or comment
on movie posters. In 2014, in time for our 19th birthday, Helmut posted an
analysis of MoPo posts (84% were either auction or for sale posts) and
former member Bruce H. mentioned how 2 other poster forums are pretty dead.
I find it just an interesting coincidence that this seems to happen just
about every February 24th! But no matter.MoPo is still chugging along.

 

We've survived longer than I ever dreamed (much longer than the majority of
Hollywood marriages). On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was
distributed via American University's listserv. There were 11 members at the
start, and as is my annual custom, I recognize these MoPo pioneers:  Mahtab
Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan
Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (we lost Cindy in 2008, but
her husband Jay is still a member), Jeff Static (AOL'er Static555), Adam
Ehrlich and myself. In addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still
members.

 

Last year I wondered whether MoPo would make it to 20, or if it even should.
Well, here we are and I guess we'll soldier on.at least until American
University decides to shut down their listserv! I do hate to see longtime
members leave, (Poster seller Bruce Hershenson and the prolific Tom Martin
are 2 examples of people who exited this past year), but that's the way of
Internet forums. 

 

Thanks to all of you for keeping this relic of the 20th century alive for
yet another year!

all of these forums ebb  flow
in movie posters it's expected because the hobby is so small and none of the 
groups ever had more than a few hundred members

contrast this with the CGC comics forums which has 50,000 members but the hobby 
numbers hundreds of thousands or maybe a couple million

the same people can only say the same things so many times

I gather that there are still over 300 members but I'm wondering why things
have changed so much and why there is so little discussion or comment about
movie posters these days. 

 

Regards

John

Not only is the clock counting down but so is the Australian dollar! With just

Re: [MOPO] Australian dollar tumbles even more overnight

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Yes, the low Australian dollar makes prices very attractive, particularly for 
those in the US. I just had a look through the auctions and there seems to be a 
lot of interest and bidding! There are some truly rare posters in the auction. 
Material on Blackmail is incredibly scarce and the long daybill might not be 
offered again. It will be interesting to see the final results but I’m sure it 
will be a success for you.

Re: [MOPO] All 335 poster are available for preview

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Congratulations to David on putting this great auction together. It can only be 
good for the hobby and I think David’s marketing skills will help in getting 
worldwide interest.

 

I have no doubts at all that it will be a success.

All checked, and cross checked (I hope!), I've now finished loading the last 
few stragglers and even in those last few there were some very nice ones I must 
say - there is 335 original movie posters for you to enjoy. As a result I have 
watched a hell of a lot of movie trailers (because a lot of the listings have 
the original movie trailer for you to watch) and I can safely say my movie list 
has expanded, not just the international stuff but there is a lot of Australian 
movies that really deserves a look.

I also want to say a big thanks to all the consignors (I won't mention them all 
by name), they're all Australian based and have really supported this event, 
more so for what it is about: Australian produced movie posters AND movie 
posters for Australian made movies.

I do have to give a special thanks to John Reid and Phil Edwards, both of whom 
have really offered a lot of advice, suggestions and of course ultimately their 
support, without it this may have never happened.

Of course, whatever happens now is out of my hands, but getting this many 
pieces together, some exceedingly rare, has made this event a success no matter 
what the numbers come out like at the end. So, if you are not bidding but know 
someone who might like to, send them along; but if you are bidding, good luck 
and Bid Well...

[MOPO] One of the great collectors

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Apart from being an accomplished Comedian and Game Show host, Bob Monkhouse
was also a passionate collector of movie memorabilia. He amassed a truly
gigantic collection of posters, scripts, films and other memorabilia. His
passion for collecting verged on the obsessive. When he passed away, it was
discovered that he had many films in his collection that had previously been
thought lost including episodes of TV series that had been wiped by the BBC
after screening. His collection proved to be of immense value, not only in
monetary terms but also as an historical record of British TV and cinema.

Re: [MOPO] One of the great collectors

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

That’s a great ad Richard – coming back from the dead! There was definitely a 
love/hate relationship with British audiences but he was certainly very 
talented.

 

I have met quite a few collectors who have been equally if not more obsessive 
but it was good that he managed to save some of those lost BBC productions.

Yep, it’s good.

 

Very interesting bloke, though I spent a lot of my earlier life unaware of 
that, and along with a lot of people disliking him intensely.

 

Sad really, that he spent a lot of his career as a particularly oily gameshow 
host, and only started getting his reputation back later in life.

 

I think he actually went way over the verge with obsessive, if any of us think 
we’ve got it bad….

 

Nice bit of work he did after he died:

Hi John,

 

I think your website looks fantastic. Really easy to navigate, clean and
concise. Lots of attractive buttons on the homepage to entice the buyer to
search further. Informative  colourful with a great range of items, which I
think all make your website 'sharable' on social media :-)

 

A huge well done :-) Will be following suit very soon with my own site as
it's been nearly four years now and I've managed on my own for this long
(but I need some 'proper' help now).

Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

All very good points Adrian

I just keep getting back to the fact that virtually no living soul has actually 
seen this film. The stills might show iconic images and it might have been 
fairly ground breaking at the time but I wonder if it would be a disappointment 
if it turned up today. 

I think Tom was right on the mark when he talked about hype.

I don’t want to denigrate the poster in any way but I just find it interesting 
the way values are put on movie posters. It goes to show what a subjective 
thing it all is.  Let’s say a one sheet for Hitchcock’s Blackmail turned up. To 
me, that would leave London After Midnight for dead but I doubt it would go for 
anything close to the 400k plus.

I suppose there might be other rare “one of a kind” posters for truly great 
films of the era that wouldn’t go close to the price achieved by London After 
Midnight. 

It all seems to be part of the Horror/Universal Horror phenomenon that has 
separated that genre from all others in our hobby.

Regards

John

Subject: Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

 

The fact that hardly anything survives on this film - so yes the rarity makes 
it valuable.

The film is unseen and is an icon of the silent horror films - having read the 
recent recreation in book form it's a bit cheesy - not quite up to Dracula 
but it certainly trawls along with those silent Horror's of the time - perhaps 
not as good as Nosferatu but certainly it has iconic images of Lon Chaney. 

The poster surely drops into the same vein as the Universal Monsters that reach 
very high prices - how many of those posters are available? How man London 
After Midnight?

As we all know Horror and Sci Fi are the big parts of this hobby that grab the 
attention of collectors - Metropolis, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Dracula, and 
even the more common titles Forbidden Planet, Day the Earth Stood Still - all 
are innovative films and stand tall in cinema history.

Perhaps that is the main reason London After Midnight is worth so much - I 
should add that the price paid for this poster is what the buyer wanted to pay 
and it is that valuable to him and possibly the underbidder - an item like this 
will garner such attention but it comes down to what the buyer wants to pay - 
if it were a King Kong three sheet or Outlaw six sheet that there are enough in 
circulation to have a going rate. London After Midnight is one poster that will 
reach it's own level of value. So is it such an innovative film to garner this 
much value? Probably. I would say that is the main reason this poster is this 
valuable = or the buyer decided he would pay this much for the poster because 
it is an innovative film and it is extremely rare.

It is an interesting question that you raise John - because I would ask why 
certain posters have become so valuable - not quite in the same vein but why is 
Attack of the 50ft Woman got such a price tag? And why has Breakfast at 
Tiffany's got such a price tag?


50ft Woman has a great cheesy image but the film is not innovative, it has to 
be one of the worst movies of the sci fi era yet the poster has a high price 
tag compared to say Invaders from Mars or The Astounding She Monster. And 
Brealfast at Tiffany's we all know is the ladies favorite and presents Audrey 
Hepburn in the little black number by Dior yet it is relatively common - I have 
had this discussion with good friends within the business and hobby and we are 
of the opinion that some posters reach prices that they shouldn't - yes those 
of us lucky enough to be selling such posters are happy but the question I ask 
is why are such posters tagged with a high price? No one can say these two 
films are innovative - a 50ft Woman wandering about the country and a film 
about a sophisticated call girl (if it were the book of Tiffany's with Miss 
Golightly the fragile creature who has a wing or two down then I can understand 
but the film is not that great - in my opinion).

I would be  interested in your opinions as to what makes London After Midnight 
such a valuable poster.

 

Obviously, it’s rarity is a factor and the artwork is impressive but there are 
plenty of other rare posters from that era for truly great films that wouldn’t 
go for even a fraction of the price that was achieved on the weekend.

It is certainly an amazing collection but is it actually the “World’s largest

have some thoughts on this. Obviously, quality should be taken into account but 
there certainly are some huge collections of movie posters amongst dealers

I think you might be right about that. 

 

I think that some museums would be very interested in obtaining the
collection but I doubt they could come up with the money.

It is certainly an amazing collection but is it actually the World's
largest Collection of Movie Posters? I would be interested if members of
MoPo might have some thoughts on this. Obviously, quality should be taken
into account but there certainly are some huge collections of movie posters
amongst dealers around the world, although not sure if any would rival
Morris Everett's collection. 

 

What do you think? Is this actually the World's largest Collection of Movie

Re: [MOPO] Talk About Timing...

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There is a distinction between repros/fakes and original posters that are 
misrepresented. Reissues are often sold as original on ebay and this is 
particularly prevalent with Australian posters which are not dated. Many 
sellers on ebay use the excuse that they are only casual sellers and not 
experts but the end result is that buyers get ripped off. Mistakes do happen 
from time to time but I have often found that when I contact the seller to let 
them know that the poster they are selling is a reissue, they do nothing to 
correct the listing. 

 

This is a big problem on ebay and I don’t think ebay has a clue as to how to 
address it.

Just wondering who among the Mopo membership has had any sort of relationship

McDowall in a pub in Kew, London (he drank pints of Bloody Marys). Liam Neeson 
lived round the corner from me for many years and my wife and his sister were 
very close friends - she cuddled him as a baby. Who did (do) you know?

Re: [MOPO] UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters

Great to hear that at least some have turned up. Let's hope the police show
a bit more interest in finding the person who stole the posters.

Subject: [MOPO] UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters

 

* For the scant few who regard Bruce with antipathy, please delete this
message.

* For the rest, Bruce posted an update in his e-mail club today about the
recovery of 5 of 10 linen-backed posters stolen earlier this year from a
collector in Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, the pricier ones are still at
large, but the good news is this is yet another illustration of how - over
the years - the hobby's membership has worked together to identify and
eradicate the Ebola-like carriers/scammers - large and small - out.  -d.


UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters (mostly valuable linen-backed
one-sheets) Report
 In club message 709
https://www.emovieposter.com/club/returnmessage.php?id=776 , we reported
on a stolen group of valuable framed movie posters in Los Angeles. This
week, we received a message from the collector who reports:

I thought I would update you as there has been an important development.
Six posters from the stolen group did emerge last week when they were
offered to a local gallery owner. She recognized them immediately and
alerted me, at which time I notified the LAPD. The detective had no interest
in trying to get to the bottom of it, so thankfully the gallery owner worked
it out where the posters were returned to me, and I did pay a reward to the
person who brought them to her, as they were clearly not involved in their
theft.

The posters recovered are: Our Blushing Brides, City Streets, Dance Team,
Big Executive, Derelict. All one sheets, and I am very happy to have them
back in the collection. 

The missing one sheets remain:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet

So, sadly the pricier posters are still out there somewhere, but it is quite
possible the thieves will try to sell those as well very soon. Thanks for
spreading the word!

Here is our original report:

We recently received this very sad news from a long time major collector who
lives in the Los Angeles area:

I had a whole bunch of framed posters (almost all one-sheets, and all
linenbacked and framed) stolen when I moved into a new house. I'll list them
here just in case someone offers them to you, or anyone in your e-mail club.

Title and size:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Big Executive one-sheet
Derelict one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Our Blushing Brides one-sheet
Dance Team one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet
City Streets one-sheet

REPLY FROM BRUCE: That is really sad about the robbery. It is awful there
are such low people in the world. I will definitely keep on the lookout for
these posters. Now that the list of them has run here in the e-mail club,
many thousands of collectors are aware of what the titles are, and that make
it much harder for the crooks to sell them. 
URGENT: If anyone reading this has even the slightest clue as to who stole
these (or if anyone offers you valuable framed linenbacked posters), please
report it, and you may be in line for a substantial reward.

Hi to you all

Can anybody shed some light on when a full set of 8 USA lobby cards 
were released for the theatrical release of McQueen's 'An Enemy Of The 
People' ? Some research says cards were released at the time of test 
screening but only with text reviews on them and no images. Other 
research articles say cards were released as normal with images but in 
very short supply because of the very limited screening by Warner bros 
due to the inability to market the film. I understand a USA one sheet 
was released with images of McQueen from his past movies but was this 
at the time of the film's production 1978 or at a re-release - after 
his death and the same for the lobby cards? Also what is the original 
classification between the 1978 and post 1980 release? To anybody that 
may have original 1978 lobbies, I have been told a hit squad is on its 
way to secure them from a certain mopoer...

Ben and I have been chatting about this subject the past few days.
IMDB says the film was not released domestically in 1978 but that it was
released internationally

however, a scan of Heritage archives shows 2 one sheets, both of which have
a G rating on them and a 1978 date.
Also some lobby cards are known to exist with the
1978 printing, but they are not traditional lc's and are the 11x14 litho
styles commonly used for international distribution

It is possible the one sheets are 1982 posters with an original production
date on them, however it is also possible that the posters were printed for
an original release and never distriobuted.

I suspect Freeman Fisher may be able to shed some light on the issue, if he
sees this email

Re: [MOPO] The real cost of selling via eBay

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Doesn’t surprise me at all and the costs are actually more for me as I have to 
absorb GST on each transaction and postage costs.

 

I do think that a lot of people who sell low value items either lose money or 
barely break even by selling on ebay. Unfortunately, they just don’t realise it 
because the costs are spread over a lot of areas.

I don't sell via eBay, I read a lot of comments about ALL the fees eBay 
charges, and it seems the list gets longer by the day as they dip deeper into 
your pocket! All this must have a knock on effect on the prices you charge and 
so I wondered if you knew how much you really make when you sell an item on 
eBay (once ALL the fees are deducted)?

Well here's a fantastic little website calculator (nothing to do with me) that 
does the calculations for you: https://salecalc.com/

For instance: just Joe-Average eBay seller who who bought a poster for $5 and 
is now reselling it for $15 plus (say) $10 postage will pay over 15% in fees.

OVER FIFTEEN PERCENT!!!

Check it out - do the figures will surprise you?

Re: [MOPO] MoviePosterBid Auctions being rescheduled and other notices about the future of auctions

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Tom
Postage is one of the biggest problems for dealers these days - particularly
in sending packages from Australia to the US. There is no getting around the
increases in costs and that is ultimately reducing the cost of lower end
stock even further.

Here is an example. I recently sold a lot of items on ebay for 2.99 each.
Commission on the sale was 0.30 which sounds OK.
However, there was also a commission on the postage of 1.20 for domestic
postage and 1.70 for international postage

My postage charges barely cover the actual cost. If you inflate the postage
price to cover the commission buyers will be turned off. Many dealers forget
about factoring in the commission on postage when setting prices on ebay. It
is pretty obvious that it is a complete waste of time in selling anything
for a low price on ebay. 

It sounds like sacrilege to a collector, but it is getting to the stage
where it will be better for a dealer to throw low value stock in the garbage
rather than try and move it.

john very interesting... I may have found a new profession helping people
disolve collections.. when My own issues happened , stress, divorce, haveing
to move because I lost my house and commercial building in divorce, health,
money loss.. at 1st I was devastated but what happened next and is still
happening is I was able to stop being emotional and deal with it in a
strategic way..I  discovered life was not everlasting thats everyhing was so
temporary, thats how I learned a Robinson curuso approach to survival...I
started with Prayer, then downsized everything.. s my costs are minimal, and
basically hunkered down as I was unable to walk.. so I was bedridden since
like 2012, 2013 and just this year could put some weight on a rebuilt
foot.tehn My ear went deaf and I have Heart issues and beginnings of
Glucoma... No pity please.. I think its funny because Its so odd being a
mucisn who like to see and hear and walk and them Boom// but anyways I am a
chaos managment expert.. I remeber before my stents in Hospital the nurses
said your on a laptop dealing with customerson ebay?? I was and in a nursing
home also.. I tryed to delagate to my son howevere he had a different idea
of customer service.. he know now afet he himself experienced a pissed off
customer so I put on hiatis till I felt ready to do it myself... Ive sent a
few ordeds since about a month ago and so far everyones been happy..I have
been testing the waters soI do a good job... But I am able to organize very
fast make decisions and orchestrate big projects even when I can not walk...
and Im learning to adapt to disablitys ... sure its hard but in a way its
why I can help others,,, that find it hard to let go and get stuck in
collections.. 
people call me everyday on phone and I give them ideas on how to sell off
thier collectables for free...I try to direct them/// also.I would be happy
to help anyone on mopo do this also..as imagine if the collection can be
used as a fundraiser, or as a tax write off, or packed up cleaned out in a
week of everythng... some wives would love it... 
nice part is the funds can make some dreams happen like a well earned
vacation or a car or just simplifing life.. as many auction house want High
end only or dealers want to pay pennies..I think of this as it can be
various ways to dispose... some in museums, some in private, some in
shoppes...a custom way to get rid of a huge amount in a short time... as I
did it myself and know every aspect of the project from start to finish..
and Like Rich understands about 60% is probably slow sellers and paying more
in rent then what it will sell for.. I am able to look at a math problem and
basically I approach it systematically like a Military mission.. If anyone
has a logjam and needs help my offer is open Just call and tell me te
perimiters of your life issues and ill suggest ideas.. also if anyone wants
to be in my network as a potential buyer or seller let me know..
when I do deals I try to make all party's happy the seller, the buyer and
also make it fast and simple.

Subject: [MOPO] MoviePosterBid Auctions being rescheduled and other notices
about the future of auctions

Hi Folks.

I've been getting some queries about what's going on at MoviePosterBid.com
as my schedules have been rather erratic for the past few months

I had announced an autographs auction that was going to begin today, but I
won't be making it.

I've been working on a number of projects for the past several months all
related to my other collectibles stuff and it's been reducing the schedule
of available time to do movie poster auctions

Why is this happening?

Well it's like this, since I took over  started doing a regular auction on
MoviePosterBid.com in 2006, for the past 8 years I have done almost nothing
else other than my auctions.
For 7 years, this was a weekly process that I had assistants for, but my
Secretary of many years Anna moved on last May and I'd been handling it
mostly by myself until my friend Brian had started helping me a few months
back.

Doing these auctions is a real job.. Creating, photographing, listing,
shipping (and all the other attendant work for an auction) is 160 hours
work. For most people 160 hours is full time job and they would be correct,
it is indeed a full time job. In retrospect, it's hard to understand how I
did this for 7 years on a weekly rotation and while I have been doing a
monthly or even bi-weekly series for a while, the combination of all the
other work and the auctions means something has got to give.

For instance, for all of that 7 years, my warehouse, which is full of other
material aside from movie posters has pretty much laid untouched, which
means that nearly $1,000,000 of merchandise has been effectively not for
sale. Comic books, original comic art, pulp magazines, movie  other
magazines, miscellaneous items of all kinds and who-knows-what have sat,
mostly untouched except for when boxes needed to be moved so that I could
get at the movie posters behind them. It's something I can't ignore anymore.

I must process and list all that stuff. Turn it into cash and trade. 
Get it out of my overstuffed and disorganized 2200 sqft of racked and
shelved warehouse.
As a result, I have been far more busy working in the back of the building
than in the front and no question, movie poster auctions have taken a back
seat.
For the near term this is not going to change. I have to get this work done
and it is going to take the rest of this year at least. My ambitions make me
think I can do all this work and fast, but as I near 60, I'm finally coming
to the conclusion that I can't work like I did when I was 35.

What that means is that I will not be able to adhere to a regular bi-weekly
auction schedule, though it does not mean I will not be doing auctions. It
just means that sometimes an auction will be happening and sometimes not. I
had an auction of autographed items announced that would start today, but is
being delayed not just because of the work I have in back, but also because
I'm leaving Thursday for L.A. to be at the Ray Courts Celebrities Show
return in Burbank http://courtscelebritiesshow.com/ Ray did his shows for
many years, sold out  is now coming back.. and I'm going!

None the less, I can't get the auction listed in time and rather than keep
saying an auction is coming now I'm going to reschedule it for after my
return from LA. I will enlarge this auction and the autographed items will
just be a part of the sale along with folded posters and lobby cards. This
begins October 5th and will not be rescheduled, so you can mark your
calendars

Moving forward, I have been asking new consignors to wait for me as I clean
up all the work I have and get back to a proper point to handle their
material. Thankfully, they have all stated that they would wait for me and I
have some nice collections lined up, so when I get back to a real schedule,
you folks will be very happy.

meanwhile, if you are looking for collectibles to buy, I am currently
processing text lists for comic books, pulps, Big Little Books, art,
magazines and other collectibles as well as a very large list of movie
posters Some material has been listed in the MoviePosterBid.com Supermarket
for ready sale

Re: [MOPO] EBay private listings? Why?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

The bidders userid is never disclosed on any ebay auctions so I don't think
that is the reason people choose to run private auctions.

Why would a seller set up their auction to private (all bidders shown as
'private' including their eBay rating)?
What is the benefit to this?
As a potential bidder it makes me think the seller could be doing some shill
bidding. 
Because of this I am very skeptical in getting in a bidding war with a
private ebay auction.
Your thoughts?

[MOPO] Sending posters to Argentina

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I know some dealers exclude shipping to countries in South America and I'm
starting to think that maybe I should also do that.

 

I sent a package to Argentina at the end of August last year. I assumed that
the customer received it because I didn't hear anything to the contrary.
However, this morning the package arrived back to me almost ONE YEAR after I
sent it. Everything was intact without any damage and the tracking details
show it as being delivered back to me. Apparently it was unclaimed in
Argentina.

 

Who knows what has happened to it in the last year but I wonder if anyone
else has had similar experiences in sending mail to Argentina.

Re: [MOPO] ot: predict the final auction price of the Action Comics #1 on ebay

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

It was interesting to see the comments about the grading in the auction
listing. Apparently the two best examples of this comic were graded 9.0 but
the owner of the one that just sold says that his comic is far superior in
condition to the one that previously sold for 2.1mill. Does that indicate
that the grading system and slabbing might not be as reliable as it should
be?

 

This particular copy is the nicest that has ever been graded, with an
ASTONISHING grade of CGC 9.0 ! To date, no copies have been graded higher
and only one other copy has received the same grade. It is fair to say
though that this copy blows the other 9.0 out of the water. Compared to the
other 9.0 that sold for $2.1million several years ago it has significant
superior eye appeal, extremely vibrant colors and PERFECT WHITE PAGES.

something that should be taken into consideration about the Action #1 is
that it is one of the most important first editions of the 20th century
there is no comparable movie poster as it is the film(s) that are the
cultural phenom (such as King Kong) as opposed to the poster.

on the amount of copies.. there have always been estimates of approx 200
copies extant, but of those 200, only 3 are known to be of this quality.
The Mile High copy has not been graded, but is a bit nicer than even the two
copies that have sold in 9.0 and it is suspected that copy could sell  in
excess of $5mil

Pretty unbelievable, especially considering the amount of copies out there!!
Of course, this example was supposedly the highest grade.

I'm sure this price will now also raise the value of all the lower grade
examples.

I sometimes think it would have been a much smarter move collecting and
investing in comic books over the last 51+ years than movie posters.
Rare comics are much easier to find than rare movie posters and they're a
lot easier to sell.
The problem is, I never liked them nearly as much.

But there's a huge difference in the amount of collectors of comic books
compared to movie posters.

Though the final price was about 3.2 million. 13 pre-approved bidders placed
individual bids (from lowest to highest) in excess of 1.5 million dollars
for an item of which there may be 100 more.

My guess is 5.4 million.

[MOPO] Saul Bass design

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I noticed that Bruce has a note on the descriptions of the Double McGuffin 
suitcase style one sheets that says:

“…. an advanced collector has told us that this poster is a Saul Bass design 
but Bass opposed his name being credited on the poster because the producers 
altered aspects of its design without his approval!”

http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/archiveitem/7734188.html 

 

The design on the Australian daybill is slightly different and I wonder if that 
might have been from the original concept.

http://www.johnreid.helpinghost.com/DOUBLEMCGUFFIN.jpg 

 

Are there any Saul Bass experts out there who might have more definitive 
information about this?

Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Alan
Free shipping is a big issue on ebay. Buyers obviously want value but they
can't have it both ways. If you have a lot of low priced items you simply
can't offer free shipping on everything you sell, particularly if you are
selling internationally. That is a recipe for losing money. The alternative
is to raise the prices of everything you have to cover the free shipping and
that only puts buyers off.

Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

As far as Alan is concerned, he said that he was considering offering free 
shipping on all sales on his website. Does that include international 
transactions? The fact is that it costs a lot to ship something internationally 
with even basic tracking. There is no getting around that. The only way you 
could offer free domestic and international shipping on everything is if you 
have only high value items for sale.

I have many items on my website and on ebay at under 5.00. It would be 
absolutely ridiculous for me to offer free shipping on those items.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Free Shipping?

I think using eBay as the benchmark for doing business is not good analogy. 
When you choose to do business inside someone else's business then of course 
they will charge you for that privilege and yes that is going to have to be 
passed on; it is no different to shopping mall owners charging the shop owners 
rent, and taking a percentage of your take and another fee for promotional 
activity and so on - they bring the customers to you, they want you to pay for 
that and frankly that seems fair to me.

Let me ask this (general) question: How much money do you (the eBay
seller) spend on advertising and other promotional activity?  I'd venture to 
suggest almost all who exclusively run their business on eBay spend NOTHING on 
advertising and marketing. If you built your own online shop (not a home made 
one) and then spent roughly each month what you used to give up in fees to eBay 
on a proper advertising and marketing campaign there is a high probability you 
would generate sales and get to keep that customer as a permanent client to do 
future marketing to (for free).

Of course there is no free ride, yes someone has to pay - but the consumer 
doesn't really care if it's you who pays, he just knows if feels he has saved a 
dollar or two on the way to spending a dollar or two with you then it's a good 
shopping experience and he is happy.

The quote you use and variations of it: Sales is vanity, profit is sanity, 
cash is reality” comes from 1989, before the internet changed the way business 
is done. Indeed profit is the key but ask yourself: was the bricks and mortar 
shop keeper from the 80s who had to do his own marketing, his own advertising, 
pay his rent, his staff, his utilities, packaging, deposit the takings at the 
bank, pay clearance fees etc more or less profitable than the eBay seller of 
today who has little or no overheads in comparison but may have to take less 
margin in order to compete with every other seller?

Remember being a poster seller on eBay is like being a fast food outlet on a 
50m street of 100 fast food outlets - all with the same store front, remind me 
what your point of difference is again?

So, for Alan he may not have the advertising might of eBay, but by offering 
freight free (on say minimum order size) perhaps free insurance or whatever 
that might give him the edge he needs, I certainly don't think it deceives the 
customer at all, it gives the customer what they need - a positive shopping 
experience.

 on a TUBE and time to wrap and foam and padding costs,,, so you need 
 to make the sale either higher so the shipping can be part of the sale 
 as a cost,,, and if is a 300 poster you can figure you giving away 10% 
 or 30.00 in profit and netting 270 - cost of poster say 100 so you 
 have a net profit of 70.00 on a 300 gross sale after costs.. now 
 consider this a grocerystore make 3% after costs but they do 20 
 million gross a month whats 3% of 20 million More then I can think of 
 at moment but heft profit margin... Volume  is vanity , Profit is

I agree with you that free shipping on a minimum order size makes sense but 
offering free shipping on every item just doesn’t work.

Alan, depend on the shipping plugin you use you can likely set it to offer free 
freight on minimum order (value) purchase.

As far as Alan is concerned, he said that he was considering offering free 
shipping on all sales on his website. Does that include international 
transactions? The fact is that it costs a lot to ship something internationally 
with even basic tracking. There is no getting around that. The only way you 
could offer free domestic and international shipping on everything is if you 
have only high value items for sale.
 
I have many items on my website and on ebay at under 5.00. It would be 
absolutely ridiculous for me to offer free shipping on those items.

I think using eBay as the benchmark for doing business is not good analogy. 
When you choose to do business inside someone else's business then of course 
they will charge you for that privilege and yes that is going to have to be 
passed on; it is no different to shopping mall owners charging the shop owners 
rent, and taking a percentage of your take and another fee for promotional 
activity and so on - they bring the customers to you, they want you to pay for 
that and frankly that seems fair to me.
 
Let me ask this (general) question: How much money do you (the eBay
seller) spend on advertising and other promotional activity?  I'd venture to 
suggest almost all who exclusively run their business on eBay spend NOTHING on 
advertising and marketing. If you built your own online shop (not a home made 
one) and then spent roughly each month what you used to give up in fees to eBay 
on a proper advertising and marketing campaign there is a high probability you 
would generate sales and get to keep that customer as a permanent client to do 
future marketing to (for free).
 
Of course there is no free ride, yes someone has to pay - but the consumer 
doesn't really care if it's you who pays, he just knows if feels he has saved a 
dollar or two on the way to spending a dollar or two with you then it's a good 
shopping experience and he is happy.
 
The quote you use and variations of it: Sales is vanity, profit is sanity, 
cash is reality” comes from 1989, before the internet changed the way business 
is done. Indeed profit is the key but ask yourself: was the bricks and mortar 
shop keeper from the 80s who had to do his own marketing, his own advertising, 
pay his rent, his staff, his utilities, packaging, deposit the takings at the 
bank, pay clearance fees etc more or less profitable than the eBay seller of 
today who has little or no overheads in comparison but may have to take less 
margin in order to compete with every other seller?
 
Remember being a poster seller on eBay is like being a fast food outlet on a 
50m street of 100 fast food outlets - all with the same store front, remind me 
what your point of difference is again?
 
So, for Alan he may not have the advertising might of eBay, but by offering 
freight free (on say minimum order size) perhaps free insurance or whatever 
that might give him the edge he needs, I certainly don't think it deceives the 
customer at all, it gives the customer what they need - a positive shopping 
experience.

Hi Kirby

I also have posters that were linen backed 20 years ago and they are fine.
All have been stored in the same place as the ones that have foxing. That's
why I am convinced that the backer did not mix the paste properly.

John,

 

Thanks for this contribution.  I do want anyone reading this to know,
however, that I have linen-backed posters that

I have had for 15 years easily that do not exhibit these problems.

 

It's also good to remember that all collectors do not have the mandate of an
archivist - as a museum might, for example.

 

That said, vigilant concern for one's posters is a good idea.  Many more
posters, I think, are ruined by leaky plumbing, plexi not

filtered for UV etc, general carelessness than are damaged by well-trained,
seasoned restorers.

Re: [MOPO] Un-backing question

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

It depends on the glue that was used and you cannot tell until you start
removing the poster. Some posters mounted to foam board are  very difficult
to remove because the glue is so strong. 
I would guess that a restorer would be reluctant to give a quote because
they could not be certain about how much time would need to be spent on the
job.

  Tommy,

  for me as a dealer, the GSP is pretty much a disaster: When I buy for my 
business, any import taxes I pay are refundable to me. Not so when I import 
something through the GSP: In their fine print, you agree to the term, that all 
your purchases are for private use only, not commercial. In consequence, this 
means that I don't get ANY paperwork from them, and so I lose my import taxes 
to the German government. I try to work around this program whenever possible, 
but it has become a serious hassle.
  Even worse, we have a reduced import tax of 7% for works of art (as opposed 
to the regular 19%). GSP completely ignores that, so when I buy art, I not only 
lose 7% tax, I lose a full (and incorrect) 19% on top of my purchase price.
  And yes, in most cases they are considerably more expensive than the regular 
USPS rates.

  Betreff: [MOPO] Global Shipping Program
  Returning to the subject of eBay's Global Shipping Program which was raised 
here last year, I am surprised that some US dealers selling posters on eBay 
still use it. I can only surmise that they are not selling many to non-US 
buyers. It was the misfortune of both myself and an eBay dealer that he had 
signed up for that, as it proved impossible for him to hold items from several 
sales and charge one combined shipping cost. I have also calculated what tax 
and custom charges to my location would be if paid by me locally, as is the 
preferable option, and it would certainly be cheaper than the GSP option. The 
dealer in question found the program a real pain and withdrew from it, so it 
became much easier for both of us to continue business with each other. It 
seems to me to be just another way for eBay (or whoever) to make money - in my 
experience it certainly does not make 'it easier for buyers in some countries 
outside the US to purchase items from US sellers', as it claims. I also think 
that sellers should be aware that they may be putting off buyers from non-US 
locations by using GSP, as I for one would not be prepared to buy from anyone 
with that 'service', and such sentiments were also aired here previously.

  If a poster is in general good condition most collectors like to see the

  I think Christies do not regard anything less than £1000 as worthy of their 
notice, so while they did not specify I have to think they were referring to 
posters of higher value, and they felt it was best for conservation reasons. 
But it is interesting that Rich considers even those of higher value are better 
left in original condition unless in need of (a lot of?) restoration.

  I just had a look at Bruce's preview and I have to say it is pretty 
amazing. What surprises me, though, is some of the posters which people have 
gone to the expense of having linenbacked, and I wonder at what point does that 
become a viable option. I am using EMP sales as an example here, but I imagine 
it is the same across the board. 
  'The Big Hangover' (1950) is listed as 'good to very good' in linen, 
but that is a poster which normally sells for around $20-25 in that condition, 
folded. As having a poster backed and foldlines retouched by a reputable 
restorer would cost at least $120, that means the poster should fetch around 
$150 at least, but that is unlikely to be the case. 'Striptease' (1996), again 
in very good condition maybe $25, but how much more would you pay for one 
linenbacked?
  Taking just one example from EMP (though it is not hard to find 
others) - 'Bite The Bullet' (1985), very good, folded, sold for $4 last year, 
and one in similar condition, linenbacked, sold for $28, also last year. That 
means the added value for restoration and backing was only $24, probably at 
least one fifth of the actual cost. So at what point does the expense become 
worthwhile? I appreciate that, as a matter of personal taste, someone may wish 
to have a poster framed and displayed to best advantage, and so has it backed, 
regardless of actual value, but do they expect that the cost will be recouped 
on resale? Really, I am just curious here, as I would only ever have higher 
value posters backed. 
  Anyway, even the prices realised for higher value ones do not 
necessarily always reflect the cost of restoration, something which I have 
gratefully taken advantage of in the past, and hope I may do so again! Which, I 
have to say, make EMP's Signature Auctions quite exciting events (no 
remuneration was made by Bruce to have me highlight his listings, but hey, I'm 
open to offers!)

[MOPO] About MoPo

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

In the last few years I have been getting a lot of private responses and 
comments from MoPo members. It does seem that MoPo generates a great deal of 
discussion but a lot of it is Offlist for the recipient only so the thoughts 
of various members are never made public to the entire list. I wonder if this 
is just applicable to MoPo because all of the email addresses are readily 
available. I would imagine that this wouldn't happen so much on the other 
discussion boards because it takes more time and effort to contact members off 
list. Maybe it might be better for people to post their thoughts publicly 
rather than private emails which defeats the purpose of a discussion board.

Just an observation.

I agree with Tommy that some people might mistakenly hit the Reply button 
rather than Reply All but I am really talking about people who deliberately 
reply Offlist with private comments. They often make very good and valid 
points and its a pity that they dont want to post to everyone on the List.

I suspect part of the problem is that when you click on 'reply' it 
addresses the response to only the original sender by default, and you have to 
scroll down to send to all the subscribers. Might be better if that could be 
reversed.

  Hi John, I totally agree with you but we probably have to accept that - over 
the long life of MOPO - schisms have emerged  become fixed.  MOPO has become 
increasingly bad-tempered  tribal over the years and so terrific people who 
used to post don't now post very often.  I'm thinking about people like Andrea 
 Sue but there are many others.  Probably there's a silent majority who just 
feel it's not worth the trouble posting in case they get attacked.

Re: [MOPO] Google Analytics: Hits, Views and Impressions

Very useful information, David. 

Here's a question for you. Can you have too many keywords for a listing or 
image? I seem to remember that google might just drop off keywords over a 
certain limit but I wondered if you can actually be penalised by putting in too 
many keywords.

  There's two types of people interested in these results, the first is those 
trying to sell you an advert on their website, the second is those who have a 
website and are trying to decipher what these figures mean. If you're in the 
second group (and apologise to Shakespeare) then Read on, Macduff...

  I'll assume you've logged back into your Google Analytics account, if not, 
I'll wait...

  Page Views

  This is usually shown on the entry page of Google Analytics (or on the left 
menu click Audience/Overview)

  In my opinion this is a great data tool and can tell you a lot about the 
quality of your website and/or products on offer therein. These figures are the 
TOTAL number of pages viewed and SHOULD ALWAYS be read in conjunction with (the 
average) Pages/Visit because obviously the higher the (average pages viewed per 
visit) the better. 

  How many is a good average? Well that is first dependent on how many pages 
your site has, but if you are a commercial website (sell posters) with a 
reasonable stock holding then you really should be double figures average per 
visit. 

  Which basically means: if your average Pages viewed per Visit is low then you 
need to wonder why you can't keep your visitor's attention and time to get to 
work on your website...


  Page Hits

  This is old school, and as many of us are old, some much much older too, you 
will remember this...but if you ever see it or have it presented as part of 
some advertising strategy, ignore it.

  Why? Well, whereas a Page View is the count on how many times a page was 
viewed  - the old 'Hit' was the total count of files ON THAT PAGE (being 
accessed by the surfer).  In other words, if someone is on a page that contains 
4 poster pictures, a couple of JavaScript, perhaps three menu buttons and an 
embedded video, then that is ONE page view but TEN hits. A somewhat inflated 
view of self methinks...

  So never listen to someone selling you ads on their website based on 'hits'


  Page Impressions

  Often confused with Page Views

  This is simply used by those selling ads on (theirs/other people's) website 
and really doesn't apply to those of us who have just a website and want to 
simply improve our viewing results. 

  Basically an impression counted when an object on a web page is displayed 
(e.g. your advert), but often this will be 'sold' as part of the total count - 
e.g. if there are 10 ads on 3 pages viewed, then the count is 1 x10 = 30 
impressions which is far better than the reality that your advert was displayed 
just 3 times (perhaps less if it is on rotation). Don't get me wrong, in the 
right places paid internet advertising does work but IMHO I would never 
recommend buying adverts based on impressions, better to pay per click (and set 
the budget with the supplier).

  --

  I hope the above has been of help to someone, I apologise to those who knew 
all this already, still, no trees were harmed in sending it...

  As always, I remind you that having a website is easy, making it work for you 
is a lot of hard work. 

  regards 

  David Rew

Re: [MOPO] 'even though I was the #1 movie poster dealer in the world'

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

There would not have been many Movie Poster dealer websites back in 1998. That 
was still a time when many people did business over the phone or through Movie 
Collectors World and fairs, etc. I started selling on ebay in 1998 and sold a 
heck of a lot of posters despite not having any photos for the listings and 
only brief descriptions. It was amazing how many customers would buy posters 
sight unseen just based on the description. In those days you could leave 
feedback for anyone even if you did not have a transaction going. A guy 
threatened to leave me negative feedback because I outbid him once. Customers 
used to send payment through the mail and it would take a couple of weeks to 
get to Australia and then a couple of weeks before they received their posters 
but they didnt seem to mind waiting. 

When paypal started up, they offerred me a 10.00 finders fee for anyone who 
signed up to pay for purchasing any of my items. That was a good earner for a 
while!

I have used the Wayback Machine a lot searching archived websites. Its 
frustrating that some are blocked but it is fascinating to see how sites have 
evolved over the years.

Have you been buying from us for 16 years? Then you will remember this! 
Sometime in 1998, even though I was the #1 movie poster dealer in the world, I 
realized I HAD to have a website.

So I hired my uncle, Eli Post, to create one, which I stupidly called 
brucehershenson.com (this would create major problems years later; see below).

Here is the earliest screenshot I can find of that site, from December 12, 
1998 (of course, some of the links don't work, but surprisingly, many do!). 
http://web.archive.org/web/19981212023407/http://www.brucehershenson.com/

After I changed my website name from brucehershenson.com to 
emovieposter.com, I naturally wanted to switch brucehershenson.com to 
emovieposter.com. But by that time I had a zillion links all over the Internet 
to brucehershenson.com addresses. So I had all those pages re-direct to the 
same named emovieposter.com pages.

Well, Google, in its infinitely wisdom, saw this as some kind of scam, so 
all pages on both sites were greatly punished in natural search even though I 
was far and away the number one vintage movie poster site!

But over time, the massive content of emovieposter.com (around a million 
images, and a massive amount of valuable content) eventually overcame this, but 
still it was a sad problem for a long time.

Thanks for the quick reply. I agree that it must be Robert Beatty. The thing

Has anyone ever come across stills from the same movie with different

Total number of Auction and For Sale related announcements: 62 Posts (84%)

Want-to-buy requests from dealers: 3 Posts (4%)

All other messages: 9 Posts (12%)

Of course, this was only one week, but my guess is, if you do this any 
other week, the result will be pretty much the same.

Re: [MOPO] Our 19th Birthday - is it dead ?

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I would like to see far less For Sale and advertising posts - no more than 
one per day per individual (and in my humble opinion even that is overkill!). I 
know that this has been raised many times before but I agree that the primary 
purpose of the list should be for discussion about the hobby.

  I have said this before but I will say this again..I believe a discussion 
forum like Mopo and any other forum should be about sharing ideas, thoughts and 
comments about what we have in common, a love of the poster industry (sounds 
nice and warm doesn't it).It is hard to make money from it but we stick at it 
mainly because we love the hobby so much, often we have long suffering partners 
in the back ground who either want to divorce us / have done so or have taken 
up 'Candy Crush'.

   

  The forum should not be about subtle jibes at each other or any sort of 
bragging in any sort of form, people just get tired of hearing that and the 
atmosphere just becomes dead and it does the messenger no favours. At the end 
of the day , it does not matter if you are the gorilla in the room or the 
smallest dealer, the product you sell with the service you provide speaks 
volumes. The last posting that I thought really lived up to the spirit of what 
I thought a discussion board should be like was when everyone chipped in and 
commented about what a poster website could and should be like if you were to 
build one. This topic even then went into sub topic's that many continued to 
comment on i.e. Freight issues a topic that we all have to deal with as well. 
Sure it is good to let everyone know what you have for sale, but what about 
providing advice. I think if you did a survey on how many public posts were 
done in that spirit you would find not a lot. Maybe we are all to guarded and 
don't want to give too much away - fair enough. But I believe currently we 
should try to post in a less bragging / jibing fashion and a more helpful 
commentary fashion when asked to or maybe we should be game and start asking.

   

  If anybody has any thoughts I'm keen to hear.

  Hallo MOPO

  In honour of its 19th birthday (Congrats Scott) I thought I'd ask a question 
to you long-time dealer/collector types. Does anyone own - or have ambitions to 
own - an entire US campaign for a single, major film?  I guess this would have 
to include all these:


  Trade ad(s)
  Pressbook with herald
  All known 10x8 photos
  Premiere or other Program
  TC + 7 x lobby cards
  half-sheet(s)
  1-sheet(s)
  Window Card(s)
  Insert(s)
  3-sheet(s)
  6-sheet(s)
  24-sheet(s)
  Door panel(s) if applic.
  Standee(s) if applic.
  Banner(s) if applic.
  Subway(s) if applic.
  30x40s and 40x60s if applic. 



  It's quite an undertaking!


  Anyone managed to do that for a particular title?  I haven't, but it sounds 
like quite a fun challenge.  


  Or maybe I just need to get out more.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Does movies and TV making light of drug use and drug dealing contribute at all?

Yes, I think it does contribute. Take the The Wolf of Wall Street, for example, 
where most of the cast are seen continually using drugs. That film certainly 
makes light of drug use without really demonstrating the dire effects of 
addiction. All of the characters seem to be able to cope with taking any amount 
of substance and when they do go too far those scenes are depicted as comical.

Re: [MOPO] PSH RIP

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Well, their careers certainly imploded before our very eyes but they never 
really showed the physical effects of the drugs. And their careers imploded 
because they were breaking the law and ripping people off. The reality is that 
many who use drugs to excess ultimately end up with severe physical scars from 
which they never recover. The Wolf of Wall Street portrayed drug taking as a 
recreation essential to do business and generally get through life. Not sure if 
the drug use of Jordan Belfort might have been exaggerated in the film but you 
have to wonder if someone could withstand that sort of excessive abuse.

That being said, I enjoyed the film - although it wasnt in the same league as 
Goodfellas (in my humble opinion!).

Re: [MOPO] Dear Mopos with Websites!

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Alan
I sell through my own website but also on eBay. Bruce is certainly correct 
in saying that the most important thing about having your own website is 
getting potential customers to actually look at your site. It takes a lot of 
work to get your site to appear at the top of search engines with a high 
page rank but direct marketing is also very important. As an example, I have 
a very large mailing list and I find that whenever I send out a Newsletter I 
get lots of orders from my website.


One thing I really like about having my own site is that there are no 
constantly changing rules to put up with eg photo sizes, item specifics, 
postage polices, return policies, Vero issues etc etc etc. This makes 
listing on my website much easier and listing on ebay much more cumbersome. 
Another issue with ebay, of course, is the fees which keep changing and the 
Free listings that are given out in huge numbers to selected sellers which 
create an unfair market place for sellers.


My website can certainly support itself on its own but there is a great deal 
of work involved. If I stopped selling on ebay I would be able to survive 
from website sales but you need to be constantly updating the site and 
continually working on and tweaking SEO techniques.


Despite all of that I have actually increased my presence on ebay and now 
have two ebay stores and sometimes use a third user id to list other stuff 
occasionally. I still sell a heck of a lot on ebay but they dont make it as 
easy as they could or should.


For anyone interested in setting up a website, I would recommend David Rew 
(from this list) da...@kissnet.com.au but whoever you use to set up a 
website, you must be prepared to do the work in SEO and direct marketing.

Dear Mopos with Websites -

Have been thinking of following Bruce's advice and creating my own 
off-Ebay website to sell (not auction) posters and goodies.



How do you mo-pros who sell on your own sites enjoy that digital venue vs. 
the old Ebay paradigm?


Is it more difficult technically (man hours) to use your own site or 
costly to keep running than you thought it would be?


How do you drive eyeballs - Is it tough getting visitors?

Do you sell on Ebay and your own site - or strictly your own site?

What do you suggest be included or avoided when building a site?

Any big surprises or epiphanies you've had in the process of building and 
running your website that you'd be willing to share?



Hope some folks find this a stimulating thread.
Thanks in advance for your time.

[MOPO] Sellers and Consignments

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi to you all

A buyer recently told me that he purchased a poster from a seller on ebay and 
was told that the item was on consignment from a third party in another 
country. The interesting thing is that the seller did not actually have the 
poster. He had apparently made an agreement where the consignor would send it 
to him only if a sale was made. To me, that seems to open up all sorts of 
potential problems. What if the consignor changes his mind despite the fact 
that the sale has been made? What if the poster turns out to have more issues 
than expected bearing in mind that the seller has not physically handled the 
poster? What about shipping delays caused by the double handling?

I'm just curious as to how this works. Have you come across dealers who sell 
posters on consignment without actually holding the posters? Have you ever 
consigned posters in this way? Have any sales worked out well for you?

Regards
John

Re: [MOPO] NT Delivery times on Posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Filip and Helmut
Christies in London used to refer their customers to Messrs Cadogen and Tate 
for shipping quotes when I last bid. Not sure if they still do that but the 
quotes I received were astronomical and that just put me off bidding at all. I 
know they have some high rollers who dont care too much about what they pay but 
they also rely on others who will not pay exhorbitant shipping charges.

  Hi John and Wim,


  when Christies London still had their bi-annual poster auction I used to buy 
from them quite frequently, but I ONLY bid when I was in London and able to 
pick the posters up in person. Even back in the 1990s, the shipping company 
they used had absolutely ridiculous rates.


  I won quite a few non-poster items from an auction house in the Midwest 
earlier this year, that also works with a third party shipper. Eventually, I 
paid about $800 to the shipper, about $220 of this were the actual USPS 
shipping costs. $580 for two cardboard boxes, packing materials and maybe two 
hours time for the actual packing and handling still seems pretty ridiculous to 
me.


  Helmut



Hi Wim
I always thought that if a large auction house wants international bidders 
they should at least try and organise a decent shipping option for their 
customers. I used to buy quite a bit at auctions in London and usually was able 
to pick them up in person. However, on one occasion I had to have it sent and I 
couldnt believe the quote I received to send one poster to Australia. It meant 
that future bidding was just not possible because the cost of getting the item 
sent was so high. Its good that Heritage has their own shipping department and 
that is obviously a much better option than having to arrange postage through a 
third party.

John

  However, some auction houses do not have shipping departments at all. 
They leave it up to you to arrange shipping, despite the fact that they 
encourage interstate and international bidders. I recently bid on an auction 
interstate and it was considerably cheaper for me to pay for a flight and 
accommodation rather than pay the ridiculous fee that the third party packing 
agent wanted.


  John, that is a real SOB to find out. Had the same experience with 
auctions in Canada and Italy. Actually I have the problem right now. Ecxellent 
communication until I asked for the shipping arrangements. Now they are also 
closed for the Season. Sure hope I don't have to pay for a fight, usually I 
have a 4 height advance over Italians.

[MOPO] FA: Daybill with John Richardson signature

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi to you all
I have a very rare daybill up for auction - Salomy Jane (1924). It is 
particualrly significant because it is one of the very rare posters that bears 
the signature of John Richardson who founded The Richardson Studio and went on 
to produce the artwork for many of the Paramount daybills from the 1920s - 
about 1960 .

Re: [MOPO] NT Delivery times on Posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Ben
As you know, I sell a lot on ebay and sellers are expected to send packages 
very quickly - usually within one day of payment. Buyers have been educated to 
expect prompt shipping along with low postage charges and great packaging plus 
notification of shipment. If sellers dont meet the standards they are given low 
ratings and they eventually get booted out. This is the new ebay. In my 
humble opinion, another important thing is that buyers need to know the postage 
costs before they bid - not after. 

ebay publish postage costs, return policy, shipping times including how quickly 
a seller will send the item. Its all there for buyers to check before they make 
their purchase. Maybe auction houses might have restrictions or issues that 
prevent them from shipping immediately but I think anything longer than a week 
to ship is probably unreasonable.

However, some auction houses do not have shipping departments at all. They 
leave it up to you to arrange shipping, despite the fact that they encourage 
interstate and international bidders. I recently bid on an auction interstate 
and it was considerably cheaper for me to pay for a flight and accommodation 
rather than pay the ridiculous fee that the third party packing agent wanted.

Regards
John

  Subject: [MOPO] NT Delivery times on Posters


  Hi all

   

  I have always seen MoPo as a way of talking about our hobby and our 
experiences with other likeminded people. Thus I would be keen to hear any 
feedback from the more experienced collectors / dealers on the above topic and 
what is considered reasonable and what is not as this experience I am about to 
relay is my first with this coy. Maybe I am expecting too much and if so I'll 
take on board what is said for future reference and if it is otherwise then my 
instincts are right. 

   

  I recently bought a poster from Heritage for the first time. Being new to the 
shipping options that were available to me, I found the customer service staff 
at Heritage to be very helpful post the completion of the auction. Once the 
options had been made clear to me in terms of cost and time frames etc, I made 
a decision, filled out the appropriate paper work and relayed that to the staff 
on the 26th November. I was informed at the time that the poster would take up 
to 3 weeks to get to me which was fair enough. All seemed well up to this 
point, I had won my poster at auction, the customer service staff that I had 
been in touch with were helpful and my poster was about to leave or was it ?

   

  On the 18th December I sent an e-mail to the primary staff member at Heritage 
who had been very helpful asking for confirmation as to when the poster left as 
it had been just over 3 weeks. I received a prompt reply back from the helpful 
staff member who informed me that she had been in touch with the shipping 
manager and the result was my poster had not actually left . The two reasons 
were, 3 weeks ago an Ice storm set in for 3 days and that set them back a few 
days. The other reason was so I am told, only one person is allocated to pack 
all the posters because they are so delicate. So because of an ice storm that 
lasted 3 days and 1 person packing posters, my poster has sat around for 3 
weeks and is only now moving because I e-mailed them. 

   

  When I was emailed with these reasons as to why my poster had not left , I 
responded essentially saying Heritage has good people on its customer service 
staff but unfortunately they are getting let down by others when it comes to 
shipping. However I also mentioned on other selling platforms such as eBay, 
this sort of shipping standard and lack of communication concerning delays 
doesn't get tolerated and there are significant consequences. ( I am sure you 
are all aware of that).Why should Heritage be exempt I am thinking particularly 
when it comes to a new customer ? I mentioned in the e-mail I am purely wanting 
to give valuable feedback as a first time customer. With this in mind, you 
would think this would be an opportunity for a coy like Heritage to shine as 
being customer focused in times of trouble but as yet I have only had automated 
acknowledgements of my e-mail from the two people I sent it to and no responses.

   

  As one last footnote to this post, I have had a survey sent to me (automated) 
saying this.

  We are here for you, and I just wanted to give you an opportunity to help us 
enrich and improve your client experience by giving us your feedback

  I have been factual, balanced and given praise where it's due in this post 
but would be keen to hear what others think

Re: [MOPO] NT Delivery times on Posters

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Wim
I always thought that if a large auction house wants international bidders they 
should at least try and organise a decent shipping option for their customers. 
I used to buy quite a bit at auctions in London and usually was able to pick 
them up in person. However, on one occasion I had to have it sent and I couldnt 
believe the quote I received to send one poster to Australia. It meant that 
future bidding was just not possible because the cost of getting the item sent 
was so high. Its good that Heritage has their own shipping department and that 
is obviously a much better option than having to arrange postage through a 
third party.
Regards
John

Re: [MOPO] paper backing

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

I don't like paper backing at all. I feel that the process detracts from the 
authenticity of a lobby card and I would be very reluctant to buy a card that 
has been backed. Paper backed lobby cards just don't look right to me. Paper 
backing larger posters is also a negative as far as I am concerned. Paper 
backed posters cannot be rolled so they are much more difficult to send through 
the post and they are more difficult to store. I much prefer linen backing or 
even leaving posters and lobby cards as is.

  just wondering how people feel about and or evaluate paper backed items. As a 
hypothetical.. (and this is truly hypothetical i dont have the card nor is 
there one up for auction) you have a creature black lagoon title card in very 
good condition lets say pinholes in borders, some border scoffs, dog ears on 
the corners, an unobtrusive faint crease in the image area and minute surface 
paper loss in the credits...now you back the card,airbrush the borders, fix the 
pinholes and touch up the credits so card looks very fine/near mint what should 
the card sell for prebacked in original condition versus  backed and touched up 
...looking for some general guidelines ..thanks and happy holidays..Alan

Re: [MOPO] paper backing

[JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia]

Hi Adrian
That is true but quite a few auction houses actually recommend to clients that 
they should get their posters or lobby cards paper backed or linen backed 
before placing them in auction. The theory is that it might be worth getting 
the item backed to achieve a better price. The auction house often handles the 
backing for the client. Nothing at all wrong with that and it sometimes gets 
the desired result.
Regards
John

  As an auction consultant here in the UK - I would perhaps pre-empt Bruce and 
Grey by saying any item that comes in for auction whatever the condition at a 
certain level that item will sell - paper backed or not. 

  Bruce and Grey will point out the paper backing and allow the purchaser to 
discern if they want that item and at what cost.

  That is the nature of auctions.

Bonham's with the help of Turner Classic Movies had a very impressive 
auction today.  Scripts hit the roof, posters were solid,  costumes pretty 
great,  but one prop kind of knocked it out of the park.


The Maltese Falcon - 4 million and change.
